Rex Lists Potential Punt Return Replacements

 I get excited watching Kyle Wilson improve as a punt returner. I really think we’ve got something really good in the near future there.

I with ya on cro. Every time he touches the rock I think “touchdown”. When he got that pick aganst palmer and broke the sound barrier to split two guys I thought he was gone. All he needs is just a sliver and he’ll fly. I want to see it. I don’t care about the risks. Deion did it in his day. Let him go. He would bust one.

Yeah I think McKnight deserves the shot to go out there and atleast try one. And just like how we do for Wilson, add the safety net. Have McKnight in the back waiting to catch the punt, with Cotchery in front, like Leonhard did!

In the biggest game of the season (thus far), as we approach the biggest month and beyond, the Jets will surely look to keep the ball in the hands of experienced players. McKnight and Wilson have not proven themselves to the point where the Jets coaching staff will willingly risk important games in exchange for whatever potential upside – if there are any – these players may bring to the punt return game. Look for Cotchery or Cromartie on Monday night. Both have experience and have done in important games and possessions.

  First and foremost, because of the role Leonhard played on prs. He’s their “hands/head” guy deep inside the 20 and at certain situations late in games. With him out they need a similar player to fill that role and Cotch is the closest match imo. I agree that Cromo is electric with the ball in his hands, but I dont know how many reps he’s gotten with prs in practice, same concerns with Holmes. Also, Mcknight isnt ready for this spot yet, he’d be candidate perhaps in Wilson would go down, although then I’d vote Cro.
   Also Wilson’s been looking better and better on returns, but perhaps its a bit premature to give him full duties, especially when this team is looking to make a super bowl run, one drop punt can end a season and make you a goat for a long time.
