Depth usually looks pretty good in August, though. Crunch time will be October and November.

It's too bad Shields isn't catching the returns cleanly. KR/PR is for me one of the most underrated positions in the game. It can be the wild card of games, winning some games we should have lost.

I'm weary of Blackmon being 100% because of his injury. If so, great, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Shields' speed would have been nice.

Good news though that Shields has been a pleasant surprise. You can never have too many CBs, as we learned the hard way last year.

I agree man, it seems shields is extremely impressive when he gets the ball in hands, it really is too bad he cant field the punts and kicks cleanly because from the sound of things he'd be our best returner.

Really hoping this kid can fine tune his game all around. Once and IF that happens, MAJOR STEAL.

Hopefully we can finally get rid of Bush if Shields handles his business.

Too bad he can't handle kicks cleanly, sounds like otherwise he'd be a good option.

^ What I'm hoping for is he learns to field the ball better so he can at least make the roster on Special Teams. then they can continue to groom him at the CB spot.

We NEED a big time returner. If the kid can just hang onto the ball. Muffing a punt can kill you.

I always thought he would make a better gunner than returner. He doesn't have great confidence in his hands. If you don't, you try too hard instead of concentrating on the ball and letting your hands do the work. You can tell by the way he catches it off his chest. He has to practice catching it with his hands and building his confidence.

No use having a speedy guy that'll get you an extra 5-10 yards if he'll muff 1/10 or even 1/20 punts. I'd rather we just fair-catch everything if that's what it takes to keep the football. I have enough confidence in our offense to overcome bad field position, not anywhere near that much confidence in our special teams.

Even if Will Blackmon came back 100% he still was never that good of a kick returner. It would be nice if we could have someone step up in that area and Shields has the speed for it but his return last night wasn't very impressive. I am hoping they can at least give him another shot on kick returns but I won't care if he is done for good trying punts.
