  1. 1. Should Micah Hyde be returning punts?

    • Yes, if he is clearly the best PR on the team
    • No, we can’t afford the extra injury risk

Winfield used to return punts and play starting CB.

 

I think it is okay for Defense players to return punts and Offense players to return kickoffs since each will get a rest after play.

 

Both result in the offense playing the next snap, so by that logic you'd only want defenders doing it, or depth guys like it usually is.

I personally think this is a routinely overrated concern. sit down and think about it..... do you actually see a bunch of major injuries to returners?

 

also plenty of high profile players routinely have returned punts. can anyone name one recently that got hurt and ruined their year?

The difference is on offense a player not being on next snap is not as critical (or player is on field but is emergency outlet/decoy) but if a starting DB is out it usually makes a big difference.
