I like it. You play to win the game. Too many coaches don’t play the guys they should on special teams because their afraid of what MIGHT happen. Play the guy who gives you the best opportunity to win and in the case of punt and kick returns that means play your most electric players



Long ago were the days of McFadden/Jones returning kicks and Hillis fair catching punts.

as a headcoach you have to play to win the most games each season not just one game. you want to give your kids the best chance to succeed overall not just risk their injury to return kicks. it's a delicate trade off and tough call that should be made with the kid and team in mind.
