If you're the Skins and you want talent, experience, and speed back there your options are Moss, Hall, Thomas, Galloway (I hear he's still a burner and did return punts for the Bucs), and Buchanon IMO. Who would you want to risk? Thomas could return kicks but lets face it, he's nothing to call home about. Are Galloway/Buchanon expendable? I don't know at this point.

There's not a single Redskin player from last year that is capable returner I would want to put back there so let's hope we get some fresh blood that's capable.
I'd risk all but Moss. None of the guys listed are difference makers.

Moss, Hall and Buchanon should be off returns if we're talking about risk.

Terrence Austin makes a lot of sense if Banks doesn't make it.

Moss only because he's our only proven 1-2 caliber NFL receiver who isn't at the end of his career. If Hall goes down, Buchanon or Barnes step up. If Buchanon goes down, Barnes/Tyron/etc. step up. Losing Hall or Buchanon isn't a "devastating blow" to the D. Orakpo, Fletch, or AH & Kemo (both), yes.

The way he's been struggling lately, maybe Tryon's best shot is to make a name for himself as a returner on teams

Sad to see him sliding down the depth chart, but if he ain't gettin' it done. ....and he's not even listed on the depth chart as a returner. I didn't see him get any reps with the punt return guys. He better make some sort of positive impression tomorrow night.

Tryon in punt return drills (Gano kicking on this side of field...Bidwell had another group):
