Dcskins71 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What does everyone here think about the possibility of Marques Hagans making this squad primarily as a punt returner. Being a UVA fan i know that he was a pretty darn good returner at UVA... So i believe if he can make this team he can solve our problems at punt returner...What do you all think?

Laxpunk2006 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 He would have to be a fantastic returner to make the team strictly in that role. I don't think we'll carry more than 5 WR's this year and at least one of them needs to be a ST guy. Malcolm definitely won't be gunning as it's hard enough to keep him healthy and ARE and SM won't be either as starters and part time returners. I doubt we see DT in that role either as the coaches are going to want to keep him focused on WR in hopes he can get some actual PT. In my opinion it's either Thrash again or a younger version that can play on all of the ST units. Now honestly I've never seen Hagans play so maybe he is that good of a returner. At the same time, due to the fact that I've not once seem him play college or pro, I assume he wasn't cranking out highlight reel returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If only Royal was drafted last year by the Redskins. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicyJ Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I think Anthony Alridge or Dominique Dorsey have a better chance at filling that position~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emor09 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 i'd go Thrash throughout the game and Santana when the games on the line and when they are punting from inside their 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnb123 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If only Royal was drafted last year by the Redskins. :doh: People would have complained mercilessly about getting another shrimp receiver, and he would have definitely not had anywhere near the production he did there.

RenegadeTK Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 i still think we should give Deangelo a go and see what he can do, rather than have a roster spot just for a STer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 People would have complained mercilessly about getting another shrimp receiver, and he would have definitely not had anywhere near the production he did there. He would have been deep threat No.2 and would have beaten out Randle El, who is on par with Stokley in Denver, if maybe slightly better. Moss would not have been blanketed with double-coverage.

lavarisgone Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I say take a flyer on Marcus Thigpen(Indiana)or Chris Williams(New Mexico St.) they will be there in the seventh round or sign one as a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXX99 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I think we should give Thomas, Hall, or Cartwright a turn at returning punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veretax Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Call me crazy, but I'm expecting Thrash to get his walking papers this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sick Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Call me crazy, but I'm expecting Thrash to get his walking papers this year. If Thrash leaves, our special teams would go to pot! He is the only thing holding it together. He makes plays that you regular football watchers don't appreciate... Also, How would we survive without Thrash's blocking on run plays? Oh, wait. I don't believe any of that. He should've been cut two years ago. I like the idea of putting someone new back there for punts. No to D-Hall or Moss, though, unless the game is on the line... Not sure if Hagans is dynamic enough to keep just for his punt return skills, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxpunk2006 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Call me crazy, but I'm expecting Thrash to get his walking papers this year. I'd expect that in 2010 unless we wind up with a ST ace late in the draft. With a full set of picks next year we can afford to blow one on a late round WR to groom/play teams. This year we don't have that luxury and we don't seem to have someone that can step into that role. Remember we haven't resigned Khary Campbell who is always one of our ST leaders and Rock Cartwright could be fighting for a roster spot if Dorsey/Aldridge light it up as returners or we address RB in the draft. I'd love Kassim Osgood from San Diego but we can't afford to give up any of our picks in a trade this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
