I saw that. It was a great return. If you saw that, can you also say who our kick returner was?
Thank you. Can you inform Purdue 85 of that? He doesn't seem to believe me. He only believes his official stats which were wrong! I'm not even sure what his official stats he used even were other than he called them official.
Good God! Bad analogy and lack of understanding our point. Do your homework 1st before coming out with that bad statement. Grade F
How is it a bad analogy? You and Wole have claimed Moore is being overused and is at risk of being injured. He is the best player on the team. So should Tiller have taken Brees out at times because he was throwing it 60 times a game? I mean, throwing it that much is just asking too much from a QB much like putting Moore on special teams.
You play the best people you can...especially when the depth isn’t there to play backups on special teams.
Last season, how was the KO return and punt return? They added nobody who can provide near what Rondale can. You play the guys who put you in the best position possible to wins games. If there was someone who could REMOTELY give you what Rondale does in those aspects, you would see someone else. Anthrop is the main backup...does he give you at all what Moore does? No.
The depth isn’t there and that’s why Knox is on special teams along with Sparks and a number of other starters. There is a reason why Bama’s starters don’t play special teams outside of the returners...bc they have depth.
talk to the scorer.
purduesports.com is your friend. Or not, if you don't like the stats.
dude.
stop.
We all watched the game.
We also have access to the stats.
He's not . . . 'over-used'
What’s the problem (not with you). I don’t get it. The kid was trying to make something happen.
Only stated to look at other personnel for KO and PR special teams. Rondale is needed as much as possible on offense. Risking him on KO or Punt Returns is not necessary. Let the Offense and Rondale do their job! Simple as that.
Rondale had 1 great PR. Give credit where credit is due. Just do not want the Big hit from a Gunner to be the last hit of the season for Rondale.
Rondale has also cause KO and Punt teams to do things different than what they are used to. Iowa’s punt team wasn’t great yesterday because of having to deal with Moore. Same could be said for OSU.
Wolegib is wrong. As usual.
Rondale isn’t overused or even close to it.
You are always looking to get the best playmaker the ball. If anything we need to find ways to get it too him more.

So, let me get this straight. In the minds of many people, Brohm is a coaching genius, yet we have some here questioning how smart he is because of how he uses the talent that he recruited. Not-so-coincidentally, some of these are the same people who always have better ideas than Coach Painter does for his basketball team.
I find it very inconsiderate to the Boiler Nation that these geniuses have never applied for a coaching job at Purdue, leading us to several National Championships.
Or find another Rondale Moore recruit that can help do that his Freshman year (Wandale Robinson). Never say never until signed.
I can’t believe I read this whole thread....
Not overused. Antonio Brown, Julian Edelman, OBJ, Tyreek Hill return punts and or kickoffs. Usually teams put their best man on the field for this. How many times did we end up with a more advantageous kick or punt just from fear of him being there?

Also running backs often get 25-30 touches per game and are often gang tackled each time. I don’t see what Moore is doing 13x per year is much worse. If we had a RB that was much better than his teammates we would be calling for him to get more snaps.
For the record DJ Knox has about 20 more touches than Moore this year and I hear calls for more touches almost weekly on this board.
