Then you look at players like Drake London succeeding. [Reply]
Mecole is in his 3rd or 4th year he shouldn't be having the issues that he does. Skyy is only 7 games in and I just listened to Reid's press conference and he said it was learning experience for him and that he went a little high on his route. Said Pat trust's him and they worked it out on the sideline. [Reply]

IIRC he never did punt duties in college. I read that multiple times on Twitter.
If that’s true then it’s easy to see why he’s struggling there [Reply]

His game changing plays are pretty much all punt returns. He should never be on punt duty again in his career. If he can't understand that trying to make an ankle high catch is a bad decision then stop putting him in the position to make that decision over and over. [Reply]
I don't think he's a bust and he'll get better but I do think he shouldn't be returning kicks. But I think Reid likes to have rookies return kicks and then slowly get more touches. I can't imagine that being asked to return kicks is helping his confidence though [Reply]

It's absolutely all at the feet of Toub at this point. The Colts game should've put an end to it. He muffed it inside the 10 on that silly inches from the ground crap he thinks is a good idea for some reason, then was so scared to even field the next punt that it ends up getting downed at the 1. Maybe I'd get it if his college career had a nice resume of punt/kick return work, but there were 3 times total he tried it in college. It's been quite obvious that it's not the job for him for a while now. [Reply]

He made the Pro Bowl his rookie season as a returner, in case anyone forgot. [Reply]

Save for the INT which ultimately resulted in a TD today I’d kind of maybe agree.
Dude is screaming to coaches that he has the yips and should not be returning punts, which is an admission of can’t doing something which apparently suck ass Hardman can do.
He sucks right now. It’s okay to admit. He’s a rook, he has time. He’s from a pimple on the ass of college football.
I belief he’ll get there but it looks rough right now. [Reply]
He's already getting separation on his routes, which is a bit surprising given the jump from Bumblefuck University to the NFL. Once he's on the same page as Mahomes he'll be fine. [Reply]
