Very stupid rule, IMO. Who does it serve?

They are worried about teams faking or exaggerating injures to hide players on their roster so they don't have to release them.

Too much risk for a guy who's been injured. I think they'll stick with Parker until some later time. Just a guess.

why chance something freaky on special teams?

than getting hurt.

i would hope they learned you dont risk a high first round guy you want to be a key player for you running back kicks
there is plenty of guys on the roster and FA you can sign for that

Tell that to Percy Harvin and Devin Hester and D Jax

has had zero practice with the offense.

If you want him to make an impact in the last 12 games, being a returner is the quickest way.

The hamstring is a set of muscles, not a joint.
Hips, knees ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and finger and toe knuckles are joints.
Not to mention where I hang out on weekends.

It's going on 20 years, and yeah, it was horrible, but folks gotta get a grip.

I thought he was practicing
this week. ..if he doesn't
tc wont let him play...
I'll bet eli throws to him
and he runs wrong route
and INT

harvin has never finished a full season and has a huge concussion problem the bears cut devin hester because the doctors said he was done due to injury/concussions and djax is a head case they got for free because he is a problem and mixed up wuth gang types the eagles under kelly couldnt overlook the way reid did

Julian Edelman, Randall Cobb, etc. Harvin was never injured returning a kick, he was injured as a WR/RB, so your point you think he made for you is reversed.

getting blown up returning a punt. I was at the Giant Jet game when Sehorn blew out his knee. It could happen at anytime , but you can't obssess over it. You have a guy that can change field position you use him.

Not one iota

You don't make up 2-3 months of missed practices in one week.

He is so far behind it's not even funny.

What would Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, Antonio Brown, Golden Tate, TY Hilton, Percy Harvin, Desean Jackson and Jacoby Jones think about a full time player returning punts...

What are the Giants thinking.. dont they know you dont put top quality full time starters on punt return duty !!!!!

OMG he might pull a vaginal muscle !!!!!

Will keep him out even longer than the hammy. Gotta be careful.

Actually, he should be more wary of the labia minora, those are a bitch to get a full stretch going during rehab

we put David WIlson back there when he was rookie
and he did a pretty good job

also in modern NFL a returners job is pretty much now
taking a knee or watching the ball fly over your head out of the endzone

It's so common for first-round picks to return punts and/or kickoffs that there's not much to discuss. Tavon Austin was the #8 pick last year. Fisher had him returning punts right from Week 1, and he was already an important part of the Rams' offense.

Yes, Jason Sehorn, Jason Sehorn, Jason Sehorn. We get it. Now get over it.

Steve Smith seemed to catch up pretty quickly. It's simple, if Beckham is a good player he'll get open.

at all in preseason. That's a tough job going in cold.

... that was a completely different situation. He hurt his shoulder against Green Bay in Week 2, after catching three passes in the opener.

That was TC's stated hope for OBJ ... His college career is full of spectacular PRs ... He has great field vision, quick acceleration and can change speed and angles on a dime ...
While he waits and learns the patterns and timing ... he can be a great contributor ... and like you point out ... it's quite common ...

I've seen one great return, against Ole Miss. On his other TD, the North Texas coverage unit looked like eleven Duke Calhouns. I know stats lie, but if Beckham were the second coming of Devin Hester, wouldn't you expect more than a 9.3-yard career average on a team that physically dominated most of its opponents? Consider his predecessors in the role. Patrick Peterson averaged 16.1 in 2010. Tyrann Mathieu averaged 15.6 in 2011.

Beckham also returned a missed FG 109 yards for a TD against UAB. Those opportunities are rare in the NFL, especially now that Jay Feely is out of the League.

I don't see a problem with Beckham returning punts. It just doesn't seem to be a big deal either way, especially with the blocking Quinn's units provide.

BBB, enjoy this video and find the answer to your question. Beckham finds the end zone on punt returns twice in a row.

The return where Landry got flagged for an illegal block was pretty good. The one that counted was basically an uncontested sprint.

When LSU opens its season at home against a non-conference cupcake that goes on to finish 4-8 with blowout losses to Middle Tennessee, Arkansas State and Louisiana-Monroe, I think you have to take the highlights with a grain of salt.

sunday :)
