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.
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.
Could also be that he saw Fuller return punts in practice in 16 and 17, when we? were competent at punt return blocking.
I presume last year, early on, they saw the god-awfulness and told him to essentially wave the white flag unless it's perfect.

I honestly don't give a shit about our lack of punt returns when you consider how atrocious our kick and punt coverage was.
