Who would you like to see returning punts? I can't remember the last time we had someone back there that didn't make me hold my breath everytime we fielded a punt (Pegues, maybe?).

Who's our go-to guy this year?

Ross did very well returning punts after the jamoral graham experience ended. Very sure handed and even broke off a few nice returns, including a pretty long one in the orange bowl I think. I hope we get someone returning kicks this year who isn't slow and actually can read blocks and hit the hole.

Fred Ross for punts with Gray or Redmond as the back up. For kicks it probably doesn't matter because whoever it is will just run half speed into the backs of the blockers like all our other guys have done most of the time… But I would put Gray back there with Shumpert as an extra blocker for him. Both of them stand in the middle until the ball is kicked then Gray go catch it. Dear and Holloway would be my next choices.

I think Mixon is going to get some chances if he doesn't RS. I really hope Graham turns the corner. Seems like he needs something good to happen for him.

Pretty sure I saw Graham back there at least once on a punt during spring game. I think he let it bounce.
