But does he make the probowl in madden


I think the reason he hasn't been utilized this way is maybe just maybe they have other future plans for reggie! But idk we had clements out there which I don't like to be honest! Nate dawg clements is our hitman at corner

Clements did well in Buffalo as a PR and the only reason we never placed him there is the big contract we gave him. They didn't want him doing such a dangerous job and risk losing him to injury after pouring that much money into him. I am almost positive he will have to restructure his contract soon, so if we don't draft a legitimate return man, I think we should put Clements back there. We have nobody better. Not even close.

Yeah I do see a restructure in the near future, but if the future seasons remain uncapped maybe not. He may be our best option but I do believe they would be fools to toss clements out there on pr duty! It increases the chances of injury! Kr pr, and kickers are the most sought after target over anybody on the field! And well one good cheap shot and we could lose em for a season or so. Idk, I hope we find another option out there and we don't have to rely on clements on pr duty! He is a badass cb for us I'd like em to remain so. My opinion of course

I agree and I know the team does as well, which is pretty much what they said when we first signed him and he was asked by a reporter if he would handle return duties. Clements looked at Nolan, who pretty much gave him the "no way" response. I believe the beat writers also covered the reasoning for Clements not handling return duties, and the money was the main issue because of the injury concerns.

On the other hand, though, he handled return duties in Buffalo and never missed a game.

Your rite on every level, but I'd be crossing my fingers! There is always that guy out there trying to test the guy who just came back from injury tho, I'd be pissed if someone threw a cheap shot on em and hurt em again! And if we use em that way and he tears it up that would be badass lol

CJ Spiller

i think we should draft a returner in the second round like on Dexter McCluster i don't think spiller is worth that high of a pick for us and in the first round we should beef up our o line

If we can somehow land Best or Gilyard in the 2nd that would be much more valuable than Spiller in the 1st. We'd be insanelly deep at RB (with Best) or WR (with Gilyard) and both could be that return threat we really need. All that being said I'd love to see Reggie Smith get some time back there as well. You need at least two guys that can do it and I don't know if we even have one that is good enough at it (aside from Smith, maybe)...

Those
Spiller or Mcluster!
McCluster in the second round! Lupati and Kyle Wilson in the first!
Member Milestone: This is post number 300 for kemp_j.
I think if Reggie Smith could do it, then they wouldn't have used Clemmons or Battle last season.

IMO the Niners should use a second or third on a return specialist.......

lol..

I hope the niners use a 3rd on a return man, id hate to see one of the firsts, hell even the 2nd used on a return man, when the Oline and secondary needs help.

You didn't spell Clements wrong in your original post, it was a whole different name.

However you did spell it wrong when you corrected yourself, as ironic as that is.
