Why was Reagor returning punts? Furthermore, why did he get another chance after the first botched return? I know there are other capable players on the roster that can field a punt.
I don’t remember him looking shaky last year either (that doesn’t mean anything) and he could of had three returns for a TDs and I would have the same questionDidn’t Reagor take over for Turp last year? Didn’t remember him looking that shaky. That was ... no bueno last night.
Well, he’s a weapon and a potential Maxwell Award winner — if he can catch punts and if we can throw to him (hint, hint, play Duggan). In Reagor’s defense (sort of) some of those punts were ugly looking and he looked eager to house one or two.
The word is they want Derius Davis to be the man as to not risk Reagor on dangerous duty. Have no clue why he took all the punts last especially after three muffs.
It's foolish to have Reagor doing Kickoffs and Punt returns. We are risking injury to our premier wideout - just silly actually on the offensive staff's part, but GP ok's it. so there's that. This whole offensive scheme is a mess.
I don’t get the “risking injury” thing. He’s our best offensive player and should be getting the ball as many times as possible during a game. I hope to god Purdue minimizes the injury risk to Rondale Moore next week by limiting his touches.
It's not about needing him to beat APB. If he's going to be your returner throughout the season then HE NEEDS THE WORK as we saw the other night. Hopefully he got the drops out of his system before the real games start.Well, we just agree to disagree on this subject. If we need Reagor on punt and kick off returns to beat APB, then yes,
Exactly. Saquan Barkley returned punts and kicks at Penn St. If Saquan Barkley isn't too good to return punts/kicks then neither is Reagor.I don’t get the “risking injury” thing.

I don’t think we should have him in at receiver either. Too great a risk to get hurt. It is much safer on the sidelines, as long as he pays attention to the plays coming at him.
Your best return player should be returning the ball. There are some Heisman winners who were their team's best receiver and returned the ball too.
However, if we have other good hands people with very good wiggle.... definitely good giving them some of the duty too.
How many fumbles or drops did he have while returning?Exactly. Saquan Barkley returned punts and kicks at Penn St. If Saquan Barkley isn't too good to return punts/kicks then neither is Reagor.

Logic AND Reason!?!? Keep that away from the board!JR is returning punts because GMFP wants him to. Period. He wants to see him catch those in a game. JR must be the Frogs best chance to score on punt return. I trust GMFP on all personnel decisions 100%. Perhaps he knows [ What the heck? ] he is doing. One day they will build a statue of him! The playbook was not open geniuses. The receivers didn’t block or catch. This gives GMFP something to yell at everyone about for 2 weeks which is exactly what is needed. He will say something like, “OK, I told you guys what to expect and how to do things and go about your business and there were all those colors of Gatorade for you to choose from but we did it your way. Now we’re going to do it my way” , and everyone will understand exactly what he means and kick the snot out of Purdue. You have to TAKE games on the road. GMFP will probably mention this to the team.
QB’s both showed that they are capable. If Max is the QB, Del will still come in and bust a big run at anytime. I can imagine both on the field at the same time. The team wasn’t up for Pine freaking Bluff. The opponent is lame, ACS was a mess. The O wasn’t sharp, but everything is correctable. FYI, Houston, we have a kicker. The Chicken Little’s on this site are what keeps it going, I guess.
