De'Mornay Pierson-El

I think this guy has big play potential. I think we need to make a wingback spot for him as a running back/wide receiver running trap plays and reverses out of the backfield to go along with his role as being a developing wide receiver as this season goes along. Nobody said it on here yet, but I thought this long ago after the Florida Atlantic game.

He's another Irving Fryar, Anthony Steels, or Johnny Rodgers, and I suggest that we make such a role available to this scatback! Man, he can run!!! He could bust some big plays in that backfield along with Ameer Abdullah, Imani Cross, and Tommy Armstrong! He's an exciting play-maker!!!

 
This guy is good, but the play at the line of scrimmage on punt returns is absolutely dominating at times. Nothing more black-white between last season and this season than right there. At one point they put half the Fresno team on the turf seconds after the snap. Pretty hard to pressure the return guy when you're laying on the ground. Finally!!

This x 1000!

On both of his big returns it looked like everyone was trying to turn or push their guys to short side of the field. Either way, engaging the coverage guys all the way down the field is giving him a nice cushion to catch the ball and try to make a couple moves.

Yes. I have no idea what they were trying last season - but thank God we got it figured out now. Still early, but I think we can say that now. And the best part of it all is that they are looking better and better each week. This is, IMO, the most improved position group since game 1 - and I thought they looked pretty solid in game 1 (maybe slightly skewed because I was comparing it to last season). I never thought going into this season I'd be able to consider our punt return unit a strength, but it's going to be. Even without a return, the field position alone is worth 6-7 points a game and an extra win.

Sorry for the crappy quality - couldn't get it to clean up any more than this. But another great thing about DPE's TD was Kieron Williams and Josh Kalu escorting him in. Three true freshmen leading the way.
