There's some rumblings on Fox sports about us putting Watkins on kick and punt returns. If they put what some may call our future franchise player on special teams and he gets hurt, I'm going to go nuts. I would not risk losing what is supposed to be your number one receiver, game changing playmaker, the player you count on to redefine your offense, for the sake of kick returns. If Marrone does this and he gets hurt, he'll be in my Moron book forever. I hope this coaching staff is not this stupid. Then again, history shows you never know with this team.

Re: Watkins on Special Teams?
What's the difference between making a big play on offense or making a big play on special teams? It's just another play and another chance to help your team. Isn't it kind of important to get the ball in the hands of your best play makers?Comment

Re: Watkins on Special Teams?
He returned kicks his first 2 years and returned one his rookie season for 97 yards. But that was a different time and he wasn't ready to start yet. The Bills have many other candidates they could use instead.Originally posted by MST3KBillsfan View PostComment

Re: Watkins on Special Teams?
Deion Sanders had over 200 punt returns and 150 kickoff returns and I'm pretty sure he never had a major injury in doing so. The percentage of injuries on ST is higher, but I believe that the majority are to the players blocking and tackling. It's not unusual for a "star player" to play on special teams. Look at players like Dez Bryant, DeSean Jackson, Percy Harvin, etc. Would Marrone be a fool, or a coach that is going to do what it takes to win ?Originally posted by Turf View PostLast edited by kishoph; 05-19-2014, 06:59 PM.Comment

Re: Watkins on Special Teams?
We've had Spiller and McKelvin returning kicks, and they were both Top 15 picks. Hell, they'd have sent Dareus to return kicks if they could. This team is obsessed with kick returns.

Re: Watkins on Special Teams?
yeah i dont see any problem at all with watkins easing into the nfl by returning kicks. assuming bearded black williams earns even moderate confidence from the coaches, he and woods are going to get more plays per game than watkins early in the season anyway. no reason why watkins cant make plays as a returner and spot wr for the first quarter of the season and work his way into the offense from thereOne set of rules for all in the beloved communityComment
