If DY was as fast as folks on here claim he is, he would have ran a kickoff or punt return back for a TD already.

Very funny. What you should do is remember it was not long ago we didn't have anyone who could catch a punt of KO. DY came in and put that issue to rest.

As for taking the hog hide home, be patient, this season it will happen. And it won't be just Devrin either. I'm counting seeing two in the very first game.

And you can say that with certainty?

Our special teams have sucked over the years. Maybe the problem isn't his speed but the blocking.

Young has returned 44 punts and 52 kicks. Someone like Sproles for instance has returned 195 punts and 328 kicks. He's returned 3 punts for td's and 2 kicks for td's. That's 427 less returns for DY. I'd say Sproles is extremely fast but those numbers don't blow DY away or anything. That's one td return per 104.6 returns. DY has only had 96 returns in his career. I think your comment about DY not being as fast as people may think simply because he hasn't taken one to the house yet is really vague. You're not accounting for blocking and the fact it takes even the fastest of players like Sproles 105 returns on average to take one back. So, I don't think you can just go around saying DY isn't as fast as some believe just because he hasn't returned a punt/kick(in only 96 tries). Sproles had 31 returns in college and 0 touchdowns. He only had 35 yards on 10 punt returns. He seems to be doing well in the NFL though with his speed and better blocking. Maybe blocking is the issue for DY's lack of returns to the house. Or, maybe you're right and DY isn't as fast as some think. I don't think speed is the be all and end all for returning punts though and the issue may very well be blocking and not his speed.

FWIW, I would take multiple returns to the 30 over 1 return to the house. It's nice to get 6 off a return, but lets be honest, multiple returns to the 30 would have helped up tremendously this yard.

I personally don't give a damn if he is the fastest person in the nation or or the slowest! He hasn't really done much praise him!
