Pollard looking like Devin Hester on returns....we need a return guy bad..
That would be nice, but really these days with the kickoffs being moved up, there essentially is no kick return game. The highest number of returns last year was 40, by several players, which is barely 2 a game. The best returners had 1 kickoff td.
The most punt returns was 33, again just 2 per game, and none of the top 6, yardage-wise, had any tds. In fact the top 10 returners had only 5 tds in a total of 257 returns, less than 2% returned back for a td.
Watching the games last year, very few punts were returnable, people complained about Beasley not being any good at them, but again watching the games by the time he got the ball in his hands there was no room to return them, he had to call a fair catch nearly every time.
Of course it's not all about tds, it's nice to have big yardage, but the best average was 14.1 yards, Beasley had 16 returns, one per game average, so few opportunities to return punts doesn't matter who's back there if he has 2-3 defenders right in front of him when he catches the ball, barring a Deion, who was an exceptional returner, team simply aren't getting big returns.
Returns aren't a big part of the NFL game anymore....
