Okay, so not very glamorous, but ignored nonetheless....lol.
Hopefully, we can pick someone up who can get some decent yards on kickoff and punts....
Pretty happy with everything else so far

Vareen could do kickoff returns. Won`t be hard to find someone on the team for punt returns either.

The issue was never punt return, as Edelman provided spark and homerun threat there. The issue has been kick return. Woody, Slater, and others didn't cut it. We need some explosion in that phase. Haven't had it in a while. I wonder if that new WR we drafted can help there.

Edelman was okay. I just recall him being inconsistent.

I think with a full offseason that Tiqaun Underwwod can take the return duties.

KR is a definite need. I may be the only guy that thought they should have held on to Tate last year. Yeah, I know he did nothing as a receiver. But there were 4 other guys who also did nothing as receivers on the team. At least he could do nothing as receiver while still returning kicks.
IMO The rules change has driven the importance of the position down- at least in BB's mind.

It may not matter pretty soon-Good-for-Nothing wants to get rid of kickoffs all together-and I can see it happening with the concussion thing. Also thinking about banning players from the league with multiple concussions.
