July 23, 20195 yr comment_410450 There is also the ability to read how the blocking is developing in front and anticipating where the holes might be. I recall a BC player named Rocky Long who came into camp as a quarterback hopeful but had to sub as a kick returner when the usual one got hurt. Long wasn't fast but his spidey sense allowed him to be a darned good returner. Quote

I would probably rather have someone quick than fast. Charles Robert's was never fast, but man was he quick and he got a lot of yards because of it. I actually liked Walker returning punts... May not break a game open with the way he returns the ball, but really consistently gets you a solid 10-20 yards off every punt and catches em all in the air.
July 23, 20195 yr comment_410472 the one thing Walker did really well was go north south.....not a lot of jerking around and going backwards.

July 23, 20195 yr comment_410493 Walker was pretty good on punts IMO...first CFL game too. Smart and could see potential for explosiveness.

I should clarify, yes I liked his punt returning, I was just let down by the speed cause I was expecting to see it showcased with all the talk.

Especially in the cfl. In years prior we heavily recruited extremely fast athletic defenders. But more lanky wrs with good speed then speedsters. Ill take speed/quicks over size every day of the week.
July 24, 20195 yr comment_410514 Grant had pretty good results in pre-season for the ticats. 1 punt return for 14 yards and 5 kickoff returns for 120 yards. Lets hope he kept his playbook.

July 24, 20195 yr comment_410550 10 years later and a different stadium but my tickets are still near the players families. This memory popped up on Facebook today and gave me a chuckle... "is glad that it's Shabazz's family that sits in front of us not LeFors'. No child should have to listen to people say those things about their father."

July 24, 20195 yr comment_410555 So I just finished watching CFL wired...WTF was that? Anyone else watch it? Jefferson was mic'd...but didnt even get shown once. The entire bomber ott game was focused on Ottawas punter!! Punter?? Wtf? Jefferson must of had some good lines? Even if they were going to focus on an Ottawa player, why the punter??
July 24, 20195 yr comment_410556 Maybe all of Jefferson's line is full of F*** so instead of bleeping all of it, they just cut off all his part. Edited July 24, 20195 yr by M.O.A.B.

I heard that Jefferson was quite animated in the way he expressed concern to the ref about having the Ottawa player's puke cleaned up off the field. I don't recall hearing any of it during the game but that would probably be funny as hell to hear.
July 24, 20195 yr comment_410581 That was disgusting to me to say the least. I saw it happen at least twice and the guy next to me said it happened three times. He was still a hell of a good back though lol!
