McKnight, Wilson possibly ? Someone will probably chime in with a better answer but those are the first 2 names that pop into my head
Will thier be returnable kickoffs with the line getting moved up 5 yards this year? Punts? As others have said, Wilson adn McKnight would be the top two possibilities. Cotchery is out there as well for that Job.
The CS really seemed to sour on Wilson in the return game last year. I doubt he'll be in serious contention for either job.
With kickoffs moving up 5 yards, there will be more touchbacks this year, making kick returners a bit less valuable. Westhoff will make one of our DBs or WRs the next good return man.
Agreed. I think that's why they let Smith go. His value was diminishing on offense (it was becoming embarrassing last year watching Shotty run with him nearly every time he was in the game, where's the confusion in that?) so his real value was as a return guy. With the ball being moved back to where it used to be there will be fewer returns, especially early in the season. You don't pay a return guy what he signed for in Buffalo.
