Our new punt return formation, do we keep using it?

I noticed during the game against San Fran we did the Madden video game punt return formation and had an extra blocker right in front of Ginn. Do we do this against the Pats? Is it easy to exploit this formation with a punt fake?

It was obviously successful seeing as how Ginn was about 1 or 2 broken tackles away from busting one or two punt returns to the house.

I always bring back a guy in madden to take out the first guy, it seems like people would use it in the nfl and not try to block the punt, since it rarely happens anyway, and drop back to protect a fake punt. I would think the stats would back me up in guessing a punt for a huge gain/td happens way more often than a blocked punt.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
