Crawford returning kickoffs
Kind of surprised this hasn't been a thread yet but, uh, Crawford on kickoff returns is............tall?
He's had some really poor decisions back there taking the ball out imo.
What should be done about this position? I say just give it to DPJ. He already has a punt return TD.

I remember thinking during the Maryland game last season that he would probably be one of our stars at wide-out. But he seems slower, more hesitant and can not make moves to lose coverage. I'm not sure what has happened?

Is there one thing Kekoa Crawford does well?

Best guy on the team at changing to a Hawaiian name.

well he did have a td against msu that was called back. or are you going to blame him for higdon holding?

That is all.

Att least the current returners should never should bring it out of endzone, take the knee, they should realize it when this season they almost always have been brought down between the 15 and 20.

Thomas had his first return against msu.
Go Blue!

They are on MGoBlue

Nah. He isn't as fast as Thomas and DPJ, especially straight line speed. You want guys that not only are blazing fast but ones that can hit the seam as quickly as possible. There's a reason you don't usually see RBs in that role as much.

Crawford's been hesitant and indecisive on his returns. Pretty much guaranteed not to get past the 15 when he brings it out.
October 11th, 2017 at 9:53 PM ^
a little on the messy side right now with this football team?
October 11th, 2017 at 9:58 PM ^
Harbaugh may want to try someone else with good hands and more quicks.

if you watch on TV you won't know. If you're at the game you can clearly see the name on the back of the jersey. Thomas has only returned 1 kickoff this season and it was the LAST kickoff by msu.
Go Blue!

I believe in every situation of hesitation, it’s been Ambry, at least from memory.

Should be DPJ and Ambry Thomas.
October 13th, 2017 at 3:30 AM ^
Maybe they want DPJ to strictly focus on catching punts during special teams skills periods. Didn't Lloyd Darr say something about it being the most difficult skill in football?, And let one of the other returners deal with KOR. Especially since with this defense, you would expect to more punts and have very few kickoffs to return in a game.

Whats left is a comparatively slow and unexplosive team.
You need your fastest and most sure-handed players returning kicks.
I would think this is Chris Evans and DPJ.
These are really the only two players with game demonstrated take-it-to-the-house explosiveness, cuts and separation speed.
But I am no coach and Im not privy to the goings on in practice. Im operating off the assumption that Crawford has probably already returned 12 kickoffs for TDs in practice.
Got to trust the coaches folks.
