With both Phillips and Wilson out, the Bengals also need a KR.
Morgan, Pooka, and Pratt have done KRs this season, with Pooka the best of the group at 17.3 YPR.
Neither Taylor nor Irwin has really ever done KR in college or NFL.
Boyd did have 46 KRs in college (24.4 YPR), but same reason people don't want him returning punts would be same reason for not wanting him to return kickoffs.

I've been wanting them to just roll with Pooka.. Get him some experience.. Dude is lethal in the open field..

I mean, it was an onside kick, but yeah, it counts
Pooka had arguably the worst KR game that we've had since Andre Caldwell was here and yes, people can rebound from mistakes, but the end of the season isn't the time to test it out, IMO.
Still think it'll be Taylor at PR and Evans at KR, with Irwin backing up the first and Morgan the second.

With Sled and others and want Boyd removed from consideration.
He is a great hands guy and probably even be the better than others listed.
For those saying he is a #3 WR on Bengals and being fazed out somewhat.
He is only one injury away from being the #2 WR, plus the Bengals usually use 3 WR sets already. Am fine with him doing it in a pinch like last Sunday or in a marquee game like the SB but not every day.
Just too valuable of a piece of our puzzle imo because the Bengals have 3 very good WR's but "the buck stops there" because the depth is just not there behind them at all.
Hope they find a serviceable solution so Boyd does not have to fill this void personally.
RE: Punt Returner Watch - Joelist - 12-15-2021
Tyler Shelvin time!
RE: Punt Returner Watch - BengalsRocker - 12-15-2021
Might as well put Drew Sample in there.
Gotta get those snap counts up!
RE: Punt Returner Watch - bfine32 - 12-15-2021
Wesley Welker was catching over 100 receptions per year and returning punts
Folks have already brought up AB
CeeDee Lamb was the Cowboys leading Punt Returner last year
Mecole Hardman is the Chief's #2-3 WR and primary punt returner
We can "risk" Boyd

I don't see a problem using Boyd. Yet, I favor Irwin. That dude protects the ball and can take a hit.
RE: Punt Returner Watch - Bilbo Saggins - 12-16-2021
I wonder how many punts Alex Erickson has muffed this year...

Chase would be exciting to see back there if we were sure he would catch them

I feel Chase would catch punts, as he seems to track the deep ball well. It's the quick hits he seems to have difficulty with.

THis is a great opportunity for Irwin. Reminds me of Erickson.
