Who Returns Punts?

Maybe an important but not always discussed issue is who will return punts? It’s important because a fumbled punt return can potentially cost a game and you need someone reliable. USC’s candidates right now are Ajene Harris, Jack Jones, Velus Jones, Ykili Ross and Deontay Burnett.

Special teams coach John Baxter would not say today who is in the lead. But at least Burnett’s known for safe hands, not that it will have an influence on Baxter’s decision.

  1. So, you say it’s important to have a reliable, sure-handed punt returner but that the coach’s decision on a returner won’t take that into consideration? You’re on a roll today. I suggest Chuma Edoga return punts then.

  2. On another note LAD @ LAA – bottom of the 1st….Scott Boras is ensconced holding up the wall to the right of home plate.

    • Alvarado, were you born in the psych ward or the drug ward? Because St. Vincent’s hospital does not have a maternity ward…you turned out okay for a druggie baby.

  3. What a great position to be in as a coach. So much talent. A concern is finding ways to keep players healthy, to many players injured during Spring practices​. I’m sure every team has injures, but man this is crazy.
