49ers hand kick return duties to RB Glen Coffee

PrintFooch's Note: As small a comment as this was in the Chronicle article, it's obviously worth moving to the front page for discussion. To save space I moved most of the FanPost after the jump. For those wondering, Coffee returned 2 kicks for 25 total yards at Alabama in 2005, but does not appear to have any other kick return experience. Hmmmm......
Not sure if this is posted anywhere else but it says that Glen Coffee will be the kickoff return man. I don't remember reading it in any of the coaches transcripts, but this doesn't make too much sense to me, other than giving a chance to everyone in order and see who would be best at it (but maybe thats what preseason was for.)
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/10/22/SP371A9GD8.DTL
Since we want to emphasize the run, and now that Coffee has had several full games at running back, I can see Coffee getting even more carries than the first couple of games to create a change of pace when Frank Gore needs a breather. So don't want to be tiring out Coffee on those exhausting full-speed kickoff returns.
Delanie Walker had several returns last game, and I'm sure having a 240+ pound returner going full-speed at you is intimidating, but I think at kicker returner I would rather go with someone that has agility.
So in addition to the comments about Coffee, after the loss of Rossum and with the current KR change, why is Spurlock not the one to take over for Walker on kick returns?
I guess Battle and Robinson are options at KR, but atleast they can get several snaps throughout the game on offense in 3rd down or long passing situations. But still I don't see Battle or Robinson having the speed or cutting ability to consistently get 25-30 yards a return.
Worst thing to see a return man catch the ball, carry it for 15 yards, then slow down into his blocking wall or into 2 kicking-team defenders, and get tackled. Why not instead of slowing down just make a cut like Rossum or Dante Hall used to do or I guess how Cribbs does now and keep going for atleast 5 more yards or even way more.
It feels like Spurlock is a bit quicker in that way then some of our other potential KR's. But I remember Coach Singletary saying that we have extra WR's so they can be used on special team coverage in order to keep our defensive starters only in for defense, not special teams. Which makes perfect sense. But still feels like Spurlock can serve more of a purpose than that.
Sounds like I'm supporting Spurlock to be the main kick returner, which actually I'm not, I just realized we have several okay kick returner options but not anyone that stands out. What do you guys think about our options?Anyway, good luck to Coffee doing it since he'll be the one at it this weekend.
Why not, here's a poll...

I'd like to see Coffee get some returns
He’s the best open field athlete out of that group I think. If it doesn’t work, you can always try someone else. Spurlock would probably be the next guy I would pick, but this sounds like a good idea to try.

Arnaz Lost The Battle Already?
Are the 49ers really trying to piss us off? Really, Glenn Coffee . . . now? So lets expose Coffee to the collisions of kickoff return while the team has no other possible backup for Frank Gore. This is maddening!
Further shows the handling of Kory Sheets was an absolute debacle.
Use Spurlock, same capability and no penalty if he gets hurts. Really, WTF are they keeping him around for?

well thats fine because we let rossum go to protect zeigler.
(rossum – sheets) + zeigler = coffee returning kicks
i aint too good at math but that doesn’t add up.

Battle fumbled twice already
Didn’t do anything on his returns, and isn’t a big play threat. Why should he keep his job?
Spurlock? Eh. I think he could return capably but perhaps Coffee will be able to break a few long runs. As for why keep Spurlock around, I guess there’s no one on the PS they’d rather bring up.
I still don’t see the big deal with Sheets, he wasn’t going to get any playing time.

Have you watched Battle return punts?
He’s slow and can’t decide which way to go= horrible returner.
and he drops them

Oh boy
This is really gonna bring out the Sheets cult following.
Of all recent moves, this is the one I see little to no logic in. Coffee? He’s not a speed back (not that speed is the only or main factor in being a returner). He’s a physical RB and the primary backup to Gore coming off an ankle injury. Wow. I still expect to see Walker back there barring injury but… they must be confident that Houston will only be kicking off once or twice come Sunday.

