POST #1 TOPIC AUTHOR Seems like this is an area where there could be competition...Kickoff ReturnerLast year, our primary kick returner was Blake Countess (17 returns, 24.6 yard average), who is now an Eagle. JoJo Natson was second with 6 returns for an 18.0 yard average. Who will fill this role in 2019?Perhaps one candidate will be Darrell Henderson. He returned 25 kickoffs in 3 years of college (with a modest 19.5 yard average), and had 1 TD in 2016. Assigning him this duty could be a way to get him a few more touches. I think he's better suited, at 208 lbs., to absorb the hits than the 153 lb. Natson. If you're looking for a darkhorse candidate, how about Nsimba Webster, undrafted rookie FA from Eastern Washington (alma mater of Cooper Kupp and Samson Ebukam). He returned 48 kickoffs in college with an average of 23.2 yards, and ran a 4.40 at his pro day.Punt ReturnerNatson averaged 10.8 yards/return in 2019 (7th best in NFL) and nearly broke a few. He also had 2 fumbles, including the key lost fumble that killed a rally against Philadelphia. Can he be trusted with this role again? I think one reason the Rams may stick with Natson is that Kupp's return gives the Rams an option when they just want a sure handed fair catch (I don't think they'll want Kupp actually returning punts). Perhaps they could give Webster a try here as well in preseason. He only returned 4 punts in college, but took one back for a TD. Any other KR or PR candidates out there that I missed? by SpeedRacer 4 years 9 months ago Total posts: 389 Joined: May 31 2016 LA Coliseum Starter Who will return kicks and punts for the Rams in 2019? POST #2 Nick Scott did some kick returning at Penn State. If he makes the roster it will be via Special Teams. Probably not a punt returner. Side note: I am not a fan of punt returns. Especially with a potent offense. Every defensive stop is precious. Occasionally a big play return happens. Most often they are a 5-yard wigglefest with a ball dangling out for a gunner to take a swipe. I prefer a punt returner that catches it and calls it good. On particularly big defensive stops I wouldn't even put anyone back. Just take it where is stops. Go Rams!

I can’t stand when they return the ball from several yards deep into the end zone. Much more can go bad than good. Take the ball at the 25.I'm in agreement. It seems too many bad things can happen opposed to the rare big return. If you have a bad offense I can see it. With the Rams offense there is no reason to risk it. If they have a penalty that backs them up inside the 10 it changes the play calling to more conservative and too many times ends up 3 and out giving the other team good field position.

Catch the ball several yards deeps in the end zone, get out to the 18 or 19 and have an illegal block get called giving the offense a starting position on about the 10. A 15 yard net loss. Need one of stats guys to run this.We all agree yet teams run the ball out of the endzone more than any of think they should. There has to be a reason other than stupidity.I'd like to know what it is...

POST #8 TOPIC AUTHOR It seems like some teams are starting to deliberately try to kick the ball inside the 5 yard line on kickoffs in the hope of pinning teams inside the 25. I wonder if this will become a trend, or if just blasting the ball through the end zone will be the norm. by Gareth 4 years 9 months ago Total posts: 1207 Joined: Mar 30 2015 LA Coliseum Pro Bowl Who will return kicks and punts for the Rams in 2019?

I would guess it’s an attitude thing. People with egos probably think it’s defeatist to simply take a knee when you are capable of breaking it for a touchdown. To me it’s just obvious that the numbers are against it. Too many penalties.
