Devin Hester is trying out...Hester Signed!!!

157 posts in this topic

I'd still like for them to give Chris Moore some practice at kick returner for the future. Moore has the speed to excel there; he's probably going to be inactive quite often as the 5th or 6th WR, so adding return skills to his game could help him make the game-day active roster; he could be insurance for if Hester gets hurt or simply underperforms; and frankly, we need to look to the future at P/K returner anyway--there's no telling who will be returning punts and kicks for this team next year.

returners needs good decision making , good vision , more agility and acceleration rather then just pure speed.

guys with speed only make guaranteed good returners in madden.

real life they require a lil bit more then speed.

hester really wasn't the fastest but his ability to change direction and maintaining his speed paired with his good vision is what made him a good returner.

Hester will bring crucial 'decision-making' that will be even more important than ever with the 'new' kick-off rules. There will be more aggressive tactics use by every kicker to gain field advantages and/or completely throw-off inexperienced returners. Because of this, I'm glad our FO had the wisdom to try ensure that at the 'very' least we have a guy that's been there and done that at a high level (the best in history).

I'm not looking for Hester to run back kicks/punts for TDs this season (although that would be nice). I'm expecting that he doesn't make crucial mistakes and gives us reasonable field position. Everything else is...desert.

I think he might be able to get 2 in the endzone, we have had good ST blocking in the past.  But ill just take a good field position and be happy

Agreed. I'm thinking he'll get 2 or 3 somewhere as the season goes on just playing like a Raven.

From his interviews and past team performances, he seems to be committed to and driven-by the respect and dedication to a positive team culture (Family). The only times he hasn't been able to have successful campaigns (very few times) is when that culture doesn't exist. When it's right - Hester's right.

He's in the right place - at the right time. Now...if we could only get Deion some tickets...

As long as Tomlin isn't on the field.