If Coffee gets hurt they can always use Walker as the backup RB

This?
Is just baffling. What do we have all these receivers for?
Crabtree
Bruce
Morgan
Battle
Hill

Spurlock
Zeigler (PS)
Did I miss anyone? 8 right?
How do the coaches come out and verbally say to the media and everyone else that we want to be a running team. #21 is the bell cow, etc, etc… but we have 900 WR’s on the team? Makes zero sense at all. AND THEN….to top it all off…we’re going to use one of our few RB’s on kick returns? Man….. I am speechless
by Drew Kerr on Oct 23, 2009 12:56 AM PDT reply actions 1 recs
Like you said
Gore is going to play 90% of the offensive snaps. Coffee won’t be needed very much on offense. And 7 WR’s on the 53 man roster is only 1 more than teams usually carry, it’s not that big of a deal really.
by Brendan Scolari on Oct 23, 2009 1:08 AM PDT up reply actions
But it sort of is
when you’re promoting running the ball. Seems like you’d carry 3-4 solid RB’s like Pittsburgh or Dallas. Michael Robinson is not a true RB sorry. So really we only have 2 true RB’s. Kind of sucks if you think about it
Yeah, I sort of see what your saying
But it sounds like the coaching staff did not think Sheets could contribute. Maybe next year they’ll draft a quick, change of pace back with a later pick.
by Brendan Scolari on Oct 23, 2009 1:30 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah
But I think they’d just want a small, quick guy who could play 5-10 plays a game and return kicks. Seems like it’d be a guy to just use a late flier on.
I’d love someone like Noel Devine who falls because he’s so small so they can use a late round pick on him, but the guy can catch a few passes out of the backfield and be a great return man. Someone who has no chance of being a feature back so they can get him cheap. Not sure if Devine fits that mold but he is really small (5’8" 175 lb. I think) so I doubt he’ll get drafted very high.

Sproles is a FA
next year. How would that be as a #2 doing KR… then you work Coffee in now and again? Maybe out of reach because of salary but who knows with an uncapped year. I doubt SD will let him walk anyhow.
Regardless…we will need a minimum of 1 more RB. But someone who can be a RB on top of KR’s.
I don’t see why we don’t try Jason Hill foinf KR’s. Sometimes is just a matter of working guys in to find out who would be a good fit returning kicks
The thing with Sproles
Is he is probably going to be pretty expensive. I don’t think it’d be worth paying to get him unless he’s playing at least half of the offensive snaps, which he wouldn’t do.
Hill seems like he would be a decent option.
by Brendan Scolari on Oct 23, 2009 1:42 AM PDT up reply actions
He would
but it’s probably not realistic like you said. If they could work him in doing screens and stuff though that may work. With Gore and him in there at the same time, lining Sproles up in the slot every once in a while. Maybe run a few misdirections? He may be worth the money…who knows though. I think alot of teams will be trying to get him
Sproles' value may take a beating
this year based on how poorly the Chargers are running the ball. They’re ranked last in the league in rushing right now (yes, even the Raiders and Rams are better).
Their line isn't that good
And pro-bowl center Nick Hardwick has been injured.
But yeah, I’m not saying he’s going to get paid huge money or anything, but more than you’d want to spend for a 3rd down back/return man.
by Brendan Scolari on Oct 23, 2009 1:48 AM PDT up reply actions
If we pick up Sproles I assume it would be to
replace Coffee.
I just don’t see this happening though.
Also,
what’s to keep the chargers from just tagging him again?

Thing is, the 49ers may be “promoting” running the ball, but I believe they’ve thrown about as much as they’ve run this season.
Don't the Vikings only have 2 RB's too?
They run it a lot…
M-Rob isn’t really a RB but he’s just an emergency guy anyways.
by Brendan Scolari on Oct 23, 2009 1:41 PM PDT up reply actions
I wouldn't go so far as to say Vikings only have 2 RBs
They have AP, All Pro, All Day, Purple Jesus, whatever you want to call him and a MORE than servicable back up in Chester Taylor, AP counts as two himself. I am not sure but doubt that is it, but those are the top two runners for sure. I’m sure Percy Harvin could fill in too.
They have 3 true RB's
Peterson, Taylor, and Young. You just never see Young cause there’s no need for it. We could have used Sheets when it was just Coffee and Robinson
Not that big of a deal?
I’d have to disagree simply because Gore has proven to be fragile

Not everyone
I like that they are trying it!
But no, I don’t think it includes punts. Those take a bit more specialized skillset (catching the ball while worrying about guys in your face, whether to fair catch it or not, whether to let the ball go and hope it rolls into the end zone, etc.)

