So, Who Are Our Return Men? - New England Patriots Forums

My hubby just asked this question, and I don't really know. I suppose it will be Welker on punts (although I can't remember him doing it much and/or looking good at it during preseason), and maybe Hobbs & Faulk on kickoffs?

Hobbs is definitely our best kick returner, but I'm not sure if he's going to still be in that role or not come this Sunday.

Definitely Welker on punts. They're not worried about him being a reliable returner.

Hobbs, Maroney? kicks.

I doubt we'll see Maroney out there. Maybe Hobbs.

I don't want to open a floodgate here.......and I know what the conventional theories are......but considering our continual injury at the CB position, I'd rather not see Hobbs back there. Maybe throw CJ out there after week 6 so he can earn his keep (cause we know he isn't getting a lot of reps with the 1st team offense).
