Pettis just muffed a punt this preseason and averages 6.6 on punt returns. He is a garbage punt returner. Just better hands.
But yes assume VJJ has to either be the KR or excel as a gunner to stick assume he doesnt return punts.
I think Velus makes the roster, mostly because he is the best KR on the team. I think if they got desperate enough to need him to take significant snaps at wr, they could find a better option in FA or on their PS in no time.VJJ has only been playing RB for a couple weeks and has shown some ability and SPEED kills. I think he has shown enough capability as a 4th RB combined with the thought that keeping him on the roster effectively adds an additional active roster player since he can play multiple positions, RB/WR/ST, when injuries occur.
Because i was replying to someone else who was talking about what he's built. Now you????
Please go away now.
Hmmm maybe. I am not yet sure he's the best kick returner. But my guess is we'll know a little more after tomorrow evening.I think Velus makes the roster, mostly because he is the best KR on the team.

How can you be the best KR on the team if you can’t be trusted to catch the ball? He already muffed one so far in the pre-season. It would not surprise me one bit if a VJJ muffed kick comes back to haunt the Bears this season.
same. I could see him being cut during the season if he's still fumbling, muffing punts and tackling himself.I'd be shocked if velus isn't on the roster after initial cuts
Yeah I mean it's a good thing he doesn't play in a place nicknamed the Windy City...Think there was talk of how windy it was that day. Cant remember whether it was the announcers or Hard Knocks that said it.
Biggs said that him and Tyler Scott had a miscommunication on that play. He also has never fumbled a KR in a real gameThink there was talk of how windy it was that day. Cant remember whether it was the announcers or Hard Knocks that said it.
It's not called the windy city because of weather fyiYeah I mean it's a good thing he doesn't play in a place nicknamed the Windy City...
Oh wait...

Ok and I responded to you on the same basis. You acted like Pace was the GM so I pointed out his many failures as GM. You are praising an Atlanta team that has not proven to be any better than the Bears at this point and has as many queastions marks as we do if not more.

It won’t be the only windy day and VJJ doesn’t exactly have a good track record catching the ball. I think you have to be out of your mind to trust him.
On punts sure. Never had a problem on kickoffs. I guess per @bamainatlanta Biggs said there was miscommunication with Scott.
Stats and history is great pal but it's pretty fucking windy by the lake in the winterChicago isnt called the Windy city because of its politicians. It isnt even in the top 10 of windiest cities in the US.

Planning to move somewhere new? If so, weather is likely a big factor. To help, check out our list of the 10 windiest cities in the U.S.www.redfin.com
The name comes from the fact that back in the 19th century its politicians/citizens were considered full of hot air by other midwestern states so people started referring to Chicago as the Windy City as a result.
