Can we just fair catch it every time.

Last years leading yards per punt return only averaged 15.2 yards. Maybe we can just throw a jump ball to Finley on first down and make up for the fair catching 😛

I remember a starting CB return punts and kicks pretty good for many years. His name was Prime Time, I think you want someone to put fear in the opposing team like Hester did.

Exactly. Can't spend all your time worrying about injuries. You've got to put your best option out there.

If Woodson or Williams were anywhere near as good as Deion at returning punts, I would say go for it. But Woodson is pretty average at it. Williams is better, though, and may be worth considering.

I remember during the '97 season, after Desmond Howard left, Holmgren used Brooks and Freeman as returners during the playoffs. But I think he used unknown players during the regular season.

He has in a preseason before... he had some real troubles figuring out where it was going until it was too late and had to rush over to it... kinda like Shields but he looked more sure handed but still had fumble troubles and watching the ball and the gunners coming at him at the same time...

Yes, he has. Five times for 29 yards with a long of 10 in the pro's and I think he did it in college too.

Holy smokes. +1 to Hazer. I had no idea how good he was.

Deion was possibly the best coverage CB I've ever seen so yes, he was super valuable as a CB.

FYI - he led the NFL in PR TDs 3 times, PR Average once, KR TDs twice, and KR Yards once.

Yes, let's give our opponents one more thing to worry about. I'd like to see us more aggressive. If we can get TDs in STs, that would make a major difference. We haven't been getting them recently.

Per Vikings.com MN has a starting WR returning kicks and a starting CB returning punts. It's not unusual.

Neon Deion was a freak of nature. Playing defense, offense and playing an entirely seperate sport at a pro level as well. In my mind, Prime Time is in the books as one of the best athletes of all time across any sports imho. If he was worth risking to win football games, then we should be willing to do the same. The lifespan of a pro athlete is so short, use them while we can.

"Green bay here I come!!!"

It's not a verified account but it still may be real. I don't see any point in not trying him out though.

When I seen he was cut, I was looking for us to make a play for him.

But, it makes too much sense in my pea-sized brain, so I'm sure it's a fake account.

I mean, a returner with some talent AND adds a RB to our active roster? No, not happening.

Edit, Interesting??

On September 5, 2010, after claiming running back Kregg Lumpkin off waivers from Green Bay, the Bucs released Smith.

Fucking Ted sitting on his fucking hands! Why didn't he just work out a trade? Why didn't he KNOW that the Bucs would release Smith! Fucking hand warming slacker! HE must be spending too much time with his wife, er kids, or .. wait ...

Zero2Cool (13h) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (15h) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
