Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 781676">To continue this pointless exchange complemented with the above unhelpful stats, the obvious point in talking about a punt returner "letting the ball hit the ground" is the typical loss of yardage vs. coming up to the ball and making a fair catch.  No data base is going to tell you that Davis lets this happen too often and needs to man up.  What good is it to quote an average yardage per punt return if a returner lets the ball drop too often or fair catches unless he has 10 yards of free run?  That's a lot of lost yardage that the stat sheet counts as a non-return.To state the second obvious point, only an idiot would run a punt out of the end zone unless there was no time on the clock.  That takes the Williams no-catches down to 12.  How many were just kicked out of bounds?  The stat sheet will not say but certainly some.Again, Williams is 35 years old and has not returned punts since 2010.  He would be the emergency backup only despite the fact that 8 years ago he had an appetite for it.  And if Williams and Rollins are the options, Davis' job should be pretty safe, chickening out too often notwithstanding.</blockquote>
