Dallas will be the primary kick returner. Don't know who will field the punts though. I would have thought Eskridge but they haven't used him there in the past have they? Maybe Njigba since he has good hands?
Except we don't want to lose our first-round All-World Slot Receiver on a punt return if he gets flattened like Wile. E. Coyote, especially after he is returning from a lengthy injury. Eskridge or Dallas is probably the answer if one or both of them stick.

I think the answer to the return game is pretty obvious. Seattle sends two first and two seconds to Denver to get skinny Wilson back. Not only will he be quicker, but at 5'6 the opposing kick return team won't be able to seem him well. Who doesn't want to see Mr Unlimited returning kicks from 9 yards deep in the endzone? Bonus: he can hide behind end zone pylons and no one will even know he's back there! :lol:

Why would Dallas be the primary kick returner?? He's terrible at it. Seriously he's the slowest looking kick returner I've ever seen. With all the speed on the team, there isn't anybody else that can take the job?

I suppose it doesn't matter much with the NFL basically dictating teams start at the 25 instead of running back kicks, but still... if I never see Dallas return another kick it'll be too soon.

Totally agree. I like Dallas somewhat but Houston we have a problem if he is the Kick returner. I wish that could find a way to bring that guy from last season back. What a breathe of fresh air he was.

Godwin Igwebuike, Pete says he wants to stay aggressive but it doesn't seem like it makes sense. NFL wants to get rid of kickoffs

Well they aren't going to do it for this season. I guess he only returned 11 kicks so small sample but would love if they found away.

btw when and why did it become vogue to call position groups, "Rooms" Wide receiver room, QB room, they will have a really good RB room this season.

Is it because they all now have their own meeting rooms? It is interesting how sports lingo has evolved over the years.
No doubt. Basketball is crazy. Tall teams have length. Guys that can score can score the basketball. There are more that just make me shake my head…but I can’t come up with them right now.
