    If hes good at it and helping the team why not let him. Didnt Revis return a couple punts. These guys are atheletes and are used to taking hits and if theres anyone who takes a beating and keeps going its Bart Scott.

    There's a reason starters generally don't participate in special teams. In limited situations I can see value in plugging in starters, but as a permanent position, I don't like it.

    Go back and read the second sentence again. That's at least a foul tip.

    This is a non-issue. Putting the better players on the field is a calculated risk all of a sudden? He's as likely to get injured playing his normal position.

    I think this means we're in the market for a backup LB.

    I'm not sure what the point of this move would be. If we don't have backups that can block well on returns then that's a problem.

    I dont think Revis will ever return a punt in the NFL ever again.

    Westerman was pretty serviceable in his spot duty, I'm surprised he didn't get more time to be honest. I mean, it took him less than a game to surpass Gholston career sacks.

    Can't use Leonard or Cotchery to return punts.

    Can't use Scott on the punt return team.

    It's like 6 or 7 plays per game. Stop treating the players like ballet dancers and let them play football.
