Well you don't really have the option for the TB if you're receiving the ball outside of the endzone.

Well, I guess you can let it roll into the endzone on a kickoff, but that's really dangerous.

Also Giles looks surehanded fielding punts. Not as explosive as other guys they’ve had but solid.

He's also making good decisions. Others have been more explosive (e.g. Chark), but made bad decisions. For example, Chark would return a punt for big yards, but the next one he'd call a fair catch at the 5 yard line. I get the feeling Giles is more than just sure handed and has the potential to break some big ones.

Absolutely. The NFL is a whole different animal - McMahon is doing a great job with this team.

I don't think this is true this year.

My understanding is that from this year on, you can fair catch the KO outside the endzone and it gets placed at the 25 yard line.

The punt return is just like it has always been.

TheST failures last year were inexcusable and all on Orgeron. Good to see he learned.
