Well we tried that against San Francisco and we muffed a punt.

Cadet didn't muff the punt. Sproles did. Or maybe Moore. I forget. Not a reason to take them off return duties, but I agree Cadet should take over and let Moore and Sproles just play offense. Too much of a risk of injury which we can't afford at this point in the season.

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.

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.
