    I'm not a fan of him playing a full game in all phases of the game. I think he will be a pro bowler but I think he will be a pro bowler on what he does on the defensive side. Not what he does on a punt or kick return. Or how dynamic he can make the offense. I want him on D. And I think he and Lebeau are made for each other. Lebeau will get a ton out of him.

    Im interested to know why you think this. Can you name 1 CB who's ever done anything special under Dick LeBeau?

    Are you mistakenly thinking he'll use Adoree like Polamalu for some unknown reason?

    He's gonna line up, and cover, that's all Adoree is gonna do.

    I want him to focus on CB but I'm definitely putting him at KR/PR from day one. He can change the game like Will Fuller did against us last season.

    But I'd hold off on offense for now. Don't wanna give him too much too quick. Maybe eventually you put in a package for him, but not immediately.

    I agree. If I were in charge...

    In camp, I'd have Jackson competing with the new RB and the new slot receiver for return duties. If one of the others is nearly as good, let them do it. They are expendable.

    No offense for the first season. We have plenty of new pieces to work into the system. And between the backs, TE, Matthews, Davis, Taylor, etc. it's not like we don't have plenty of dynamic options fighting for targets.

    Let Jackson ideally be cb only at first. Maybe draw up a package on offense for Jackson for the playoffs.

    Adoree is a straight up baller! I beleive he can have as much impact as Deion did in his rookie season for the Falcons. Playing D and returning Punts, he is a playmaker.

    Adoree should definitely focus most of his time on being a corner but at the very least he should return punts too. Adoree was one of the best college punt returners ever it's not like it's going to take up much of his time doing it.

    Is agree we should hold off on puting him in on offense but eventually I bet mularkey will try some things out.

    I have always prefered defensive players returning rather than offensive players.
    Then you have a wr (or rb) running right back on the field to start the next series of plays.

    Let Weems return Kicks. Adoree starts at CB and returns punts.

    Ike Taylor got a couple rings as a 4th round corner. Rod Woodson played corner/safety for him also. If I recall correctly he nailed Moon once and knocked him out of a game on a corner blitz.
