The league average for yards per punt return is about 10.2 - even just getting someone who is AVERAGE would be gaining us 4-5 yards per return.Or, to put it another way...we had 26 punts returned for a total of 146 yards. Again just an "average" return bumps that up to ~265 yards on the season.Looking at our roster right now the #6 WR (yardage wise anyways) is Heath, who finished with 6 rec for 86 yards on the season. Now to be fair this is just an "ideal" replacement in theory, as i don't know who that player actually would be for us - but if we could find someone who is consistently a league-average returner (And I am not considering at all right now the impact our ST as a whole has on the returner themselves, lol)...would that not be worth rostering instead?</blockquote>
