Devrin Young Bashers - Bash This

[volmoon]

Devrin is considered 4th in the SEC as a kick returner. I for one didn't realize he was fifth in Tennessee history with 1,575 career total kick and punt return yards.

Thx Woodsman...
In had no idea he had raked up that many yds returning. Go DY!

 

[Peytons forehead]

I have always said devrin was the perfect height to play RB. Not to tall.

 

[utvolpj]

Lots of kick returns means the opponent is likely scoring a bunch. Not knocking DY but he's had a lot of touches

 

[Biopsyman]

Nice! I didn't realize that either. A healthy Devrin Young should make a few house calls this year!

Grass tackler

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I don't ever remember him fumbling and I hope I never do!!! knock on wood...

AAAWWWWWW Shucks! You remembered our encounter.

An Unfortunate truth.

This!

His averages may not be great but he is dependable.

just means our defense gave up a lot of scores if he is returning lots of kicks!

Exactly. No one is kicking away from Devrin. No one is avoiding him during the game. Some of these folks act like we don't watch the game.

I can agree with you he is very dependable.

Solid but unspectacular

Maybe in the grass cutter or pee wees. I'll take jalen Hurd.

I Bashed him and all I got was a command not found.

 

[BennisDrewer]

I didn't know anyone bashed on Young...He's a solid player and does what is asked of him.

I will be interested to see how much his numbers improve with better athletes blocking for him on kicks. That is one area where pure athleticism makes a difference pretty much right away without respect to experience.

He'll be replaced with a better athlete. So his numbers will not improve at all.

I'm a big Devrin fan always root a little harder for the hometown guys

Welcome to VN :hi:

More than likely not. Young is a very good athlete and has measureables very similar to some of the best returners. His strength is something that is difficult to capitalize on without good blocking- change of direction.

CP spoiled me. We need a superior athlete back there. DY has never been a threat to take one back. If someone can catch the ball and is better at it but them back there.

 

[Quaint88]

This is exactly what I was thinking. There were a handful of times DY was so close to breaking one last season. Holding blocks for just a little longer should be all he needs. He has the rest.

Nice article. I was wondering about the stats for returning kicks. The missed field goal in the Iron Bowl that was returned for a touch down, how is the listed? It's not a punt or kickoff return and I can't find a missed field goal return stat anywhere. Just wondering.

I believe it is actually considered a "Change of possession"
Because it was not blocked. Which would make it punt return, like a pooch punt.

When the ball is in the air I just get a feeling he is going to drop it, or when he starts running a sick feeling like something bad fixing to happen.
