Sports Buzz: Returner Job, McCain's "Jack" move

Landry said he hasn’t been told if he will be used at all as a returner, and James said has been given no indication how many returns he will handle.

Joe Philbin has told reporters to believe what’s written on the depth chart unless and until we’re informed otherwise.

“I will leave it up to [special teams coordinator Darren] Rizzi,” Landry said. “To an offensive guy, to have the ball in your hands [as a returner] is a good thing.”

Landry ranked fourth in the NFL in kickoff return average last season (28.1 yards) and 14th on punts (8.2).

James, in preseason, averaged 27.8 yards on kickoffs and 7.6 on punts.

More at link, interesting that our depth guys are both great athletes, the downside is McCain's new bulk has come at the cost of agility and James move means he is a risk to handle punts.

Upside, downside
