I think the thing that folks tend to forget is that what makes a good return is not just the running but the blocking as well.
And if the return man for the Pack, whoever he is, has excellent blocking, then someone using just a walker would be able to return for a TD.
The other thing is that not every punt return gets a chance at running back. It can go out of bounds, a fair catch or the other team may down it on the 1 yd line.
From what I saw in pre-season, we have a great ah-fence being led by one of the elite QBs in the NFL.
So as long as A-Rod stays upright, we shouldn't have to worry about the kick/punt returns.
The other thing too about kick returns is that they are hardly ever returned for great yardage.
KOR averages just 20 yards. Punt usually about 5-15.
Big yards and a TD are a miracle.
So why there are different expectations of the Pack is something I don't understand.
