Should he be returning punts? No, because he never really was a punt returner. I hoped for Coleman to be kept for that reason and they passed on it.
It could very well be the kid just doesn't have the playbook down well enough for Andy's liking yet. From what I've seen in preseason, it doesn't seem like a talent issue.

This is my gripe. I can accept the logic - get him involved, he's got good hands and YAC ability. But FFS it's a new skill he's having to learn. Just let him learn in the areas he's shown ability first. We have a collapsing OL and absolutely no-one else on this team getting early separation. Maybe he won't do that, but let's see.
With a bit of luck someone will notice this sooner rather than later and increase his snaps. With further luck this punt-return nonsense won't have dented his confidence too much.
