Have a good friend (who's actually been offered a scouting job with the Dolphins) attend a practice who said Nolan was the best Returner he saw. And this was before Sheets was injured. Said he took the best angles and had serious breakaway speed. Take that for what it's worth.

Exactly, decision making is critical for a good punt returner, imho that is why Bess is still returning them.

Hmm interesting on Randy Thomas. I really think our interior line (especially LG with Garner out) is up for grabs. I honestly expected the team to monitor Hartwig to see if he got replaced with Pouncey. Could have had Hartwig at center and put Berger at guard, but this staff really seems to want Berger at C.
