Muffed a punt that led to a touchdown.

 

[Ajb44]

Oh I thought he did something good. Someone posted "he's back on the team"

 

[Leuzer]

Was he specifically told not call for fair catches and return every single punt? He even fielded one at the 4 yard line.

Oh well. It's preseason and he'll be cut.

He caught a TD towards the end of the game when he was actually used in the red zone.

 

[rdlkgliders]

Not a fan. sorry

I actually like him, i dont think we will use him for punt returns anyway, but besides this 1 return he actually look good back there and he showed good hands.

We finally saw a spark from him, and Thomas this week, although they still look like rookies. There is some talent there.

 

[SteezyEndo]

He knew he f'd that return prior to him instantly redeeming himself into a promising motivated WR. I saw disappointment, but saw determination to make it a positive attribute after a disappointing play.

Basically it comes down to motivation. The want of winning, and achieveing the same goals. This goes across thee entire spectrum of this Rams organization.

 

[Ramhusker]

I think he lands on the PS with Duke. Thomas may have snuck on the roster tonight.

 

[LARams_1963]

They gave him a shot at ST's..he failed miserably.

 

[Wolfecola]

He made a contested catch in the endzone. We need that on this team.

 

[Psycho_X]

He's got freakishly long arms and stride. If they can get lucky and hide him on the practice squad for a year he may be a hell of a threat eventually. He's obviously very raw though. But unlike Quick who has looked raw for 5 years now McRoberts actually fought for the ball when thrown his way and used his size to his advantage. Just don't have him return punts lol.

Very well said......

Probably made Groh happy. How many others noted Groh, in the latest episode of Hard Knocks, lamenting that nobody on the roster could make a contested catch?

I worked with the athletic department at SEMO while he was there. He was put on punt returns like halfway through his senior year partly because someone got hurt, and partly to try to add some value to him for the draft. Unless he did it when he was in HS he had very little experience at the position and he doesn't have the burst/quickness you'd normally like to see in a PR. But he's a hell of a WR if given the chance.

 

[Ram65]

He looks fluid as a WR. Nice size and length. Made the limited catches he was given. I like him.

The muffed punt should/would be a fair catch. He probably should have yelled for players to stay away from the punt that hit Duke's foot. Not a big concern as he is learning.

SEMO Alums!!

I agree. He shouldn't be judged off a botched punt return when he isn't going to be a punt returner. If you grade him as a WR, he has been great when they throw him the ball and he is open most of the time when the QBs are looking the other way.
