Punt returner Kamara

I get it when we REALLY need it, but please let's develop another option ASAP, Alvin got really lit up on one of those today. AK is too valuable to put at risk continually.

What's wrong with Ozigbo handling those duties?

I just checked his stats. It doesn't look like he's ever fielded a punt before. Not a good time to start if so. Don't know if he did in college, either.

I think we REALLY needed it. What were the other options? We needed this win badly. Callaway was the only other player with any experience returning unless I'm mistaken. Or perhaps, Stills, but Kamara was likely the next option all along in their depth chart. Not ideal, but we have clearly been decimated by injuries lately.

You insert Ty Montgomery on punt return/kick off duty until Harris is healthy. Ty did it for the Packers, Jets, and the Saints in 2020.

He's more than capable, not to mention experienced.

That would be the next best option until Harris can return. That said, by our next game we could be back at full force. Two full weeks until we play next. Great time for the bye.

I’d rather have Shy Tuttle return punts than Kamara.

Talk about a straight arm. Lol

Or just put all 11 on the rush and let the punt land where it lands!
