    With all these young explosive players available why are we settling on Fuller returning punts? It makes zero sense to me.

    Pete values safety more than explosiveness. He wants someone who won't make mistakes first and foremost.
    true.

    on the one hand I totally agree.

    on the other hand, you have to have guys back there who can make those subtle split second decisions properly otherwise you end up with Aaron Fuller fair catching 100% of the punts and you never flip the field.

    Catching and holding into the ball are important. Remember Kasen being the primary punt returner? He wasn't getting away from anybody, but he didn't turn it over.

    Because he's a pussy who coaches not to lose. He needs to be more aggressive and take more risks and play the more talented guys that are less experienced.

    I think he’s stubborn too. He handpicked Fuller. He was even talking about how good of a punt returner he would be when we had Pettis.

    I mean, I understand that but shit, it just feels so defeatist. We have 3 or 4 young guys that are threats.

    If I ever see Aaron Fuller’s name in this beloved thread again, I will kill 93% of you before PAC-12 play starts.
