Most KR yards in a game?

[Green Majik]

What is the most kick return yards you've been able to accrue in one game do you reckon?

Recently I've been doing a 'safeties only' season with the Niners, who of course are equipped with the top tandem of David Waymer and Ronnie Lott.

In a week 6 annihilation of the Falcons, I was able to score 11 safeties which led to 9 kickoff returns (2 were fumbled) and a whopping 275 yd.

Holy Crow!

 

Jimmy Thomas sending Tom Rathma back to Pop Warner.

 

Nice runs!

 

I loved the echo:

 

"Who is Jimmy Thomas (Thomas)?"

How do you guys play lights out D like that?  I always end up giving up a pass in double coverage or the runner has 2-3 blockers leading him to popcorn me.

Been out of commission for a while, so hopefully the interest still stands ...

 

In short, stellar D comes from lots and lots of practice. Of course, a little luck helps. Typically, I'm not able to shut down the opponent's offense for 0 net yards, I was just on fire that day. Keep in mind that one of the perks of a safeties only season is that you need safeties to win. Every safety you score takes a drive away from your opponent, because they punt the ball back to you.

 

For that regular season my defensive stats were:

1713 total yards (107 per)

1174 pass (73 per)

539 rush (34 per)

 

Still pretty good, but not by any means a shut-out every game.
