Do you like Thomas as a kick returner?

teams are kicking and aiming at Thomas, instead of Turpin ... they either want the ball deep in end zone for a touchback,.

. or direct kicks towards the alternate KO guy (Thomas)
Watch the last game, Turp was the only return man back deep.

Wasn't Thomas a KO returner in college ? Experience returner ? That's the only thing i can think of .

Thomas just doesn't have the upfield burst to make anything happen as a returner. but maybe it's more about experience with Thomas instead of
dynamics as far as Bones is concerned.

One thing for sure, apparently Bones just does not think much of Deuce as a possible returner AT ALL

This further makes Deuce more so useless to this team to add to his inactive status that WILL end up happening, so long as RB injuries
will determine.
If I remember correctly, we have put Vaughn back there some, but he was inactive against the Steelers.

I'm not sure whose idea it was to put Thomas as a kick returner, but Bones must have saw something in him to let him do it. Instead, i'd like to see him more on the field replacing one of our starters. What are your thoughts on Juanyeh Thomas being a return man, not a pressing issue with the Cowboys, just something different to talk about!!!
Absolutely NOT. Dude shows no, instincts, burst or speed for a returner

yes bones would.

aubrey...turpin...anger...coverage teams ...blocked punts...
You take Aubrey out with his natural ability to make long field goals has little to do with Fassell. What you have is Turpin, who's probably the most dangerous returner who Fair catches the majority of the time due to no blocking.
Anger's ability to punt is his own. Again, has nothing to do with Fassell. But we're not top 10 in any of the punting categories other than opponent return yards.(5) Which speaks to the coverage.
I don't remember any blocked punts this season. I may be wrong but overall I'm not impressed with Fassell.
