While we're talking it on it... after replaying some of his returns, the kid has an outstanding burst and really knows how to find/make a seam when there isn't one there. But his flat out speed is a little slower than desired? It always seems that as soon as he gets some room to run, the defenders start catching up... Any opinions?

He just took a bad angle on the last one. If he'd veered left I think he would have scored. But even if he is slower, I'm happy with us getting a kick return to the opponent's 30 yard line every time.

I'm not sure how/where his injury occurred, but DAMN did he get whipped into the ground by that guy tugging on the tops of his thigh-pads. Jesus I haven't seen someone pulled down like that in many a year.

My initial thought was he had the wind knocked out of him because he landed so hard.

yeah, he was whipped into the ground pretty violently. they both were going full speed.

I thought it looked like he was cramping up a bit again. I have a suspicion that it's a young guy thing. Anyone remember a first game of anything? Maybe your first game in high school, first varsity game, first game in college, whatever; usually that first time you need to be on your horse, you labor through it, trying to force your body to move faster than it can. It leads to almost a cramping/stiffening feeling. A lot of guys get over it quickly, but it looks to me like Ameer still gets excited when he hits that open field and tries to push it instead of moving naturally. Watch his TD and the return he got hurt on, as soon as he hits open field it looks the exact same, the movement starts to look labored. That'll change pretty quick as he should be getting used to the game.

That sounds like when I lost my virginity.

 

Just sayin.......
