I could easily see Reggie doing kick returns.....my only concern is how well he'll field the kick. He's dangerous in space and it could pay off.

Or not.

Over the last 2 years Reggie averages 5.4 yards per punt return.

That doesn't place him in the top 50 punt returners in the entire NFL.

Another Reggie myth. He sucks as a punt returner too.

What do our other punt returners average? I'm wondering not because I want to defend Reggie but because to be honest I think our blocking on punt returns sucks balls.

Lance averages 10.2, which ranks him 28th in the NFL and nearly double what twinkle toes averages.

But what do I know, maybe he gets triple teamed on his punt returns too.

There are variables Danno. How many returns for scores between the two? There are tons of variables that we could argue to infinity.

To be honest the pointing out every negative thing you can think of about Reggie stuff smells a lot like the times when everybody would point out everything negative thing they could think of about Aaron Brooks. It isn't an honest assessment of the player or the game.

I personally like the idea of Reggie returning kicks. PT is okay but really lacks the explosiveness. The playoffs started last Monday against Atlanta, no point in holding back now...
