Kick return touchdowns have all but disappeared since they moved kicks up and changed the touchback to the 25.
I say the risk is worth it most of the time. Unless you’re getting stopped short of the 20 consistently. Getting special teams touchdowns wins games.

I don’t mind it too much. He’s definitely intentionally returning them at the direction of coaching.
He was one of the nation’s best kickoff return guys in college, so it’s a matter of time until he breaks one. Sure, he may get tackled at the 15 a few times; but he also may take it to the house.

Herein lies the problem. I think he and the coaching staff thinks he's dynamic at KR. He's not. Dynamic kick returners are fearless and explosive. Not hesitant. Think "Cheetah " fast and fearless.

He was trying to make something happen. I can't fault him.

I dont mind it at all. I'd rather see aggressive play than conservative on special teams. With that said, the 2 fake punts were a bit much. The 1st one I can live with, the second one was just not smart. It wasn't long ago touch backs were placed at the 20. 5 yards is just meh. Id rather risk the potential to score then gain a couple yards feild position.
