    PFW: Bills hesistant to use Mckelvin as returner

    This makes no sense and I hope it isn't true because his skills as a dynamic special teams player is part of the reason why Leodis was projected to go so high.

      I don't have a problem with him focusing on defense first before delving into special teams play. IMO cornerback is a much bigger need right now than special teams.

        Right on, and welcome aboard. But, I do wonder how complicated a special teams play book can be.

          I dont believe you pay a guy 1st round money to risk being hurt on kick offs and punt returns.

          IMO there are 4th string WR's that are supposed to be used for that!

            But McKelvin has been compared to Devin Hester in terms of being a gamebreaker that is a threat to score a TD every time he returns a kick.

            We need to at least experiment with him in training camp.

              The dolfish drafted a kick returner with the #9 overall pick last year though.

                he needs to concentrate first on learning the position he was drafted for.The sooner he starts to get it, only then should he start learning the kick return game. Rookies are already overloaded with new info. No need to add more until they get it.

                We have the luxury thanks to Leodis' speech therapist, Parrish.

                  If those comparisons prove to be true I'll change my tune quick and I'm sure the Bills will too.

                    Yeah, we're really hurting with McGee fielding kickoffs and Parrish fielding punts.

                      Toss all 3 of them in there one short, one middle and one long and force our opposing teams to punt / kickoff out of bounds just out of fear.

                        "Catch the punt or kickoff, run down the field really fast. Score."

                        "Run down the field really fast, tackle the returner."

                        "Run down (or up) the field really fast. Block the first guy you see."
                        Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                          Maybe I am wrong but didn't Clements return punts and or kicks as a rookie? Either way I have no problem with him doing it or not as we have the depth at both positions.

                            That is what I figured.

                              With the emphasis the Bills place on special teams, I doubt this is true. If McKelvin beats Parrish or McGee for the one of the jobs, then it's his.
