Felix Jones better be returning Kicks! I'm not sold on this dude being that much better than Julius as a RB, but the dude looks pretty good on kickoff returns! I dont care if he might get hurt doing it, we'd be screwing ourselves and Jerry wouldn't be getting his money's worth, if we didn't use him on kickoff returns.

Adam Jones better be returning Punts! Suddenly we're loaded at CB, therefore PacMan becomes expendable, so if he gets injured returning a punt and cant play as a Nickel DB, it wont kill us. PacMan is deadly as a Punt-Returner! No excuse for not using him as such!

Miles Austin was good as a Kick-Returner, Felix Jones looks to be as good or better... Besides, I'm not sure Austin will make the team with the arrival of Amendola... I've seen him play many times, not as much upside as Miles Austin, but he's solid like Crayton.

So do y'all agree? Who do you think should return Kicks and Punts?

Miles will start out returning kicks in pre-season and hopefully Felix can unseat him by the time the regular season starts.

Pacman should immediately start at PR, if I ever see Crayton doing that again, I'm gonna pull my ear hair out 1 stran at a time.

Austin gets consistent separation better than anyone not name d Terrell on the roster. This Amendola love is nice and all but get real.

All of them should (all of them = Newman, Jones, Jenkins, Jones, Austin, Stanback, etc).

Roll a die/flip a coin prior to each kick (separate PR from KR, obviously). Should work well enough.

F Jones returns kicks.

A Jones returns punts.

The best combo in the league.

End of story.

There are two kickoff spots. Jones and Scandrick are my choices at this point.

Pacman is an elite punt returner, thats a gimme if he's on the roster.

If Austin spends a few hours in front of the JUGS machine or with TRomo everyday learning how to catch, he will be dynamic. He was constantly open last year. The problem was that the ball didn't come to him or he choked when he did. IF he gets his hands together, I think he could be amazing. That is a big IF tho. :D

This is the off-season change that has me most excited.

Pacman will obviously return punts if he's reinstated, but it looks like we have a few other options there too with some of the draft picks.

Pacman can also return kickoffs, so I'd be tempted to put him back there with Felix as well.

All said, we should have a dynamic return game this year! :dance:

I think Dallas will use Austin or Scandrik returning kickoffs, I don't think they'll risk F. Jones to injury.

I want F. Jones and Stanback returning kick offs and A. Jones returning punts.

IF Adam Jones is reinstated, I fully expect to see that combo. Our kickoff return team will be feared by Week 2.

Just a prediction, mind you.

In Pacman we have our very own Devin Hester. We better use him for punts.

I dont agree that Felix return kickoffs. Let Austin.

Might as well not even let Felix play. He could get injured on any play at any time. Just have him sit on the bench and look cool.

Felix had better be returning Kicks.

That's what I'm saying!

What I meant to say when I started this thread, is that I'll be pissed if the Jones' aren't on return duty!

PacMan's known as an elite Punt-Returner. We have basically nothing invested in the guy, and plenty of depth at CB, ride him for all he's worth!

Felix is only a backup RB, and a rookie! He may be a better Kick-Returner, than he is a RB. He'll get what, 8-10 carries a game, if he's lucky.... I think he can handle returning a few kicks... We passed on the better RB, I'm hoping it's because they think Felix will be a good RB, but a dynamic KR. Or maybe they're just stupid, or maybe I am.... I just hope he's not JuJo2.0.......

Wow... really?
We may have plenty of "potential" at CB...(Henry gone soon, Jenkins we dont know about) after TNew we have nothing at CB... Pacman is not expendible just because we got him for a song.

If we dont resign TNew - we have a little less than nothing at CB.