It's not that difficult
Guys usually have a count going on in their head to let them know whether to fair catch and avoid the hit. Not to mention the guys blocking the gunners typically shout out instructions.
Not that difficult
But I would imagine it takes more practice than kick returns, practice Coffee hasn’t had to my knowledge.
by Brendan Scolari on Oct 23, 2009 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions
Well something has to change
16 punts returned for a total of 96 yards for a lousy 6 yard per return average.
13 kick returns for a total of 271 yards. Average of 20.8 yards per return.
Both stats are horrid. I’m not surprised that they’re making a change. I’m not sure if Coffee is the right one to be doing it, but Walker isn’t working out for us obviously.
I would bet Walker and Coffee run about the same speed
It’s not about Walker or even Rossum before. The blocking on returns has not been stellar. My guess is that the injuries to Ulbrich, Hudson, R. Smith and Harris have caused rotations in the ST unit. Coverage and blocking for returns tends to suffer with no consistency.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
Lattimore
yea maybe he’ll do something. Not sure if he has any kick return experience.
BUT CHECK THIS OUT HE REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE RAY LEWIS!
I dont care he’s not a LB, must have some similir genes that translate to football and that he can take advantage of as a RB

Maybe he'd do returns if the game was on the line
I remember when Adrian Peterson returned a kick against the Bears his rookie year because the Vikings were down 1-2 points with <2 minutes left, he had like a 50-60 yard return.

why is Spurlock still on this team

Good question
he’s always been a specialty guy. Special teams and I think we got him to run that lame attempt at the wildcat. But as of now, it’s a mystery
He's probably Raye's pet.

Coffee?
I just checked his stats in college. He’s returned a total of two kickoffs in his career. Back in 2005.
He doesn’t have tremendous speed. He’s a north-south runner. And he’s a rookie. I just don’t get it?
I’d rather have Spurlock back there returning kicks. At least we know he’s experienced and won’t fumble the ball.

I don't get it either
Maybe they called Martz and asked his opinion? We all know how much the running game means to him.

Hey
When you have a TE returning kicks, it’s hard to get much worse. ;-)
by Brendan Scolari on Oct 23, 2009 1:42 PM PDT up reply actions
This is weird.
If you are a run-oriented team you need more than two legitimate running backs, especially with Gore’s injury history. This is the third year in a row that the Niners have lost him for significant time.
I know Robinson is valuable for special teams and can be a good receiver option in third down situations, but he’s not a running back. You can’t maintain a drive handing the ball to him.
I think a lot of the fail on the offense revolves on the swing and miss with Marvel Smith and Rachal’s failure to improve this year. The right side of the line has been weakened by these things. This was compounded when Crabtree fell to the Niners at ten and they were compelled to get him over an O-lineman. He was clearly the best on the board and best for the team in the long run but it left the team thin on the line for this year.
Was the Brandon Jones signing bad in retrospect? If I knew he was going to break his collarbone this summer I wouldn’t have signed him last spring. But he may still show up. For a team that’s supposed to be run-first they have too many receivers and not enough true running backs. This should eventually sort itself out. Battle is running out of time, this is the last go-round for Bruce. As for Hill, Ziegler and Jones, they should eventually move up in the depth charts.
By the way, you can read around the net about how S. Hill’s arm is the proximate cause for the weak passing game. If Pashos and Snyder improve the right side of the line you’ll see the passing game improve dramatically.
More coffee, because I need to wake up. But not Coffee returning kicks, please.
by Bob In Beaverton on Oct 23, 2009 7:14 AM PDT reply actions
You don't really need more than 2 backs
Teams like the Vikings and Panthers have been heavy running teams with only 2 backs. It’s not ideal maybe but it can definitely work, the 3rd RB wouldn’t get hardly any time when Gore and Coffee are healthy anyway.
Agreed on the offensive line fail. And yes, I think the Brandon Jones signing was pointless once Crabtree was drafted.
by Brendan Scolari on Oct 23, 2009 1:45 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes they do
Both AP and Stewart had big injury questions coming out of college. AP has been mostly healthy thus far in his career but Stewart has had lots of injury problems.

This reply is weird.
Robinson has improved tremendously as an RB since he has been working with Rathman and is far and away the best choice to run back kickoffs. He never fumbles and is a QB with a good head on his shoulders. Averaged 33 yards per return on kickoffs vs. the Texans.
Kezarvet
Coffee sounds like a great choice
And if he gets hurt we can put in Gore.
The future ain't what it used to be.
Wondering
Do any of our DB’s have KR experience? Bly or Spencer both seem to have the speed and hands to be effective, and I thought Clements returned a few last year. Not certain, but those all look like better, safer options than Coffee (who doesn’t make any sense to me).
Key to the game: Score More
Nate has done punt returns
And he did some KO return as a rookie in Buffalo, perhaps even later than that. Truthfully, our DB returner was Rossum. I still don’t like getting rid of him over Spurlock even though Spurlock is a gunner on the coverage units and Rossum wasn’t.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
Thanks for the info
I’m just thinking that we must have a better/safer option than Coffee.
Letting Rossum go is starting to look like a poor move, even if he was one dimensional.
Key to the game: Score More
Yep. It would be even more salt in this decision
If Rossum runs one back for Dallas. Ugh… Placing that thought out of my head right now.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
I wonder if I’m the only person who wasn’t bothered by Rossum getting let go. I think the real failing was not having a viable second option on staff. I don’t mind so much letting the declining, hurting kick returner go. I do mind having to resort to some really lousy options in his absence.

