Thread: Lets sign CB Justin Miller

You think now that the New York Jets released Justin Miller it would be a good idea for the Vikes to sign him to be our kick returner?

he hasnt played much at all this year but he is only 23-24 years old and he made the pro bowl once, and our special teams suck!

He was amazing at returning kicks in the 2005 and 2006 seasons but then he got his job taken from him by Leon Washington who i think is the best KR in the league

I dont really see it happening because he was arrested before for assaulting a
woman at a nightclub, which does not sound cool at all but he actually swung at a male, but instead hit a woman because the man dodged his blow (lol i thought that kind of stuff only
happens in movies)

but we really need a kick returner

I would not be opposed

He averages like 27 yards a kick return or something like that?

He's crazy good at it.. Hicks sucks

I don't see it happening though

He also has to go through waivers so we may end up claiming him from that if another lesser team doesn't beat us again.

I hope so

The weakest part of our team besides Gus Frerotte is our Special teams

What stands out for me comparing his stats to Hicks is this.

79% of his KR went for 20+ yards compared to 68% for Hicks.
12% of his KR went for 40+ yards compared to 4% for Hicks.
3 TD off KR compared to 0 for Hicks.

He seems more explosive then Hicks.

Can anyone tell me why Andre Allison isn't returning kicks?
He did return one last year.

I can't say I agree with you there. Hicks is explosive, but that's only in his first couple of steps. He, on the other hand, doesn't possess great speed. That's why he'll never take it to the house (unless he only has a 280 pounds lineman chasing him). Pretty much every defensive backs or even linebackers in the NFL will chase him down.

What makes u think he is explosive at all? I don't see it

I see explosive as Dante hall in his prime...Cribbs.. Hester.. Justin Miller

Hicks is not explosive at all IMO
