To some extent I appreciate that the coaching staff wants to get more aggressive on punt returns, but some of those returns were downright risky on Saturday. I thought he was going to dial it down late with the lead but he still dove into traffic to make a fair catch.

Just curious how everyone feels.

I'm sure it's just us, but he scared the hell out of us several times.

I'd like him to take chances. Until he fumbles another one.

I've been very unimpressed with OBJ since North Texas. Makes me nervous on every punt return and I exhale with relief everytime he catches or doesn't fumble at this point.

he needs to know when to take chances, and when not to.

OBJ is the real deal. I think he has been trying to do too much. He has since lost his swagger nad his confidence. He was easily the best hands on this team to start the season.

But the drops have gotten worse and the 2 fumbles have cost us the Florida game IMHO. and & against Washington.

I still have faith in him. Maybe blind and it may be dwindling but he can do it.

He's been scaring me since UNT. I wouldn't mind seeing JL80 or RS10 a shot at returning some though. Hell, if Ford can return punts like he does kicks, I want to see him back there.

I'll agree with that. I think he will be amazing next year, but this year becoming the primary kick returner as well as the number 1 receiver was probably too much too fast. Hope last Saturday was the beginning of a good thing... but I would still like him to play it safer when we have the lead!
