HuskerBob4 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I am probably one of the biggest fans of Abdullah out there and love his game-changing ability, but with Rex's knee and lack of experience behind Ameer, can we please stop putting him back as a returner! Let's get one of our talented WRs back there and let them get an extra 3-5 touches per week. What do you guys think??? 2 Quote Link to comment

Branno Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I liked seeing K Bell back there, if it wasn't for the fumble at least. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I agree. Would hate to see AA get hurt on KO or punt duties with the injuries to Rex. Lately, our ST play has been horrible. No reason to get AA hurt for our crappy play (or any Husker). How about Heard, Marlowe or some of the other receivers? Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I am not worried about a dynamic returner at this point. Put a guy back there that will catch the damn ball. I think Marlowe would be a good candidate, he has been solid although not spectacular in the return game in his career. Quote Link to comment
Branno Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Is Marlowe back yet? Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Is Marlowe back yet? He had at least one catch Saturday. Quote Link to comment

I think Marlowe would be a good candidate, he has been solid although not spectacular in the return game in his career. If we had the 2009 D, I would lean that way, but we need game-changers to help flip the field and take some pressure off the O! We seem to always have horrendous starting field position...wish I could find stats to back it up... Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Marlowe was in on several plays Saturday. But I'd like to see what Turner could do back there. He's the most electric and elusive runner we have. Even more so than Abdulah. 3 Quote Link to comment

The problem is they can't go out there and show off when our special teams gives the ball back to the other team with the defense gets off the field. I would of gladly lost 10 yards of field position every punt against Northwestern instead of those two fumbles. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 As bad as we have been, bring back a Santino Panico type player! Just catch the ball baby. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I say put Enunwa back there! He will just truck all the way down the field lol. Tarriq Allen would be a good fit on Special Teams, and like stated before, Marlowe. I would even say to put Janovich back there Lol Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 We need to get our real athletes on special teams, and leave Abdullah returning punts..... Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Please...let Turner get the ball more. Quote Link to comment
