They should have Gervon hitting that sled by imitating / copying Booker's moves for 15 minutes everyday at practice.... AND let Austin improvise and use his full repertoire during those 15 minutes
I know your post is about punt returns, but Sayers actually owns the NFL record for career kickoff return average. I'm going from memory here, but it was like 33 yards a return. Incidentally KR average is one of the ways I assess how fast a guy is in game speed. If a guy averaged 25 or above in college, that's when it starts to get interesting.
T Smith bit hard on Rome's fake. Is that because 32 has to 'refine' his technique or that Rome is 'that' good. I say the latter applies
As a kid, every time Sayers got the ball, before that fateful 49er game, he was electrifying, just like Hester on returns
Sounds like Poles drove up the price.

with an extra game's stats to boot
The latter applies. He smoked that CB from Buffalo so bad all he could do was grab him and hold him. You could see on the replay just how easily he got into and out of his break.
Sayers still holds the record for average yards per return as a punt returner for the Bears 14.9 to Hester's 12.8.
Hester was boom or bust. Lost in the Hester highlights on youtube is the fact that he could be incredibly frustrating a returner. Lots of fumbles and running backwards resulting in tackles for a loss. Hell, pretty sure he had two fumbles in the famous cardinals "crown their ass" game alone.
And we got them both for 4-5 years growing and learning together
@Black Rainbow thoughts?
Fact check: not true.
Well he shouldn't be having goals of 8 sacks and 15 TFL if he was being coached gap control. He didn't look great in those plays besides two of them but again this is just preseason and we don't know what the coaches are trying or not trying to show in these games so i'm hoping he'll be putting pressure on the QB in regular season games like you should expect from your 3T.
Think Rome just got him on that play. He did get him good though.
The good news is however he looked, I'm sure every bad play he's seen over and over again and been coached about lol.
