Punt Return Options
 

After Moore's showing Friday, Reggie might have to return punts this year. To me, the risk of injury there outweighs the potential.

Pierre Thomas looked good at KR and kick coverage, so he might be the answer.

I think Jason David returned some punts in camp, but he needs to concentrate on coverage.

Meachem?

Pierre Thomas is the answer to me. This kid just looks like he has talent to me.

wasnt reggie begging peyton to return kicks and punts this year

Re: Punt Return Options
 

Yea,but Reggie is to important to other parts of our game. I don't want to see him get hurt returning. Pierre Thomas is the answer. The kid has the desire to do whatever it takes to make this team. He's fast and elusive.Turn him loose.

if pierre would make the team, the rb's would be....deuce,reggie,pittman, and thomas....would that leave stecker out?

Re: Punt Return Options
 

I look for the team to cut Stecker this year for salary reasons. Thomas is younger, cheaper and faster to keep. Plus I\in my opinion he'll be a better backup than Stecker. I lost fait in Stecker last year. He just didn't show me enough. I like this Thomas kid.

The idea behind returns are field position. If Reggie is our best option you use him. Worrying about injury on a kick return is ridiculous. Injury on special team making a tackle is something you worry about but not returning a kick. What's the difference in kick returning and running through the middle of the line?

Re: Punt Return Options
 

Now that's an intelligent answer. ANYTIME you're on a football field, you can get hurt. I guess if you've never been there, you just don't know. Calling someone statement ridiculous, is just ......well ridiculous.
Well thought out.

Re: Punt Return Options
 

Folks seem to forget the number of punt returns that Reggie ran backwards losing yardage last season.

It's also critical that Reggie not get overloaded with work that he's less effective in the offense.

Finally, this coaching staff hasn't giving any indication (to me at least) that their judgement isn't sound. If they believe that Moore is the answer in the return game, I'll trust it until there is a justification not to do so.
