I believe I read that the rules people suggested moving the kickoff another 5 yards closer (which doesn't mean the NFL will pass it). If passed I think most kickoffs will go out of the end zone and you don't really have to worry about a kick off returner (and I'm hoping one of the WR/RB will solve that, maybe RB Harris or RB Franklin?)


And the best two pun return averages from last year (of those with at least 3 pun returns were)

1)WR Jeremy Ross
2) WR Tandon Doss

I think we all know about Ross so I'm not going to get into that...

In 2013 Ravens cut Doss, and Packers brought him in for a visit/workout and didn't sign him. Ravens resigned him... and he was a FA this off-season and signed for two-year, $1.505 million contract (less than a million a year). If the Packers wanted a cheap good punt returner (that's bad on offense) they could of had one of the best.

And also for kick returner S Quintin Demps had one of the best kick return averages last year and he's been a very good #3 vet Safety and stop gap starter if they wanted one. He signed but it hasn't been released how much yet (I don't think).

It would seem to me that DuJuan Harris would be the best candidate as a kick and punt returner. If he for whatever reason doesn't look good there, Hyde was adequate, maybe more than adequate last season. Also, I have gotten increasingly negative about Jonathan Franklin, but there really shouldn't be any reason why a guy with his measureables can't be trained in camp as a returner. If not that, then what? - I don't see him as better than the 4th RB.

Would be a complete waste with the way the league continues to seem obsessed with functionally eliminating the kickoff. Now they're talking about moving the kickoff up to the 40, which means just about every kick's going out the back of the endzone.

Hester signed with The Falcons, no more worries he plays for The Packers.
