So who is returning punts/kicks this year?

[EDS]

Seems like there are alot of options, and tonights game will be important for who makes the team. McGee, Brown and Coleman all have talent. Coleman seems the most likely to make the team, followed by McGee (b/c he is a 4th round pick) and then Brown. I like Brown's speed but that fumble hurt him. He also is in a tough position on the WR depth chart with Moulds, Reed, Shaw, Coleman definitely a head, and Aiken, Wright and Johnson in the mix.

I haven't seen any preseason games or practices so I can't say which looks best.

What are your thoughts?

No, you heard Sam Adams was "kicking back" in practice.

Based on some of the negative threads about big Sam it seems some might think he would be better at that then anchoring the middle of the D-line.

i also heard that our 2 deep men will be pat williams and sam "the cheetah" adams.

Well, Antonio Brown sure has had some moments as a punt returner this preseason. The D&C indicated in an article that Shaw was set as the primary punt returner, but it is hard to ignore what Brown has done. Two touchdowns!

I'd love to see them try Antonio when the real games begin. We'll never know if he's just a fluke unless we give a chance.

how funny will it be if a guy that people complained about drafting makes the roster and is a superb KR, when we have been bringing in kick return specialists for years.

I don't think A. Brown is a fluke. You either have speed or you don't. It's not something you learn. If he gets into the open field he's a threat to go the distance. I really see only one way he would not be the returner and thats if he starts laying the ball on the carpet. Knock on wood. He has to get the first shot at it, at least, in the regular season.

Antonio Brown was NOT drafted! He was a free agent from the CFL!
