I think Blackmon is our chosen one.
But, we need 2 things:
1) Blackmon to stay healthy,
2) When he does get a TD, no stupid penalties calling it back.

Well, the penalties definately have to stop. It seems like our ST's are flagged about 1 out of 3 times we take a kick or punt back.
While they are apparently looking at a few different things to install to improve the return game what the coach needs to make sure of is that they stop the penalties.
It doesn't hurt so much that we rarely see a big return as it does getting a flag on a kickoff and having to start inside our own 20. I see that happen in games where the team is struggling and not playing so well and then we get that holding call on a return and have to start on our own 15. When your not playing that great having to start from back there doesn't help.
If the player can't get in position to make the block and has to grab the guy yank him off the return team for awhile and let everyone know that won't cut it. I don't know what our numbers are but I would think as far as penalties on returns we have to be one of the worst.
If the ST's aren't going to be a plus and make big plays at least stop putting the team in a hole.
