It's not as bad as people are making it out. Phillips is 14th overall in punt return average. For guys with at least 5 returns, he's 10th and that's with at least 2 pretty backwards returns. They are 21st in kick return average but we've all seen what Wilson can do. I don't know how many new guys they have on teams but with Phillips and Wilson (who everyone screamed for) and Simmons coaching, i don't doubt they will get it straightened out.
This.
Over the last two seasons Brandon Wilson has averaged 28.5 per kick return (4th in NFL). I don't think he has suddenly lost the ability to return kicks just because he is averaging less than 20 in 4 games.
Sample size is a little to small to bash Phillips. He needs to work on his decisions, but I feel he has the potential to be a good return man.
