Re: Kick returner?
Kamara was a punt returner but I don't think he handled kick-off's. I would imagine Ginn will be that guy.

Re: Kick returner?
People say that Ginn can't catch the ball... Why would anybody want him returning punts?

But in regards to him returning kicks, seems he is better at that than punts. His punt return yardage is not very good. |

Re: Kick returner?
Travin Dural does not look like an option either. Never did it.

Re: Kick returner?
It's all good, though, because we'll be doing well to get more than about 5 kickoff returns all year. That stupid idea of moving the ball up field years ago has made returns almost non existent. Except when our kickers kickoff. They manage to come up short quite a bit. I'm hoping that was just McMahon's bad idea to kick short on purpose.

Kicking short is a good tactic IF you have a good coverage unit. The Saints didn't and McMahon didn't recognize that. One of the many reasons why he's no longer with the team. |
