Who will be the best KR this year (other than of course Morton). I am especially interested in who will be the best KR labelled as a RB, not WR.

Dante Hall is THE best K/PR in the League. Second to not even Morton.

ShaggySkins, the guy you're thinking of is Michael Lewis.

Watch out for Albert Johnson on the Jets. Before he got hurt he was 2nd behind Morton in KOR's and now he has the benefit of Mike Westhoff's schemes.

you must mean average per return?
But since he had only 339 yards, he couldn't have had too many returns, meaning 1 big one inflates the average.


Brian Mitchell is true!!!!
Morton And mitchell are the only two I can really think of. My point is to ask why??? Why are the best KR always WR? Wouldn't you think an RB would be better with field vision and quickness???? Just seems all the good ones are WR's.

Morton and Mitchell are both RBs. Lewis and Hall are WRs.

I guess I wasn't specific enough in my last post. But yes, that's my point...other than those two, it seems all the good KR's are WR's...why is that?

If you look at a position in general, which would have the fastest 40 times? WR

good point

But doesn't field vision matter?

That's not always the case either...like Trung is faster than most WR's.

You can scratch Albert Johnson off the list and insert Michael Bates as the Jets released Johnson and signed Bates. Apparently good returns weren't the only thing the Jets wanted out of Johnson, they wanted him to be an all-around STer like Morton was for us and like bates has been in his career.

That's really not surprising. Johnson didn't look impressive at all. I knew you were over selling him at first. Bates is an improvement, but no solution. A Morton only comes around once every 4 or 5 years or so. It will touhg replacing him.

I know it's early, but this week will make or break the Jets this season. They NEED this win.

I think Albert would have been among the league leaders had he stayed here, he's not as explsive as Morton but he outplayed him last Thursday Night. As for Bates, if he's healthy he's one of the best in the game but we'll find out soon enough if he is healthy and if he can still play like he used to.

he USED to be one of the best in the game when he was with Carolina. They let him go when he was slipping, and it was evident he was slipping since he didn't do much for the Skins in 2001. If he was THAT special, some team would have kept him even through the injury. But I have a suspicion with that Ankle injury and the fact he's about to turn 34, that there is barely a pep left in his step.
Sad part is, I really like the guy. He's a gutsy ,gritty player. (and I think an upgrade from Johnson.) He will help your special teams withut a doubt...just not maybe KR.
