Stroughter, Smith and Underwood aren't the answer...

Need to bottle some lightning this season...

Who's the guy?

Draft?   Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, Dennis Johnson or hell even - Denard Robinson

Who is available as FA?

Thoughts?

Leodis Mckelvin and Darius Reynaud both have returned 3 or more punts/kickoffs for TDs

signing leodis mckelvin gets two birds stoned...will help the return game and at the least is a decent nickel back

...you have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting...

Sanders would be a solid mid/late round pick.

I'm still wondering what's up with michael smith.

Hard to count out Michael Smith.  We haven't even seen what he can do yet.

In before JDub says Smith is only a straight-line runner and not as fast as advertised, which is my preliminary assessment as well. We'll see--we really haven't seen a lot of him.

They seem to be keeping him around for some reason.  Whatever that may be, we will find out in due time.

Coverage is a bigger need than return men. We were worse than awful last season.

Archer is staying in school.

Count my vote for McKelvin, he'd make a good #3/slot CB and KR/PR.  He shouldn't be too expensive, either.

Michael Smith may be a better returner than anyone we had last year, but there's no point keeping him on the active roster if he's useless on offense. The returner has to at least be a decent backup worth activating.

Trindon Holliday disagrees.

Trindon Holliday disagrees.

If he were as good as Trindon Holliday, and was a WR, then he would be worth activating. As a RB though he's not as good as Blount or Ware, and if we get rid of either of those two, we could still easily get someone better than Smith.

I would rather have a guy like Spurlock on the team who isn't too bad at returns, and can actually contribute as a receiver if needed.

He went back to Kent State for his senior year. But he would've been a good pick up.

We should've given Michael Smith more chances, this need may not really be a need afterall.
