Should Tramon Williams be returning punts?

[RashanGary]

I think it's time to take Chuck off punt return duty. He's OK at it, but he's more than OK at CB and the guy behind him isn't. It's just too risky, IMO.

I voted Yes, but my vote really is "anybody but Woodson."

Guys, we NEED Woodson back there. I know there are injury concerns, but this is football. Shit happens. He makes such good decisions and you know he's not going to cough it up. You want Woodson on that wall, you need Woodson on that wall! (anyone get that?)

[Harlan Huckleby]

Maybe Woodson would be a good wedge buster for kickoffs.

I just don't buy that Koren Robinson or Tramon Williams or Charlie Peprah or John Kuhn or Frank Walker can't field punts.

[RashanGary]

I don't like Woodson back there. He's too good on defense to risk him at something he is average at.

[Brohm]

Woodson is back their because he loves to do it. I am sure there is some unwritten agreement to it as well. He said in an interview last week that one of the reasons he was pissed at the Raiders is they wouldn't let him return punts (or play offense). He also said he is having a blast playing for the Packers (and returning punts).

He is a "safe" returner so I would just keep him back there and let him have his fun.

I wholeheartedly disagree. I think Woodson's zigzagging return style contributes to way too many "illegal block in the back penalties" and he's too valuable to the defense to risk getting him hurt on returns. He can stay on other special teams units but not return punts. Tramon showed very good instincts on the pooch punt return, I think he earned the job hands down today.

K-Rob gets a big thumbs up for his big kickoff return as well.

Woodson should be back there because he enjoys it, is sure handed, and hasn't been an injury risk at all yet. I have no problems with his balls out style of play.

Good Point. And Woodson is not effective at breaking big runs. He looks like a guy filling in while the real punt returner is hurt.

He also had a fumble on a return a few weeks ago - at a critical juncture.

We all saw that first hand at the Chicago game. Regardless, I like him back there.

No, ball security is huge and if we lose a fumble off of a punt return, it could cost us a game. I would have rather have seen someone do it from the start other than Woody but now it is too late, too much is on the line and Chuck wants to do it and he has tremendous ball skills. I know we can't afford for him to get injured but it is simply too late to make the change.

i like woodson.. seems to get 9-10 yrds a crack CONSISTENTLY... and he fair catches it when its supposed to be.. hes smart and thats sometimes better than a young guy that has a little more speed

[RashanGary]

The only reason I like it is because Woodson likes it. I think he really appreciates MM letting him do it.

And to be honest, I think he runs out of bounce because MM tells him he wont' be doing it if it gets too dangerous. That is pure speculation, but if you watch Chuck on punts that matter (at the end of games), he always makes something happen and doesn't run out of bounce.

[b bulldog]

Would be a stupid move by MM to put a rookie back their now.
