Our new Punt returner

[I4Jay]

:w00t:
who here isnt excited about seeing Janzen back there? I think thats the most exciting news Ive read this spring.
How Long has it been since we had a real threat back there returning kicks?

I hope the boy does Numbers!!!!! :yes:

 

[UTVOLS107]

I think Janzen will do great returning punts, but it does risk injury though.

 

[EricberryFAN]

Cool.

 

[ole_orange]

Can OKu not return?

 

[codyg10]

Bad choice he is too much of a factor on defense to be running punts back I think it will be either Dixon or maybe s back up DB

 

[Burhead]

Confirmed or speculation? I don't like risking star players on special teams...

 

[VolFromNashville]

Hm I like it. Although I thought Raijon Neal could also be a good candidate for the position. But I am no coach. Janzen could be a real impact player for us now, on both Defense and Offense.

Just saying, Rod Wilks sure carved up my high school football team returning punts in the 5A Title game a few years ago.

 

[Volfootball55]

If this is confirmed I don't see this lasting into the season. He is to valuable, we have a wealth of other players who could contribute at this position. Meline, Rogers, Oku, Hunter etc. etc.

it sure hurt Alabama to have their best DB running back Punts for 4 yrs. :ermm:

Terry Fair, Dale Carter, anyone? :question:

 

[chavisut]

eh

There is a small difference between Ravenwood HS and SEC defenses. Wilkes has always been slow, even at the HS level. *Ducks for cover from the Rod lightning bolt*

 

[Kingston Vol]

I think there are better options.

 

[EricberryFAN]

Id like to see what Hunter can do and other's to make sure this is the right guy first tho.

 

[BigOrangePassion1]

Gerald Jones.. He was electric back their before he got hurt in 08. His punt returning was our best offense.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

Hunter would be a poor choice for PR.

Justin Hunter is to lanky, he would take a beating.

 

[ooltewahvol]

Ted Meline or Teague for me please

 

[EricberryFAN]

Justin Hunter is to lanky, he would take a beating.

Ahh yea that's true. Didn't really think bout that

not to get the Rod for God crowd started, but he seemed like a threat coming out the 'Boro.

 

[I4Jay]

ahhh perfect timeing, im watching ESPN Classic and Terry Fair just broke a PR and gave Peyton a short field for a quick 6... *when they reminisce over you...* :rock:

 

[VolsCigarMan]

I thought Eric Gordon DB was a outstanding PR in high school?

You are right, check the UTube on Dixon he will be one of the major ST treats next year...he may do both kickoffs and punt returns...:dance2:

You can't judge how good a returner a guy is by how quick he is. The most athletic guy is not always the best returner. If you find someone as athletic as Jackson and they have the KR intangibles you wind up with something explosive. However, there have been plenty of guys with blistering speed that couldn't get it done retunring kicks (as when the Titans tried with Chris Johnson - in practice - and it wasn't going to work).


You just have to put them in there and see how they do but JJ sounds like a great pick.
