We have other guys who could do it, like perhaps Marlon Humphrey or ArDarius Stewart. But what do you think of the idea of Drake handling some returns?

Yes, he'll have a HUGE role on offense and we don't want him getting hurt, he may be the best man for the job. He could house a lot of kicks. Let someone else do punt returns, like Stewart. He'd be great at it.

I like Stewart better in that role. Drake has fumblitis.

I've given up on the return man situation. I think the last time we had the right man doing the job, it was Javy, and he was grandfathered in.

Maze was a really solid return man. Who would you have rather had returning in 2011?

Maze wasn't bad. I'd forgotten about him. I think he was a lot better suited to punts than kickoff's though.

I'd go Cyrus Jones or ArDarius Stewart...perhaps Bradley Sylve on KO returns. Chris Black would be a solid option on punt returns.

Speed guys- KO return
Shifty guys- Punt return


Maybe it's just me but I think Marlon Humphrey is/was a bit overrated. He has elite straight-line speed but he's stiff/rigid and lacks top-level flexibility and agility IMO.

Interesting. I did not watch him in high school.

I disagree. Just my opinion.

I want Cam Sims returning punts, Stewart and Tony Brown back on KO returns.

Is Cam fast enough to make an impact as a returner? Probably a stupid question.

He's 4.5, but he's shifty and I'd like to see how well he can switch between reading the depth of a punt and reading the coverage.
