For all the time and emphasis MN says we spend on ST, our kick returning is atrocious. We need guys back there with some mental discipline. Most of the time, a fair catch is OK. Most of the time, we seem to return kickoffs (Douglas?) to the 15 and let punts (Helton) bounce on down the field. On KR, they should actually have a count in their head and only return short kicks or low kicks that get to them quickly. With all the penalties called on KR, why not just take the 25 without risking field position or turnover? Helton just needs to worry about catching the ball. Again, if a return is on, fine. But it isn't every punt.
