BleedinBlue Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 According to KFFL: "New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin indicated Tuesday, Aug. 30, that WRs Victor Cruz, Domenik Hixon and CB Aaron Ross might be candidates to return punts, although with Ross now a starting cornerback, Coughlin sounded hesitant to use Ross in the role" I think it would be a huge mistake to give the job to Ross. The return guy has to be super-durable with no real injury history or prone to injury. And we have no freakin depth at CB. Don't do it Tom!!!

echochamber Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'll personally put the bullet in TCs head myself if he does this. You never, NEVER put a starting CB back on punt returns... especially when we have Hixon. TC just loves pounding the square peg into the round hole. Belichik is available this offseason, correct?

Allstarjim Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think we should but Eli back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Seriously, if it's gonna be a starter...why not Jacobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think we should but Eli back there. The way our return game is you may as well put Petrus in. ...actually that might be awesome if he could get up a head of steam and bulldoze some guys.

JackStroud Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Devin Thomas should do it.....if not him than DJ Ware putting Ross out there or hixon with their history of injuries is madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have a feeling Cruz would be good at returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have a feeling Cruz would be good at returns. I think they tried him last preseason and he didn't look good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think they tried him last preseason and he didn't look good at all. They did? Damn, seems like he'd be good. Dont know why, maybe just cause I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Seriously what about Jacobs? It seems the problem is catching a long wobbly ball. I also notice that as soon as our opponents catch the ball, they take off on a 45 degree angle (or more) to the sideline where most players aren't. We don't seem to be able to cover the whole field and bunch up to one side while the reciever simply jukes to the other side. On top of that, when we catch the ball (WHEN we catch it), it seems our recievers head straight forward into the bunch hoping that a miracle will occur and they'll blindly find a tiny hole to get to. In rare occassions when our reciever heads for the far side that is less jammed up with tacklers, we actually make progress and gain a bunch of yards. So why is it so hard to figure out?

NeMesiS Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Awesome! Why stop there? Why not see if Tuck can return punts too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStroud Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Coughlin Let Coughlin return punts............a former Syracuce HB also known to be a no nonsense guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStroud Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have a feeling Cruz would be good at returns. They have used Cruz already in pre-season......it was a failure to-date Devin Thomas is fearless and like Hixon makes one move and then accelerates....no happy feet............hes your man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
