The only thing making things more difficult for everyone is fear propagated by cowards. Now you want me to be thankful for a season of disrespect? No thank you on both counts.
Am I the only one concerned about 88 fielding punts?
Haven’t they talked about their SLB being a designated pass rusher?

This may be my ignorance but it seems rare to get hurt on a punt return. And if he's fielding punts like Tavon, Beasley and Cobb....he's going to be fair catching anyway lol. But I know they probably want to give Bones as much weapons as possible.I'm with you. I think the added risk outstrips the potential reward. If he were to get injured returning punts, the receiving corps quickly goes from 'great' to 'good'.

I agree. Special teams is risky for a rookie wr. I rather see Pollard than him.Am I the only one concerned about 88 fielding punts?
I won't harp on the Cowboys too hard for this but this is what 4th and 5th receivers are suppose to offer you. Especially if all you are going to have them do is fair catch. If Lamb can be a game changer back there then I'm ok with it. But if he's just back there because you want to get him on the field as much as possible? I don't think that's the right approach.Do I remember correctly that Dez was injured when he was returning punts?
And yeah, all Beasley ever did was fair catch, not much risk of injury in that. And no offense to him, but I don't think he's the threat that Lamb can be.
Tavon? Yeah, he should still be the guy doing that.

What can Mahomes learn from Dak Prescott?? How to hold out, lose the last game of the season and miss the playoffs??

I'm a big believer that you put your best players out there, whether its offense, defense and special teams. If Lamb is the best punt returner, a guy who can get us better field position and possibly take it to the house, I'm all for him handling the role. There's the possibility of injury on any play with any player.
I'll let you steal it Rocy, I don't have time today for all that.Boy they gonna hate this...this deserved its own thread lol.

I'm one of the ones that complained about field position but at the same time.......I don't see why Tony Pollard can't offer something from that aspect? There are other players other than Lamb who can return punts and have done it effectively.I don't think he'll be back there unless they believe he can be a game-changer. I think that's why he's already back there instead of trying ever other option before resorting to Lamb.
We complain about how bad we were in starting position last year, then some don't want to use a player who might can have a strong effect on that. Now ... if he shows he can't, then by all means use someone else back there. But if he can, then that can make be the difference between winning and losing.
