re: We need to work on simple fielding of punts

need to work on our punting too... <40 yd avg (without return) is pitiful.

I guess it doesn't matter when a wheel route is destined to go 65 yds. So what if it is 75.

Yes, was making me crazy watching the receiver run away from the ball.

Big negative for field position. Worry less about a big return & more about good hands.

Worth noting some, and at times alot, of that is on the blockers. Especially the gunners. If they do a better job of keeping the returner/fair catcher "cleaner" then we'll see both more fair catches and returns.

Keep in mind the goal is to return it. Not just not fumble.
