http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/Sto...?STORY_ID=18644In addition, Demps also told reporters that Ellis Hobbs will be the primary kickoff returner. Demps handled that role last season.
The only problem with Hobbs is that he's not a starter. He may have locked up the nickel spot, but he'll get nowhere near the defensive stats of a Josh Wilson or Leodis McKelvin.
Did he? I saw that he returned a couple of punts during the preseason, but Dwight Lowery returned the bulk of them. I'd also seen a note from Herman that suggested Washington would see almost all returns.I'll add another line to my column to keep an eye on Leonhard and would greatly appreciate someone adding a link with more definitive information.
I don't like this. Without KR duty, Wilson is a very average CB. His value would drop like a rock.hotlanta said:
The source I saw was Sporting News, from yesterday afternoon:http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/squeekthegeek02/202155Jene Bramel said:
A lot of other sources seem to assume he has it locked up. I know it's been a difficult thing to pin down as a certainty.Jene, what kind of defensive production could we expect from Leonhard?
I was wondering this same thing.
I think he'll probably put up 65 solos and a handful of coverage stats. I don't see stud tackle numbers.Thanks for the link, Tenacious.
Denver's "official" depth chart shows him as #3 KR (behind Royal and Hillis) and #2 PR (behind Royal).Everything during pre-season seemed to indicate that the Broncos were NOT going to use Royal at KR, but solely PR and WR.They basically gave the job to Alphonso but he didn't light it up and then they moved Hillis in and he looked solid.My thoughts are that Hillis and Smith will take a fair amount of KR, and Royal will only be used on crucial returns. But, KRBC isn't a resounding endorsement, just a "wait and see" approach is best.
Tue, Sep 8CB Leodis McKelvin makes his debut as a starter Monday at New England and will likely draw the main assignment on Randy Moss during Tom Brady's return from a knee injury. McKelvin was Buffalo's first-round pick in 2008.
He had a real rough night in the punt return department. If he doesn't improve he won't be back there long.
he's only returning punts till Mouton returns from health
Any info on Allen Rossum? I have both him and Josh Wilson and I'd like to play the one who will get double duty PR/KR if at all possible.Of course I realize Wilson is starting for Trufant but should have that job for at least 6 weeks?
Thanks for the info. I was wondering why he had such a low scoring game. If it's the dreaded high ankle sprain, he'll probably be out for a few weeks. :speculation:Josh Wilson reportedly has a high ankle sprain3 or more weeks out probably, right?
At his press conference today, **** Jauron stated that McKelvin's ankle was feeling better today, but that they were still evaluating the extent of his injury. Jauron stated that, if McKelvin were to miss time, Roscoe Parrish, Xavier Omon, and Terrance McGee would all be candidates to perform kickoff return duties in place of McKelvin.

Hopefully he can go full speed this week. There should be plenty of KR for the Bills and plenty off passes to defend against New Orleans
The Bills reported that Leodis McKelvin was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's good to hear that he is back on the field, at least.Buffaloes said:
