Does AB get punt return duties back?

    My bad I missed the AB part...I have no problem with him fielding punts...IMO a greater chance of getting hurt playing WR than returning punts ...When playing WR he has to depend on the QB to help protect him, as a punt returner he can protect himself .He has the ability to fair catch ,he can run out of bounds , he can just dive on the ground, he can slide , you get the point ...The biggest key is there is no real blind side and very little threat of getting hit from behind...

    Yeah if AB is gonna get hit from behind it will probably just be from Wheaton. LOL!

    I think it's very unwise to have AB return punts.. .. Seems like another dumb choice of Tomlins IMO

    I think we're we are now in the schedule and what we need to do to get into the playoffs, we need to pull out all stops in all phases and put your best players in who ever that may be. We only have 4 games left in regular season play and we don't want a miffed punt or kickoff to ruin your season. Make the changes next year but now you have to roll the dice and put your best players out there, even on special teams if need be.
