    Darion Gordon in the Bobby Ross years was really good. We had Metcalf for the 1997 season, he has three punts for a TD that year.

        Sproles and before him was Darrien Gordon (PR) / Andre Coleman (KR) from the Bobby Ross era.

          Does TT get any love from the TT haters?

          Andre may be a little long in the tooth. But he still has that burst. I love his first cuts, He really sets it up by a hard cut. It's interesting how some players were just not cut out to return kicks but others seem to excel at it.

            No, no he does not. They will always be glass half full people. I do understand peoples frustrations, but to say he has been a colossal failure is a bit of a stretch

              Desmond King was a pretty good punt returner.

                Roberts knows he needs to wait until his blocks set up and that's when he makes that first cut. It eliminates half the field at that point.
                If the blocks are sustained for even a half second, that's all it takes for him to see the lanes. They look huge at that moment and
                he has his route pretty much mapped out.

                In his KR for a TD this past week you can see how he let it unfold.
                There's more to returning kicks than just catching and hoping everyone is blocking.

                I'm sure that he learned this in his previous stops and just brought the knowledge with him.
                BOLT UP!

                  Its all in the vision. There are lots of fast kick returners that do not do well. The vision, almost like a spider sense for where the holes will develop and seeing things before they happen. That is what makes a return man special.

                    just like a RB with vision and can see a hole right before it opens up and hits it perfectly.

                      Andre Roberts just highlights the lack of talent gathered for this team. Special Teams sucked before this guy came in.

                        Why so late after 9 years? why can't he find talent on his own? this guy was released... he didnt found him.

                          I get your thought line now, if TT signs a guy that does well it's because he fell into our laps. If they don't turn out to be great players it's proof positive that TT sucks.
