Is there any other option at KR?

Bersin has muffed punts and at this height, it won't do. Seattle won't settle for field goals. They will make us pay. I couldn't help but cringe at times when the ball was being kicked to him. Albeit it may have been the punter shanking several punts. I feel sorry for the kid because he is a good player, but I don't believe he is suited for returning kicks. Who else would be available in the roster? Bene? Fozzy?

So instead of using the guy who has fielded our punts pretty well up until last week, we're thinking of putting someone completely new into a playoff game at Century Link?

 

Bersin has done ok this year, yes he's had mistakes, but he still has experience successfully fielding punts in hostile environments and these issues will be part of his learning experience.

So that's a no, coach?

You gotta pay more attention to my press conferences

 

While Rivera has no plans to switch out his returner, he did reveal cornerback Bené Benwikere is Bersin’s backup. And in a real emergency, the Panthers would turn to cornerback Josh Norman.

“And if it’s Josh Norman, hold onto your shorts,” Rivera said with a laugh.

Bene is second and Norman is third according to the podcast

If you kept listening to the press conference, Norwell is fourth

I assume this is returning punts and not kicks.

If so, Philly needs to put in extra work in the offseason so that we can stick him back there. When he catches the ball he's good for at least 10 yards. It's just the fact that we're relying on him to actually catch the ball.

It would awesome if someone actually blocked the other team so the return man wouldn't have 3 guys in his face every time the return man catches the ball!

That's the truth... I'd love to see the ratio of fair catches to return attempts for Bersin. Obviously the guy isn't the long term answer at PR, but he hasn't had a real chance to show anything, and it's not like he is calling needless fair catches back there.

Cam, he's got the best damn hands on the team....!!!!!

[Captain Morgan]

has Hill ever returned punts?

[UNCrules2187]

I think I honestly might prefer not having a returner back there and rushing 11 on every punt

has Hill ever returned punts?

 

He returned a kickoff once in college.  He did get 23 yards on it though.  I saw a madden video of him returning an onside kick for a touchdown. Other than that...... nope

fozzy is shiftier than any
