Yeah, it subjects him to a beating. But I think he might be our best option, and special teams need to be more than an afterthought.

Punt Returner - Woodson?

Shouldn't do it. Woodson is old enough now that he's already on reduced practice during the week. Last week it was a foot, next week(s) who knows. Maybe, if the Pack is in dire straights, they could drop him back there for a return here and there, but it shouldn't be necessary. If it is, the season is over."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - Woodbuck

No No and No... I'd rather have T. Williams back there... I don't like the idea of the best player on defense back as a PR... T.Williams looked pretty good back there when he got the chance to play, I believe he had a punt return against Carolina in 07...

Because he is really damn good at it. Same reason I was ashamed to not see Donald Driver in on EITHER of the onside kicks. The game is on the line, Sidney Rice is outjumping people for the ball. So, put our high jumping wr out there to go upa nd fight for the ball with Rice.... or leave FB's and LB's in to try and do it.Originally posted by Brando19Woodson as the punt returner would be the dumbest thing the team could do. Why risk your best player getting injured? You just don't.
Seems liek a good coaching choice to me.
Look, Woodson is invaluable at CB, but when has he ever gotten hurt RETURNING a punt. I don't think it's ever happened in his entire career playing football. You do what is best for the team. If he is the best option, you play him. At this point, I wouldn't mind seeing Woodson on offense next to driver: At least he catches the ball.

2007 against Detriot... It kept him out of the Dallas game, and might have kept him out of another game...Originally posted by packerbacker1234Look, Woodson is invaluable at CB, but when has he ever gotten hurt RETURNING a punt.

If I remember it right, he got hurt by Tramon Williams.

Exactly, Packers11. And Scott...regardless...he got hurt returning punts. I don't care how quick he may be....Woodson should not be returning punts. The guy cannot be replaced at CB and if he's out...we'll give up alot of points...way more than normal. Charles Woodson has suffered from turf toe...why risk it when we have Jordy and Tramon?Originally posted by Scott CampbellOriginally posted by packers112007 against Detriot...

I'd put Swain and Nelson back for KR's or PR's.
No way would I want C-Wood back there. Is he dynamic? Yes.
But the risk of having our best player on the team hurt, no way. Nelson is fast enough and Swain could do it too.
Nelson is starting to crack into the top 2 in our WR corps, but I'd still have him return kicks.-digital dean
