One of the things I'm looking for over the next month is to see how the Broncos handle the return game. I went back to NFL Rewind (great product/app if you are killing time prior to camp) to start watching the games and just got done with week 1 and 2 vs. Baltimore and the Giants. Holliday got in trouble fielding bad punts in game 1 and Wes came on and did the exact thing fumbling inside our 10 giving the Ravens an easy score. Holliday went on to break open the game in the 4th quarter vs. the Giants at NY. The guy was hardly MR Reliable with his fumbling issues and with little field awareness but he gave us a lot of big plays out of the return game which we haven't had for a long time.
Who do you predict winning the punt return and kick return jobs? I think Tony Carter, Bradley Roby, Andre Caldwell, Ronnie Hillman, Omar Bolden, Cody Latimer, and Emmanuel Sanders will all be given opportunities to prove themselves. I think with Welker's head injuries, outside of fair catching on tight punt situations, I doubt he goes out there. Sanders projects as a starter so I'd probably take him off the list as well. Hillman has the speed which could create some big plays but like Holliday, has had fumbling issues. Cody and Caldwell might be the darkhorses. Also, watching Bolden, he has great speed and if I recall, I know he's had some big special teams plays in college.