by howtheyscored on Oct 23, 2009 10:18 AM PDT up reply actions
There's the problem
it’s easy to say “player A sucks”, but unless you have player B to replace him you’re kind of stuck.
Rossum was mediocre at best, but there’s no clear replacement for him, leading to this debate. ST’s can play a major role in the game, and the lack of a quality return could really bite us in a close game.
The Texans are going to be tough enough to beat without starting drives in poor field position. We’re going to need every yard we can get.
Key to the game: Score More
I agree
And I should probably rephrase what I said. It doesn’t bother me that we let go of Rossum in and of itself. I am bothered by the decision to let him go considering we can’t replace him. But disliking letting him go is secondary there. I only dislike letting him go because we did something even stupider first. So while I am okay with hating on the release itself, I prefer to hate on the stupider thing that happened first.

Good clarification
I actually don’t think the lack of return yardage was a Rossum issue. Certainly, he’s lost a step from previous seasons and can’t make big plays on his own. But our blocking has been poor and that’s going to harm any return man; gotta give em a lane. The fact that Rossum didn’t muff punts or fumble KOs plus knew when to fair catch or let a ball bounce means more to me than anything. If we can’t have a Sproles/Harvin/Hester type player, give me the solid and dependable vet. Even without lots of big plays, they’re still good for one TD per season (see Rossum last year). Reminds me of how long Brian Mitchell stayed in the league. You need smarts and experience back there.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
I don't mind...
… the release, either. It’s the fact that they have so many WRs on the roster. That and the fact that Spurlock who does NOTHING for the team was kept over Rossum but isn’t taking over Rossum’s role (when he supposedly could).
exactly
This one is a real head-scratcher. I don’t know why media types haven’t just gone to McCloughan and said “sooo…you’ve got 8 WR between the 53-man and practice squad. The team has never used a 5-wide set and have seldom used a 4-wide formation. Then you released Rossum, who could play a little cornerback. Then you let Sheets (a RB and KR in college) walk when your run-first team was down its #1 RB and #1 KR. What were you thinking?”
Morgan breaks through in 2009!
The team has never used a 5-wide set and have seldom used a 4-wide formation.
According to some numbers from Sando, the 49ers haven’t used a 4WR set ONCE this season.
Yep
Most of the time they go empty backfield they have 2TEs in the game and/or a RB wide.

Kid could kill it on the field. I guess they don’t want him taking over the duties because towards the end of the season he will be our #1 WR and then we would be getting Coffee his first returns when it REALLY mattered but god, Coffee? Really? I bet he fumbles at least one ball and makes at least one stupid play. I don’t mean to be mean, but seriously, Coffee is an idiot. Just looking at him and hearing him talk he has to be one of the dumbest people I have ever seen. Leaving the field because he thought Morgan scored? I mean cmon. Now you are allowing him to be the first to touch the ball after Houston scores? Oh brother….
Good grief
Just looking at him and hearing him talk he has to be one of the dumbest people I have ever seen.
Just looking at him? Mind posting a pic of yourself so we can judge how intelligent YOU are?
The future ain't what it used to be.
I should've clarified
When I watch him talk, the look on his face, and what he says, to me shows he has absolutely no clue. Also by his actions on the field, he makes bad decisions as well. Especially him running off the field having no clue that we didn’t score. I mean have you guys EVER seen something like that? Cmon Coffee. Are you Glen Coffee or Paul Coffee?
Madden kick returns
Anyone have Madden want to simulate a couple seasons with various kick returner options that we are talking about and see whose stats average out to be the best? This will tell us a lot. . .

Let's hope he returns them as he did in '04 and early '06
When he was better than decent on a bad ‘04 team. Of course he’s older now so I’ll just take being smart on fair catches and not muffing the ball.

I'm happy to see that this article was incorrect
and that Michael Robinson was given the kickoff return duties. Walker is an excellent return man but has issues holding on to the ball and Coffee is just not ready. Makes too many mistakes. With Michael you never have to worry about him fumbling or making some sort of stupid mistake. He averaged 33 yards per return which is excellent.
