DurtyBurdz155 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Antone Smith is pretty fast, faster than Jacquizz. If the Special Teams blockers can open up some holes, I think he could pick up some yards. Anybody but Rodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 This has actually been talked about before. Last year, the coaching staff listed him as a possibility as the returner, but nothing really came of it. My guess is that they think that he has more value as a gunner. It's also why we see less of him on offense; they don't want to lose the ST defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons_Frenzy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 There is no doubt about it Antone Smith needs the ball in his hands more. I don't care how we do it but it needs to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurtyBurdz155 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I was just wondering, considering we never have good field position. I guess maybe because we never get a chance to return it out, but when we do, we still end up at the 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Post Master Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I got flamed for suggesting this over a year ago. Truth be told we never needed Rodgers but our coaches and front office is clueless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy5prings Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yes, but Antone's not going to get many chances.Why? Because Smitty prefers touchbacks vs a return where there's a chance of a fumble. Quizz is the safe option. Why risk a fumble just so that your offense can get good field position or even a free score?Safety first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steampunk Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Anyone with half a brain would put Smith in for a returner , it makes perfect sense....that's why it wont happen in Atlanta under Smitty. And the nuthuggerswant another year of this fool ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific_Falcon Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 We could put a cardboard cutout back there and it wouldn't matter since the kick always go out of the end zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawggone Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I can't figure out why he isn't. If its bc he is the gunner then how lame. Wasn't Weems doing both for us? And that's like saying we shouldn't play Ryan at QB because he is our best holder of PATs. Or that Deion should have never been used as a PR. When you have playmakers you get the ball in their hands as often as possible. I mean this is as bad as not putting Bosher in at LB bc he is our best Punter **sarcasm** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4dabirds Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Who got the reverse at the start of the Buffalo game? Was it Smith or Darius Johnson? Edited December 3, 2013 by 4dabirds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O.D.B Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 No because if he returned the kick for 6 they'd pull him for the rest of the game as punishment and bring in Franks to teach the fans a lesson.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
