Jr.

[armonte]

Watched the Delaware game and appears like he might have some chances at kickoff returns.
Hens have 2 kickers they use but 2 kickoffs didn't reach the 5.

NOT INJURED!!!!

Agreed.

Hiding him in plain sight.

NOT INJURED!!!!

Agreed.

So I guess the rules are just out the f^%king window?

You need to get Band for this!

Per Marty Mornhinweg during our game against our Rivals, when they had scored to open the second half, but then kicked to Junior Bergen who returned it past mid-field: "Don't kick it to Junior Bergen. It's just that simple!"

Wind is expected to be 10-20 mph. Kicking into that could be a bitch.
Of course if our D shows up they may only have 1 or 2 KOs all game.

I am expecting plenty of squibs and pooch kicks.

Hopefully that’s means a lot of Delaware punts. Line drives preferably.

I'm expecting a lot of Delaware punts. But Junior is definitely more dangerous when he has room to maneuver and that's on KOs. I expect them to punt out of bounds when punting into the wind and maybe with the wind as well.

Absolutely. I hope all their punts are butt ugly.

He is very dangerous in both facets, but I would argue the opposite if I had to pick one because the coverage team has to spread out from a tight formation to cover the whole width of the field on a punt and are usually ahead of the ball and blind to the direction it is going in the field other than watching where the returner is moving. Also punts tend to have less consistent hangtime and distance which means the returner can come in on a run where you might have to come to a stop in coverage to prevent running into him. We've seen that Junior can field off of line drives and bounces and move into space in the field or gaps in coverage quickly on punts. Also, much easier for our team to line up a return and get numbers with the return team on one side of the field.

For the sake of argument, lets just hope he has a KR and a PR this game.

maybe they'll outkick coverage when punting downwind...THAT is when Junior really thrives.
