Seriously man.
I know he is good at it.
But really?
There HAS to be somone else who can do it. Edelman? One of the db's?

I feel your pain ... i hate when a star player returns punts. When Troy returned them I would hold my breath until the play was over. but it's all about hands ... perhaps Edelman doesn't yet have the hands to do it.

We've always had tons of starters on ST - they're important. Very important. I want him back there vs. some guy who sucks at it.

I don't think I want Welker returning punts right now either. He doesn't look anywhere near 100% right now, he's dropped a bunch of passes and doesn't look explosive at all.

Welker is fine for PUNTS...


Kick Off returns are the real suicide threat

TB=TD

Why not Tate?

Tate can't do all the above...

no way

As I recall it, Edelman was handling the punt returns yesterday until he was injured. Then Welker was the natural replacement in a tight game where the last thing you want is an inexperienced guy fielding a punt.

PatsChamp88

If you watched the game yesterday he wasn't the only one returning punts... I don't know why so many people are complaining about it who cares?

I didn't get to see it, but it sounded like Edelman had made a serious gaff late in the game, catching a punt at his own 4 yard line. Prior to that, Edelman, Tate, or whoever was returning kicks had been totally ineffective.

BB decides he's seen enough and puts Welker in, Welker promptly rips off about a 35 yard return to put us within striking distance of a game winning/tying(?) field goal. Got to pick your spots, and Belichick picked a good one.
