Anyone else pick up on the fact that BB will situationally choose NOT to return a punt? And when he decides to play it safe he takes Welker out and puts Faulk in.
Faulk's job? Secure the possession and give the ball to Brady and Co.
Against the Jets, the commentators mentioned that Faulk has returned 9 punts this year, and all of them fair catch. That's one of those factoids that struck me as "not a mistake". BB talks about situational football, and he is precisely the kind of guy who would have a specialist to return punts and another specialist to fair catch punts.
Obsessive? Maybe. Brilliant, too.
