Removing Lenoir from punt return situations is, without doubt, a certainty. It surely doesn't look good for his making the active roster, either.

The way he looked last night on those punts makes me believe he can't catch a punt even if he uses a soccer net.........................

That's a fireable offense if he's kept, PERIOD. Same if we keep Green.

There are no "fireable offenses" other than making Jerry feel unwelcome.

 

[blueblood70]

Based on that interception and the route he ran, he's not much of a receiver either.

And if he's NOT the punt returner, exactly who IS? He's the only guy I've seen the team use back there.

he was getting much neded reps experience etc to be an option not the starter.. Beasly, Austin, &Thompson can fill this role without much practice

In my opinion, Beasley has never been a returner. The only thing the guy does is fair catch.

And Austin was quickly removed from punt returns in Los Angeles last year after fumbling five times on returns.

Not sure about Thompson but I thought he was just a kickoff returner.

Tavon should be the kick returner/punt returner. Lenoir is a liability.

Thompson will return Kicks, Austin punts.

They have known ST roles with lots of NFL game tape.

Lenoir was going to have to prove he could ace special teams assignments to beat out Thompson.
He likely gets another year on the PS to improve at ST.
Miles Austin and many other guys followed that route.
Its typical.

You answered your own question their brother.
Beasley is the safe option and Austin the explosive one.
DAL can choose based on situation.

Thompson will handle kick offs.

Lenoir was really bad on punts but the coverage duties were flat out terrible too.
He can't help you right now on special teams and unless you can make the top 3 WRs you can't make the team without special teams work.

You're likely exactly right. I just hope Austin does a better job of handling the ball.

His history there scares me. Feast or famine.

I definitely think that Lenoir found a way to play his way off the roster.

Yea I'd largely play Beasley there considering we are a ball control defensive team it appears in 2018.

But when we need a little juice and the other teams punts form deep? Toss Austin out and see what happens I guess.
I am hopeful Sanjay Lal's weird brick grip drill will improve Austin's hand/wrist strength and thus ball security.
Hard not to improve off worst ball security in the league.

Early "returns" have been promising. (Pardon the pun)

Austin has looked good thus far.
