He had a huge 49-yard return. I know it's risky but the rewards are also high. He's got the potential to take it all the way once he sees some open field.

Whatcha think?

It's worth using AK on kickoffs in select situations in the playoffs when everything is on the line. Payton needs to monitor his overall touches, though, so that he stays fresh and effective.

I like it too. We gotta get the ball in our playmakers' hands as much as possible at this point in the season

Everything is on the line in the playoffs, so I expect to see nothing less than the players that are best at particular positions on offense, defense, and special teams getting those snaps.

I like his potential, but everytime he gets hit I'm scared. I think he's too important to our offense to risk running kicks back.

A part of me thinks SP did it to help secure ROY for Kamara. That and to liven up the crowd and motivate the team.

I remember a big return during our Super Bowl year in the playoffs on a punt return by one of our regular backs versus the cardinals that iced the game, what was the guys name again lol

I didn't feel good about it yesterday TBH. I think Lewis would get the job done.

I don't guess it matters tho as most balls won't be returnable anyways

Yea I thought all year He should at the least return some punts on select situations.I do smell a big return in the playoffs from him a crucial playoff moment

Ha! You must live in fear. He gets hit every time he touches the ball. Punt returns, no, but he is illusive enough to not take the big hit on a ko

Agree with this. Love Kamara, but there was a point in the first half where it seemed excessive how much he was touching the ball.
