Is Knowshon Going to Return Punts/Kicks?

August 18th, 2008 by Knowshon Zone

I just read in the AJC that Coach Richt has been using Knowshon Moreno in practice to return punts and kickoffs. My first reaction to hearing a star player is going to be used on special teams is always: NOOOO!!! Why risk injury to your best player?!

The AJC makes a good point though. Reggie Bush did it, and so did Desmond Howard. I guess the thinking is: Get your best player on the field as many times as you can. The more times Knowshon is on the field, the more big plays and touchdowns he can score.

In my opinion, Knowshon should only be used to return punts or kicks if the game is on the line, or it’s a big game like FL vs. GA or a SEC Championship game. I really don’t want to see him run on to the field for a punt against Central Michigan.
