Melton at Punt Returner

I don't think he ever lost one, but I may be wrong.

Hmm, I thought Tyler did lose one earlier this year but I looked it up: he caught it but fumbled while trying to return it for 7 yards in the BC game.

Don't remember any other occasions where our punt return team turned it over.
 
There are times when return men need to wait for a block and a seam to open. But, when it does, they have to have a great burst to daylight. I don't see that burst with Melton nor on any of our kickoff returns.

I wish our punt returners had more of a Kelly Rhino mentality. He refused to call for a fair catch, and his returns were always exciting.

Rhino also benefited greatly from the "halo" rule that has since been changed.
 
Good point GT98.

I am all for Melton (it would appear CPJ is as well), but I would like to see lil Wright in an open field.

Can't wait for Sat, and to see how they like death in their own valley.

Please do not interject logic into my belief that Kelly Rhino was the world's great punt returner.

Special teams have been Corky, life goes on special this year.
 
im just wish our returner from last year is hurt. he would be fine back there. no turn overs. but i would LOVE to see little marcus back there i think he could do some special things back there.
 
We could have Devin Hester back there and it wouldn't make any difference, because we can't block anybody. Melton never has anywhere to run.
