Yes, but Robbins wasn't impressive with his hangtime either as it was only going about 35-38 yards most of the time.

We can do better than Brad Robbins.

Hardly any Punt Returns is the only thing I can say for Robbins and he has some hang time, but like I said, it is about 10 yards short
of what an NFL Punter should be Punting when freed up and not kicking against the End Zone.

If Robbins hasn't improved a lot in the off season, he won't be on the roster this year. They'll either draft or bring in UDFA's to compete with him.

With touch potentially being more valuable kicking off, I think he has a shot at taking over the kick off duties.

What will Simmons strategy be?

Is the NFL allowing punts on kickoffs this year?  Did Robbins kick off in high school?  He didnt in college, so that would mean at least 7-8 years since he last kicked off, assuming he did in high school.
