DAILY DEBATE: Who should be our returners this year?

Pringle on kickoff and we've been so ******* boring on punt return for 5 years that I don't care if we have 0.0 return yards for the season, just catch the ball every single time and I'm happy. I've given up on even marginally expecting someone can flip a field on punt return. It's an embarrassment, but whatever. Just catch it and let's play offense.

I just have to believe the punt return thing is a trust issue so pick the kids you know are going to catch it and be done.

But I'm hoping this year there is enough confidence in someone to just say "Go house this one"

My expectations on punt returns are like yours. I’m not asking for Devin Hester, Roscoe Parrish, or Travis Benjamin results. I’m not even asking for KJ Osborn results.

My bar is set really low right now on punt return. But for ***** sake, at least fair catch the ******* ball and stop allowing it bounce in the field of play and set us back an additional 15-20 yards.

This year I agree, last year I was cool with it. We were scoring anyway and those extra 15-20 yards add up over time and made Cam have more yards only thing stopping Cam would have been a muffed fair catch or our defense.

I didn’t necessarily hate the conservative nature of STs last year. Just get the ball safely to our offense

Well this year we don’t have that luxury

But who the **** knows
It’s my understanding that if you are elite at fair catches you get the job. If you cannot extend a proper arm wave you can’t perform this duty. Also if you are dynamic you will not be allowed to PR.

I don’t think Pringle is Hester but that little fake shoulder shimmy cut back re-fires some of those old memories.
If his explosiveness translates to cfb and doesn't look slow at this level he will be a good one. But you always need to see how they look when others around them are as fast and athletic. If it stands out at this level he will be a problem. If it doesn't look as twitchy with these athletes around you its never a good sign imo.

Yeah, I almost mentioned the same thing. And these aren’t even 20 yard kicks with 30 yards of roll. They’re just sort of low 35-40 yarders. Where the **** are you, sir?? Come up and field the football.
