Having Cadet back on punts would really scare the hell outta me.

Muffing a punt would be exactly the reason you would remove someone from punt return duties. The only thing totally unforgivable on a punt return is to lose possession of it to the other team.

Ironically Sproles had the same issue the game before, but chances that will ever happen again are almost 0. He is our safest option to field punts. That ability can't be taken lightly. You simply don't just try another option to see how it goes.

Same reason a good running back will be benched (see Reggie Bush and Steven Ridley this past week) when they fumble. It's not tolerated.

Lelito as a blocking fullback was absolutely money!

Did I read that right almost the whole OLine is jacked up? Dang this game with Atlanta is going to be rough.

Sproles muffed a punt against the Cowboys. Also, it was Lance Moore who muffed the punt against the 49ers. I think we should have Cadet doing the punt returns to save Sproles for the post season.

Who's been muffing those field goals?

HE still has a job.

Alaska

Blessing in disguise I hope. Keep him out of punt returns and keep him ready for Offense.
