Our Punt Return Team is a comedic joke...

Can Pat Crayton run any further away from the ball when it comes down?

And since T-New ios basically standing around on D - why can't he return them?:mad:

Newman standing around on D? ***? He's played very well this year.

Why would you say something like that when it isn't true? Just to be negative? Is that your MO?

I've never seen such a timid response from kick/punt returners as I've witnessed from Dallas. The guys look like they're waiting for God to part the kicking team right down the middle. What ever happened to catch the ball, run fast and hard. Our guy's are very predictable. Kicking team merely has to cover an "area" and just let the rest of 'em bunch up and they got us. I don't get that.
Oh yeah, what AsthmaField said......Newman ain't standing around. He's playing some ball this year.

It's sad when the coach decides to sit Price and A-Train so special teams won't suffer, and our special teams are among the league's worst anyway.
We're something like 22nd in KO coverage and 26th in punt coverage.

Maybe we'll get to see Tyson Thompson on returns this Sunday, we need someone with serious speed back there.

TT is worthless on returns IMO.

He can probably barrel forward for some big gains but is never a threat to go house.

I say use Price on KR and Crayton/Newman PR.

Wow, you're one miserable dude, you complain about everything. No, the Cowboys aren't the perfect football team, no team is. We don't have Hall of Famers at every position, no team does. You were probably complaining all through our 90's Super Bowl run. No?

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Purcells blabs about special teams every time someone mentions Price, but our special teams have sucked a fat one this year.

our return units have been horrible for the last couple of years. its not all about whose the fastest guy, you gotta have "it". youve gotta have vision. TNEW returned 2 punts in preseason, maybe 3. You could notice a difference in him and Crayton/Thompson. Not knocking the other guys, I just think its one of those positions where you either have it or you dont and it looks like Crayton/Thompson just run straight into the pile and thats it. :banghead:

Whats funny was last year everyone was pissing about Detric WARD AND PUNT RETURNING !

And he was top 10 in return average at the time. Price should be returning punts....give him a shot. Crayton is flailing to date.

I always liked Reggie Swinton, but the board hated him. He is a lot better than what we have right now.

I actually liked Reggie alot, and was hoping we'd sign him when he was released by Houston. But hey Parcells seems to think he knows whats best at everything.

The put return game is rather anemic, but its safe (hah). And it prolly is not at the head of Bill's laundry list at present.

Not according to Bill. He can't get through a PC without bringing it up.

It's nice to at least hear him paying lip service to the situation. Dunno what that means just yet. :)
