I also don't like him ever handling the ball. All he does is fumble and drop the ball. At least he's consistent about it. It happens in every game. One of the most overrated guys on the WZ.

Returners can't be big and bulky like him. They lack the agility and change of direction. One hit and down he goes.
No! We need Teddy Ginn back asap

I don't care if he goes down. It's that he fumbles so consistently that is a killer. Whether he is returning or receiving. He did it again tonight. D. Walker is they type of guy who costs you more than what he brings.

He runs with the ball in his hand away from his body too dam much. I like Walker but he should not be handling returns and they need to work on his ball security
mentioned this in another thread, but he now has 5 career fumbles in ~90 touches

I was wondering the same thing. All this new personnel and we're still back to square one like last year at KR/PR.
imho he does an adequate job in the kr game he shows decent vision. the problem is that sometimes he doesnt finish the play out and his lack respect for the flippin ball.

He needs one hell of a lot of work on his ball security. Maybe the worst on the team.

Gore can get that in 4 games and and cough up a single one. We shouldn't be calling plays for this guy in the open field anymore. Enough is enough.
Oh c'mon you guys. I don't care if he had it secured well or not. The Defender got his mitt on the point. It was GOING to come out.

The ONLY way it doesn't is if he has it wrapped up. Even then it's kind of Iffy.

He did fine returning the ball. Considering it was Adams that put it on the carpet when he had no business being near it, I'm willing to give DW a chance.

And this idea that Walker sucks in free space is laughable. Did you SEE what he did on the WR Bubble? That's as fee space as you're EVER going to see and he juked those Defenders out of their jocks.

I agree that he needs to secure the ball better, but c'mon that has no bearing on his return skills as long as he doesn't put it on the carpet at the catch.

And holy hell he's like the 4th fastest on Offense, if not top 2. He an Davis are hella fast.

I kinda agree that Vilma deserves some credit for the fumble, but it wasn't exactly a great strip either, Walker just has butterfingers imo.

Did you see where he fumbled twice today? How about last year when he fumbled against the Eagles, or when he gave up on the route in Minnesota which led to an interception? The dropped pass in the endzone against Seattle? This guy f**king sucks and always does some dumbass s**t when the ball comes his way. And he has no business returning kicks in the NFL.
i remember josh morgan doing alright returning kicks last year...
