I disagree with the article when it says we haven't had a suitable returner since David Palmer. A couple years back Koren Robinson made the pro bowl as a kick returner. Mewelde Moore has been a quality punt returner the last two years and he should keep that job this year.

I agree with you. I was wondering about Koren. He put up better numbers than Palmer.


Does MeMo remind you of Palmer? hehe. I think we need to put Memo in weird situations and see what he can do. He is such a weird player that seems to get big yards and is really productive.

I would love to line him up with another RB then before the play move him over to the slot and see him match up as a slot receiver. I think he could provide some skills and playmaking ability there.

He should be our key return guy. I would like a pure speed guy next to him. Maybe AA could do that.

I love Memo and I don't think we've ever used him enough. He's quick like Palmer was and breaks more tackles. He's not the receiver Palmer was, though.

I dunno. He has good hands otherwise he couldnt return. I think if we could spread things out and let MeMo wait in a spot it could be fruitful

I'm not saying Memo is bad receiver, he has good hands for a running back. It's just that Palmer was legitimate slot receiver, Memo is just a guy who's good at coming at the backfield. I think Memo is a better overall player.
