[CBFF] FW: Mully checks in from Florida: Brown to start at FS

[Steve Behrens]

Part of that significant contribution has to do with the extra 15 yards he
gives the offense when the opposition kicks it out of bounds or squibs it.
It's not like he's getting the ball every kick-off or punt these days....
he's lucky to get 50% of kicks to run back.  IOW, just having him stand back
at the 20 yard line helps the offense, with odds that he's going to do
nothing but rest anyway.

I hear what you are say'n, but I still think you need to put him back there
for every kick return... period.
