Punt returns used to be so exciting for us

with Spiller and Ford. Everytime the opposing team punted we had a chance to score. I've really missed that about our special teams. But I'll take the constant winning and championships over that anyday. Would be fun to see what dixon or ross could do.

How quickly you forget what a weapon Amari Rodgers was on punt returns last season.

He has a torn ACL which is why we may take a safer approach unless some of the younger guys can prove reliable to catch the ball every time.

Dixon would maybe be fun but Ross' style of running does not seem optimal for punt returns. He could possibly have some success at kick return, but he seems to prefer wide open spaces to operate.

I think that is why we have so many slot WRs return punts is because they are used to catching the ball and trying to make a play in traffic in the middle of the field.
