I'm not sure what our average starting position is on offense, but it seems we have been losing this battle consistently throughout the season.

We have no return game whatsoever and Beasley has been ultra conservative with fair catches and letting punts just drop. Even when Tavon Austin was healthy, he couldn't do anything.

What is the problem on the return team?

This issue needs to be fixed.

Much of the problem against the Skins was about where the Skins were when they punted vs where the Cowboys were when they punted.

A good punter that is punting from mid-field can get a lot of hang time and put the ball down around the 5 or 10 yard line.

The Cowboys punter had to focus on distance because he often punted standing in the endzone.
 
Beasley has never been much of a returner. He doesn't fumble much though and that seems to be good enough for this staff. More of a punt catcher than anything. I don't understand why it's so hard for them to find a decent returner.
