    We need explosion on this team. I know it, you know it, your mother knows it. Especially in the wide receiver core and on special teams.

    Mariani is fun to have back and all, but do you think he'll ever take one to the house?

    De'anthony Thomas meanwhile is languishing on the Chiefs bench behind newcomer Tyreek Hill who ran a kickoff back 105 yards on Sunday. He aint goin' nowhere. Inactive for the past two weeks, De'anthony Thomas could bring an explosive player to our Special teams and wide receiver core and could likely be had for cheap. Most didn't even think he'd make their 53 man roster!

    The Titans started drives inside the 10 yard line three times last week. THREE TIMES! Imagine if we had De'anthony Thomas running those kicks back?

    So Thomas would have returned 2 for TDs that would have both been called back for holding and then he would have actually fielded a punt inside the 10 yd line which is a no-no and returned it for a TD.

    Our bad field position had nothing to do with Mariani. I'd have no problems getting Thomas but to say he could have changed things against the Lions is wrong.

    Personally I don't think we should ever return a KO out of the endzone. The odds of returning it past the 25 are slim and it opens you up to have penalties and put yourself in a hole.

    No.
    DAT is an amazing player who can juke a guy out of his shoes.
    But he'll never be another Sproles or Austin. He lacks heart or guts or fortitude (whatever you want to call it).
    That's why he spent the last six games of 2015 out, even though he passed concussion protocols after a week or two.
    What's going on with De'Anthony Thomas' mystery absence? - Arrowhead Pride

    He did much the same thing in college after a high ankle sprain. He had every excuse in the book for skipping practices and not playing, or playing poorly.

    For a guy who is so explosive, he's only scored four TDs in 22 games.

    I'll never understand how the board collectively latches on to a random opposing player.

    Same way we latch on to late round draft picks.

    It is Tretola right now. It was mister irrelevant for a while until he was cut lol.

    Some of it for me is entertainment value . I know the best entertainment is winning but it's also fun to have explosive and exciting playmakers or "potential" playmakers lol. I know I know that word potential . In the midst of a dismal season last year I did njoy the Mariota and DGB highlights.

    He's a kick returner bro. Has Mariani scored 4 TD's in his last 22 games? It would be an incredibly fun to watch upgrade IMO. We don't need him for TD's. We need him for field position.
