when is jerome mathis comin back

Im glad u brought him up cuz i wuz wondering wut happend to him I thought they got rid of him or something cuz i never hear about him wher u at jerome

 

He may come back later in the season, but won't know till probably week 8 or 9.

Mathis's career in Houston may be over. Edell Shepherd has looked almost as good as Mathis on kickoff returns so far. If Edell keeps it up, it will be hard to keep Mathis next year if he doersn't improve his route running as a WR.

 

I would hope not, he was electric on kickoff and punt returns and maybe one of the fastest guys in the league. Hopefully he won't be cut for Edith Shepard.

 

im sorry edell will never be a pro bowler or an all pro

 

I don't agree that Edell has looked almost as good as Mathis did last year. Mathis is so much more explosive but I agree that Mathis needs to improve his route running and hands at WR. Since Mathis was placed on the PUP list, he will be eligible to return off the PUP list for play in Week 7 if he's healthy enough to practice and play. If he is not activated 21 days after Week 6, then his season will be over and be placed in the IR.

 

I prefer Mathis as well at kick returner, event hough Edell has been pretty good in the past two games. The NFL generally doesn't place that high of a value on kick returns because if your kick returner gets a lot of touches, you've probably already lost the game anyway. From some things Kubiak says, I think that he wants the returner to be an offensive or defensive guy first and a special teams player second.

 

i dont think edell shepard is nearly as dangerous as mathis. mathis is a proven young kickoff returner and he will only improve. His speed is rediculous and something that Shepard will never match

 

Mathis only averaged 0.5 yards more last year than Edell Shepherd has this year for the Texans. The 2 TDs is pretty big. Time will tell if Shepherd can keep it up and maybe get himself one of those TDs.
