Thanks; some good info and updates. Comments on Koa Farmer were interesting -- trying him as a kick returner. From the blog:
"I talked with Farmer this summer about the possibility of him helping as a returner and while all 11 have to be doing their job in order to bust one, that’s certainly an encouraging sign for the special teams. Farmer generated some hype last camp when arrived and outgrew his position at safety, prompting the team to move him to linebacker and him taking a redshirt. He’s a unique athlete who at 6-foot-1, 222 lbs. still runs his 40-yard dash in the 4.4s, a time he said he even bettered by just a tad this offseason."

Apparently, CJF called Bill O'Brien and asked him for advise and Billy told him to use a LB as a kick returner... I hope Farmer does a better job than Hodges did a couple of years ago. Yikes, that was bad.
Hodges should have been an up man to field short punts and to provide a good block on the first man up the field. JMO.
