Why is Bradwell returning punts?

[Will]

Hands are fine, but he isn't going to break one. Is there nobody else that Milanovich trusts to return punts?

I think that you have answered your own question here, Will. Milanovich obviously doesn't trust anyone else to do the job and he is just looking for someone who will secure the football. Sinkfield looked like a decent punt returner in the preseason but they might be worried that returning punts and playing receiver are too much for him at this point. It is frustrating, as a fan, to see our team have little chance of breaking a return though. I guess we will have to wait until Owens returns.

Safe to say we won't be seeing any more than four or five yard punt returns for a while. Although Bradwell made a sweet move between two defenders on one play down the sidelines.

Ya, that was a huge play he made. I was surprised he got the yards for the 1st down.

Well Trent Guy was signed last week so it is possible he'll take over until Owens is healthy. I thought the objective this year was to try to limit Owens' return duties so as to let him focus on his receiving duties?

He made a few key catches on the drive earlier in the game. I can't remember if it was the Mann TD or the Robinson TD.

Bradwell had a very good game the other night. Clearly he is not gojng to get a lot of return yards, but he is sure-handed and made a number of important receptions during the game. We're going to need more out of him with Mann now out of the lineup. I meant to mention that as far as I could tell Mann did not play a snap in the second half, so I was not surprised to learn that he has a hamstring injury. With Watt also on the limp, we'll soon be down to Natey Adjei in the lineup. Or Robinson and/or Dupuis will be on the field for every snap rather than in situations. They both played a lot on Tuesday, even on some passing downs, and it appeared to me that when they went to single-tight, it was usually Dupuis in rather than Robinson.

If they can get the ratio's right I suspect that Trent Guy will be returning on Sunday. Just read on the Argos transactions page that he was signed on Monday.

Argos need to find a return threat independent of Chad Owens coming back, use him strictly as a receiver, amazing how the Ticats keep bringing in good return threats year after year.

[Argocister]

I dont mind Bradwell.... the ball is always safe and at least he runs north south. We've had a few players running east west or only south. That drives me nuts ... and I think Milanovich as well as he commented that Bradwell knows the job and does it safely.

Owens had only been doing punt returns at the time of his injury. They no longer have him doing kickoff returns.
