Can kene nwangwu not catch or something? He is the fastest guy on the team who does great at kick returns. Also the team desperately needs a deepn threat at receiver or at least the threat of one.. and we never try a punt return. How is he not a kick returner/ punt returner/ deep threat wide receiver when this team needs all three of those right now.

Whew.
Thought he was transferring between quarters.

my bad... just not sure why he is not used as a punt returner or wide receiver. fastest guy on the field
Because he’s a running back and a kickoff returner instead, as the fastest guy on the team.
huh??? so the reason he isn't used more on a team that could use his skill set is because he isn't what I suggested or because he can't be what I suggested? one is arbitrary the other isn't
I agree with all except the deep threat WR. Get him the ball short in the flats in space. Maybe a wheel or seam route from time to time.
Honestly, I've been waiting two or three weeks for this conversation. It's a valid question. I have to believe the answer is no, he doesn't catch well. Otherwise, I'm not sure why we wouldn't be working him in more at receiver. Or at least more wheel routes and such.
They do need to find ways to get him the ball more. Good things happen when he has the ball.
Don't think the pocket holds up for need of a long threat. I like the use of the TE's and Breece picking a team apart. Hutchinson looks really good on crossing routes. I would like to see Hall used as a receiver more if he didn't block so well
Deven Hester kinda showed he was a great returner...not so much receiver.Maybe Kene isn't a good route runner or blocker at wide receiver. It may not be his inability to catch it.
Kene's long return in the 3rd quarter was a huge spark to the team. Pivotal moment imo
How about one of Brock’s interceptions? Guess who ran down the defender saving a touchdown. Yep, it was Kene. Get him the ball!
I love Lang in the slot. He has better hands than Kene and the more he is on the field the better
I think Akers used to return kickoffs maybe for Rhoads if he has been around that long, wondered why they don’t try him on punts.
He's dropped quite a few passes in his career. With his speed it would be nice, but I wouldn't be comfortable with him back there.
Trying to keep him healthy may be one of them.
I asked this last week and was informed he has the worst hands on the team.
