matty72780 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I know HD83 is returning punts but I'd lobby for him to return kicks too. HD has blazing top end speed, Quizz is shifty but doesn’t have the breakaway speed to out run the defenders that HD does. We gotta pull out all the stop in my opinion, our special teams return game this years been nonexistent.PS - I'd love to see the Falcons come out of that tunnel in all black! I know it'll never happen but those jerseys were amazing! GO FALCONS!!!! SUPERBOWL or BUST!!!! Edited January 15, 2013 by matty72780 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taydumz Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 No quizz better KR he set us up pretty nice in that GW drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty72780 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 No quizz better KR he set us up pretty nice in that GW driveSet us up pretty nice? He got us to the 28 yard line. We need top end speed to match Ginn and James. HD83 was a lethal return man a few years ago, I guess we're just scared to get him injured because we lack WR depth if he was to go down.

freebird310 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I agree with you, Quizz has been steady but unspectacular, but he did get us clutch field position for Ryan on the GW drive,.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Nah, keep HD on punts and Quizz on KO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freebird310 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 28 is better than the 20Yea, I mean add 8 yards to the FG attempt, that extra 8 yards meant alot ....lets not go messing with what got us to this point, we can find a dynamic return man next year, I am sure it is on the list...

blizzard_falcon Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I actually really like this idea. Quizz was middle-of-the pack in his average return this season, and he is very consistent in getting to the 25-30 yard line when he chooses to bring the ball out, but he's not a home run threat. I can only think of one instance all season where he got out around the 50.We need someone returning kicks who has the potential to break a big run off, like Holliday and Manning did last week. I say stick HD83 back there on Sunday and see what he can do. And it's not like injury concerns can play too much into the logic here, because losing Quizz on a kickoff return is even worse than losing Douglas on one, in my opinion.

HD was the kickoff/PR specialist when he was at Louisville so it's nothing unfamiliar to him. We need any edge we can get IMO. Play for the proverbial "home run" not just the single or double we may get with Quizz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ya_boi_j Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hopefully punt protection is a lil better so hd can actuallyreturn a kick for ddecent yardage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taydumz Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If that kevin cone guy wouldnt have got hurt he woulda been good! He has like a 97 speed on madden lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFalcon Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Maybe we can address that after the season. For now, lets just stick with what we've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Flare Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'd be cool with HD doing both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HASHBROWN3 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The difference between the 28 yard line and the 20 is the same difference between a 49 yard field goal and a 57 yarder... Thanks lil' buddy... that was huge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I'm even a little concerned about HD returning puntsIf he gets hurt who becomes slot receiverOnly Drew Davis left --Toone has been inactivegoing with only 4 WRsWould Davis have made that catch on the ~ 50 yds line? (last drive)If speed was the only requirement Antone Smith would be in there as PR/KR Edited January 15, 2013 by delaigle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to go with standard approved home/away unis I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXVIII-III Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I love seeing HD83 back there returning kicks, but they waited way too long to put him back there. If they would have done it earlier in the season, he could've established more of a rhythm throughout the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leland Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Me too. However, don't think it's allowable in the playoff.
