Forgot to mention that

Good looking out bro, agree with you there. If JLH doesn't pan out as a returner, perhaps Tyvon Branch could fill in.

You never want to place players in bad situations. But the flipside, is playing your best players to win. I am sure there was a coach who did not want Deon Sanders to return punts either. Deon did, and was awesome at it. I can recall one "Tim Brown" who did a great job also. If I remember correctly, the Raiders were winning all the time back then. I say let Run DMc do his thing on Punts and kick offs. Get him in the game and let him earn his $. I want to see some "Wins". Go Raiders!

Too many chances is usually a bad thing.

McFadden on Kickoffs and Hall on punt returns would be nice

Along with the other 52 humans that make the roster. No more excuses for none of them.

I hope Im wrong but nothing about Skinny Lee Higgins impresses me. The guy has the physique of a anorexic man and all he has is speed. Like I said I hope I am wrong but I see Carlos Francis all over again with this dude. At least Carlos had some meat on his bones (no broke back mountain).
