So who's going to return kicks and punts?

With munnerlyn's position at cornerback now arguably the most critical one on the team, it doesn't seem to make much sense to let him return punts (though he was damn good at it last season.)

To the guys covering camp: who have they been running the most at the two positions? Is Goodson still taking most of the KO duties?

Depending on how preseason goes, I'm expecting to see Goodson stay on the KO returns (he's gonna break at least one this season if our blocking is halfway decent) and then Armanti to take punts, if he's as good as everyone's saying he is.

Captain needs to stay solely at CB to minimize risk of injury.

Thoughts?

I'd like to see Armanti at PR. Maybe throw Smitty in a few times if our offense is stagnant and we need a boost.

I feel like KR will be a non factor this year due to the new touchback rules. Goodson can sit back there to kneel down though lol.

After watching last night's games, it is clear that there isn't going to be a whole lot of kick returns this year.

Not until the winter when the ball gets hard as a rock. I think you will start seeing some teams bring the ball out if they have a guy that is a real threat.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
