Why did #97 return a punt?

[SWC75]

and they yelled at him pretty good for actually trying to run it back and not taking a fair catch

I guess we can expect a lot of fair catches this year.

Did we really add a dedicated STs coach? Because, quite frankly, it looked no better and perhaps a little worse...

We added a RB's coach who also coaches ST's.

what exactly do we expect the team to do with punts that are short and well covered?

Fair catch and bring on the offense.
But: Missed extra point, running into the kicker, short kickoffs and punts, really?

we punted 3 times, avg 40 yds and zero yds return.. take that every game and go home

we kicked of 10 times , 2 into the endzone. they got outside the 25 twice. only 2 returns over 21 yds. they averaged under 20 yds a return. again take that every game.

the missed XP thats an issue not the missed 51 yd kick.

ran into the punter on one we got super aggressive.. but you don' t get to really practice full out kick blocking cause you dont want to hurt your own kickers.. good time to figure out what you can do.

And the missed XP was a poor hold. I know that's still a special teams issue, but it wasn't the kicker's fault.

Better question why is Ish returning kicks, just my opinion but we might need him to play WR and not get hurt returning kicks.

Starting WRs return kicks all the time. Fear of injury is the last concern I'd have.

Who gets to be 666?

You could get ten more two digit numbers of you used zero and then put a zero in front of 1-9.

So that's what Otto looked like before he donned the Orange?
