Yep, just IGNORE the fact the special teams blocking in Miami STUNK last year.
Also, lets also put the punt return in perspective. Welker averaged 9.2 yards per punt return. Faulk averaged 10.6 yards per return. A whopping 1.4 yards per return difference. That's not a lot. Especially when you take into consideration how bad the Miami punt return blocking was. Miami had to take 29 fair catches on 70 punts or 41% of the time ( 6 more than any other team). By comparison, the Pats only had to make 14 fair catches on 50 punts or 28% of the time.
To underscore your point, in '04, a bad year for our ST's, Faulk averaged 5.7 y per PR.
