I'd feel a lot better if Drummond was productive on the field outside of just special teams, but he's not. He provides a good returner in both aspects (kick and punt), but that's it.

It'd be hard to imagine anybody doing a better job of returning punts this preseason than Justin Phinisee. Randolph has done quite well, but Phinisee has just been electric just about every single time. He's averaging double-digits in return yards, which is sick. And again, Randolph's done quite good as well.

Meanwhile, nobody's looked good returning kickoffs. But you'd have to assume that either kid could learn.

But neither of these young guys contribute to the field either, so if you're going to keep a player that can't contribute outside of returning, why keep an injured vet that'll last us three-four years when we could have a good young buck that could last us eight to ten? We're rebuilding.

Just a thought. Maybe it's the fact that neither's looked good returning kickoffs that we acquired Drummond.
