I know JD dropped that one against South Alabama but all in all, he has great hands. I don't disagree with you. With that being said, seeing what kind of athlete Wan'Dale is, I would be shocked if the kid wasn't able to excel at returning punts. 1 Quote Link to comment

I love JD, but he doesn't have the same violent side step or the same explosiveness that Wan'Dale has. Just to clarify, I love me some JD, he is a smooth athlete, but Wan'Dale is freaky in space. 5 minutes ago, Undone said: Until we have a little better margins with better stability on both sides of the ball, I think I'd rather have a guy with sure hands back there.

He already has a TD return this year and is ranked 11th for average return yards. We aren't talking about putting Santino Panico back there. JD is one of the best returners in the country. Why mess with that? 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Why mess with that? I'm not trying to start a heated debate on this, I am totally fine with JD returning punts. My humble opinion is that Wan'Dale has a different kind of running skill that would benefit a punt returner. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

So, I am guessing it's like Undone said, maybe he isn't sure handed fielding them. I do agree though that Wan'dale would be electric as a PR. Priority #1 is fielding it though. 1 Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Wan'dale Robinson in space. A beautiful sight. Except for opposing teams. Then it's a nightmare. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 He's a dynamic shifty runner but what really stands out is how fast he runs when he sees an opening. When he gets running room he flies and does it without fear. When I see that I cringe and think someone is going to splatter him but he doesn't. I think how fast he runs takes a lot of would be tacklers by surprise and he blows right past them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

He trucked some defenders tonight though. 2 Quote Link to comment

Ya that may pay dividends against bigger DL down the stretch this year. Quote Link to comment

Martinez deserves credit for that W also but Wan'Dale definitely stepped up big time and played tougher than I was expecting as well. 2 Quote Link to comment
Ulty Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I was most impressed with Robinson’s toughness. Didn’t seem like a 190 lb freshman at all. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
