    Holliday will return more punts. Holliday will return more kickoffs.

    Every time I saw Holliday going to block for Williams during a kickoff I cringed.

    You and me both. I was halfway expecting him to fly into the endzone after taking a hit at the 20.

    let keiland catch the ball, act like hes going to run, then do the across the field pass to trindon and let him smoke a bowl!!!

    i say let keiland take them-- the guy is a monster-- what he lacks in trindons speed, he makes up for his power OR....

    i saw we just let charles scott catch it and let him bowl people over!!!

    the guy is truly amazing-- i love how he always guards the ball

    NO CHARLES SCOTT ON SPECIAL TEAMS!

    He's too important to put in that kind of danger. Just let Jones catch the ball and let the offense do the rest. :thumb:

    I just think that Trindon wants to so bad to make a big play that it makes him lose his focus and make dumb decisions.

    If a player can't remember where the ten yard line is he has no business fielding punts.
    It appears that he has trouble reading the flight of the ball. Maybe he does have a problenm with his sight.
    I hope it is fixed prior to the Alabama and Florida games. We lost momentum and eventually the game the last time we went to the swamp as a result of a fumbled kick.

    incorrect.

    he was just nervous. he will be fine after MSU. no different than being patient with jarett lee. in time, he will be electric returning punts.

    sooner rather than later. hes too talented.

    Trindon can't catch 'em in traffic.

    He has problems in practice and he had problems Sat.

    The only punts he caught against UNT were punts that were overkicked and he had 20 yards of leeway to play with.

    He is (in case you all didn't know :wave:) a little feller. So when that ball is coming at him and there are also 11 other guys closing in on him, he had trouble balancing everything together and bringing the football in.

    That's why he also doesn't play some skat-back/wide receiver stuff on passing plays.

    So to answer the question, no, I don't expect to see him back there returning punts regularly unless it's like some of the above posters said: LSU is in the need of a momentum-changing style play.

    Edit: Chad Jones fielding them today at practice.

    Or, hell, if the other team is pinned deep into their own territory, Miles may throw him back there and hope that the opponent kicks it away from him and gives LSU great field position.

    But it's two weeks in a row that he fields one inside of the 10, which is a no-no.

    His role on offense became nadda because of it, too. Fool me one, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me and Miles penalized him for it Saturday.
