Low risk(?) - Low reward for Giles a punt returner. Should Kirklin get the opportunity

One has to assume Giles is back there because he can field the ball cleanly. (Yet he sometimes scares me with his last minute adjustments to the ball).

Is it time for Orgeron to try someone who could actually do something with a return? We hear that Jontre Kirklin is "dynamic" with the ball in his hands. It's a gamble if he muffs one but maybe we need a spark.
Maybe KO returns too.

I do not know why this guy is fielding punts, if you just want someone to catch the ball, we have better receivers. There needs to be someone that is a punt returner. Usually those guys are not all there in the head.

Do what some teams do and make Giles the returner when the PR sets up inside the 20 (sure hands concept). Outside the 20 you put in the guy that can get you yardage.

Unfortunately the coaches know here and we don't. Because there is no reason Giles should be PR other than coaches know others can't field them securely.

Punt returns won't be a big issue in Bama game

Punter averages 35 yards a punt. Doubt we'll get a chance to return those

I can’t wait until we are actually explosive in the return game again. It’s pathetic and we need all the boost we can get.
