How does BBI feel about:
1. Saquon returning kicks?
2. Saquon and Odell returning kicks?
3. Saquon returning punts? (I'm not sure whether he did this in college or not.)
4. Saquon and Odell both lining up as punt returners in a gimmick look?
I'm in favor of all 4, but I know many on here still have Jason Sehorn nightmares. Assuming we do use Saquon as a kick returner, it should be an improvement.
They probably eliminate KOs entirely in the next few years, if not sooner

If we are in a late close game, I could see them doing it, but he is not going to do it on every kick off return, due to the injury risks.
It's one thing when have someone like David Wilson, who didn't come in and start and was drafted at 32 and wasn't one of the highest paid RBs at the position.
It's quite another when you draft an RB at 2 and make him a top 5 paid RB. You aren't paying someone that kind of money and risking him on KO returns.
Agreed, I wouldn't take the risk unless you absolutely had to. However, it would be fun to put Barkley and Beckham back deep as dual punt returners a few times.
It will be nice to see how the STs play now that Quinn is gone, one of BBIs favorite punching bags...and deservedly so.
No. Most people just use a sample size of Sehorn to justify their opposition to it.

Sehorn is certainly a random sample!!!!
Not sure what else caused it to be changed...
One incident that happened 20 years ago shouldn't have any bearing on the present.

I can't help but think if they were not more dangerous than other plays, why is there always talk of removing kickoffs altogether?
