Travis, from what you've heard and observed, do you think Foster has the place kicking duties wrapped up?

Great ST play last year. Let's you know everything else is working right when punts and FG attempts are down but the percentages and yardage are way up

Why not let Amari return punts? I think he would be a Javy type game changer there.

Sort of puzzling because if any of the hype about Griffith is true the answer would be no
Also, hope we can get a difference maker on returns. Loved hart at PR. Maybe sylve gets a look at KR

I would love to see Cooper or Black on PR/KR, but I sure would hate to see one of them get hurt returning kicks!

Cyrus Jones could be a dynamic kick and punt returner if he can hold onto the ball. The guy has electrifying speed. Dee Hart was showing promise as a punt returner when he got injured. I hope he's able to bounce back.

People say that all the time about our players getting hurt returning kicks. I may have missed it, but I can't even remember the last time one of our returners was injured while returning a kick/punt.

No, I think there will be competition coming from Griffith. Foster apparently got some instruction from Morten Andersen during the offseason. Be interesting to see who wins out.

Didn't DH twist his leg wrong on a return? In other word, it could have happened on any play. Didn't get his jock strap knocked loose on a return, if that makes sense...

He twisted it the wrong way on a wet field in the Ole Miss game. Same thing happened to D. White.

DeAndrew White was hurt while blocking at wide receiver, not during a kick return.

Special teams are the unsung one third of football; absence of scolly long snapper in spring will allow us to discover and develop some depth there; I expect a solid performance this fall from the new members of ST.
