Ginn/Bess

Okay, there is a distinct difference in the return abilities between both of these guys.  Devon Bess is more of a Welker like returner who is not going to bust a 90 yard punt/or kickoff for a TD.  This is supposed to be a guy who is safe with the football and help with stability just as Welker did.  Ginn on the other hand has the ability to break a return wide open, his hands are much more in question than Bess (even though Bess had the ball stripped from his hands in the SD game). 

My solution is that I would like to see Ginn return kickoffs and keep the punt duties in the hands of Bess.  Sometimes I believe Ginn hears footsteps when returning punts.  Yesterday there was an instance where Ginn could have made a catch (fair) and save possession yards for the offense (approx 20 yards).  The next one where he had a return of 11 yards he dropped the ball and if the punt was not a bomb like it was it could have been a turnover.  Last year I recall where he had a turnover in the Buffalo game @ Buffalo....The Dolphins need to have a guy with sure hands and can limit mistakes when returning punts.  Bess also is a more shifty guy where making the first guy miss in punt situations suits him much better than Ginn who thrives on pure speed.

Ginn is too valuable as a return man to keep him out all together.  He has room to make moves and plays in the kick return game.  It is not going to take too much away from his duties in the passing game. 

Thoughts?

agree wholeheartedly

Been saying this for a while Ginn should be back on kickoffs. That’s his specialty. He has unbelievable straight-line speed and on kickoffs he gets a 20 yard running start. About Bess on punt returns, I can’t say it any better than you did.

On this team, we are all united in a common goal: to keep my job.
