Kick returns are pretty much eliminated now. With a touchback going to the 25. We should never run it out. I would put Pickman back there every time. If they want to get cute and try to kick it short he could make them pay. With that threat he probably will be taking 99% touchbacks so its not like he has to take a beating.
We had 43 punt returns and 12 fair catches on punts last year. About 3.5 punt return opportunities a game. I want Pickman taking at least half of our punt returns. That leaves about 1.5 punt return opportunities a game. I am not keeping Tate around for that.
