Having been a punt returner, I can say what you want to look for is a guy who fields the ball like a good outfielder making a routine catch. You want to see glide, looseness, ease in tracking the ball and soft hands. Tenseness at the point of the catch is deadly. This requires some fearlessness. I don't know how else to say this, but when I watch Ross settle under the ball his look makes me nervous. Just not natural enough. After the catch he looks like he has some good stuff going on, but Job #1 is don't drop it. This is not to say I endorse Cobb's continued work returning kicks...that's a risky proposition. But there needs to be a solid alternative.</blockquote>
