ARE: Punt Returns

[Monkeydad]

Punt returning has to be the toughest position on the field when it comes to success. You catch the ball and are a sitting duck for 10 guys going on a headhunting mission for you. Sometimes you have less than a second before getting hit.

I still think we should give someone else a chance to avoid letting our #2 WR be a target...but Randel El is not a horrible returner. That fumble yesterday was, but he can make big plays too. I don't want Moss back there. It should be someone who we can afford to lose without disrupting our offense. Thrash or Malcolm Kelly would be best.

Check out the averages from last season. Tops in the NFL was 15.4 yards and that's only because the Bills took a lot of them to the house. Most teams would love to have a 10 yard/return average.
