SPECIAL TEAMS KICK RETURNERS

Spencer George.

 

Sankey is about as dangerous a return man as Michael Griffin is a head hunter.

Makes no sense.

 

Titans special teams has been bad on both sides for a while now. I dont remember his name, but it seems it all went down hill after firing a long time special teams coach several years ago.

McCluster can't make people miss and it seems like coverage is on top of him as soon as he catches it.

Sankey...well I don't really know because I think he's only actually returned 1 kickoff. The rest have been touchbacks.

 

Alan Lowry.

He was pretty ordinary for a time as well. Then his last season (I think) was pretty good. Then he got sacked.

 

Yep, that's him. Seems like they had a decent return game and coverage team for a while. Better than now anyway. Could have been the players too. I was just pointing out it seemed to go downhill around the time Lowry was fired.

I can't remember the last time the Titans had a kick or punt return for a TD. And i think they give up a return at least every other game. Lol

 

for whatever reason the Titans do not use their best players as PR/KR

Mason was quite good PR/KR guy had an awesome 2000 became a starter and returned 93 kicks for well above league average yardage. So of course the Titans stopped using a weapon cause of some stupid reason. If a PR/KR guy gets hurt then they get hurt. Have to make plays when the chance is there to do so.


Kendall Wright would probably be a pretty real good PR guy. Possibly KR as well. We will never know...

 

Either way we need to find a long time solution to getting a dynamic player at this position that can flip the field. This was on full display at the Browns game. Even when we did a good job stopping them, Benjamin was able to flip the field on us. The NFL is a field position game, we have to get better here for sure (especially with a mediocre offense).

As far as the last good KR/PR we had. It definitely was Pac-Man (Make it Rain) Jones! That dude was dynamic back there!!! We need some of that on this team minus the off field crap..l

 

well he did tend to run backwards occasionally....

 

Only having 4 WRs probably factors in to that... But I'm with you, put the best man in and let him make plays. Field position is important...so why be scared to put a good player out there?

I'd say McCluster would be better at KR as he can be elusive in the opefield.ld

 

Sankey is a scrub
