How long has Miller been on the market? No takers? I think I recall character issues. Red flags.
Nah. Maroney is good enough and we still have Edelman and Slater if anything happens. We're good.

I think Maroney is one of the worst I have seen back there. I think we're giving the other team 5 yards on each kickoff return. 17 yards in the NFL just doesn't cut it.
Maroney could improve his return average by taking a knee in the endzone.
Ouch! But so true. The guy, whether its returning kicks or running the ball just doesn't seem like he wants to punish would be tacklers. Looking at Morris and Taylor, they seem to love hitting defenders at full speed as much as running through creases. I don't see that with Maroney
Morris and Taylor both got tackled in the backfield a couple of times this past Sunday, just like Maroney. The only difference is that nobody crucifies them for it.

A short memory you all have. Maroney has not been particularly good at returns this year, but neither has anybody else ont he team...which suggests that blocking may have to do with it.
Maroney has historically been a very good kick returner. He didn't return much in the last couple years, but in 2006 he returned 28 kickoffs for an average of 28 yards. That's pretty damn impressive. He has the ability, and I feel quite comfortable with Maroney out there.
That said, I wouldn't mind seeing what Edelman does back there either.
