Drives me crazy that he sometimes lets the ball bounce. He'll be 5 yards away and won't fair catch, it's cost us yards a few times. I wouldn't mind somebody else back there.

Seems like he has been sure handed so far even with the over-aggressiveness

I don't think the plan is always to reach the EZ on kickoffs.

I don't trust our coverage team, I guess...

Always makes me nervous too but I think it's intentional to kick to the goal lin

9 returns for 36 yards & long return of 11. What's not to like?!

Not sure much of that is his fault...he has rarely not had 4 opponents around

There are too many opposing players on their feet during our returns. Both Kick-

He's always been covered very well on returns.

I can't think of 1 single time he's had any room at all.

Oh, did he actually return one?

I like him in LF and CF. Hopefully he's with the Cubs in a couple years.

We probably have 15 other kids on the team that are faster...

Have you seen Dye on the sweeps? The kid starts to QB slide anytime anyone gets

Dillinger

I didn't notice that on his one carry against UConn. He got laid out pretty good

They always look like big hits, but he stops running and is already going down

Dillinger

He tenses up when he sees a hit coming. I see a number of BYU players do it...

So basically no point in giving him the ball if he's going to close his eyes and

I don't think the coaches trust him

And this is where coaching needs to take place...

Punt Returner is one position where a coach should have experience. When to

I don't think that is a Hanneman issue, but rather a coaching issue.

I don't think he let ANY fall last week, did he? in fact I thought he tried to

He wasn't in position to field the one that bounced off a player. Maybe

We need to do better at setting up blocks for him...

He has good hands and not afraid of contact. He needs blocking and a wall to

Yeah, I wasn't a fan when he didn't wave our guys off and the ball hit UCONN

Not sure if the returner is the problem....blocking has been terrible.....

Kick returners are worse.

Results aren't great, but is that the blocking? Is it lack of depth?

I don't, but it doesn't matter who is back there. BYU is usually awful

Playing Special Teams is an attitude. You play physical, wrecklessly controlled,

I don't - he makes one lateral move, acts like he's really going to run fast...
