There may be some candidates to emerge....like this kid LEONARD HENRY...or even veteran DEDRIC WARD....but I think the days of BROCK MARION and CHRIS CHAMBERS days of retrurning kickoffs, in particular, are over.
The Dolphins really liked ALBERT JOHNSON last season...but he got injured early on....and now he is back to compete once again.
SAM SIMMONS is a guy the Dolphins brought in before the draft---and he impressed KEITH ARMSTRONG with his knowledge of special teams play...the what to do side of it. This is a very mature, married, good-character type of guy who can play the slot WR position, and play on both sides of the special teams. He is a guy that at the very least---you are looking at him on the practice squad.
DEDRIC WARD has told the team that he wants to return punts---but I really looks like the coaches want one of the younger guys to do this. I think he is in the mix....but not the top candidate at all.
I absolutely see LEONARD HENRY tried out as a kick returner....I don't see how he can make the active roster and if he impresses...practice squad.
I think the Dolphins have pretty much brought the retrurn game...to the forefront this season. They do not want to risk important people such as CHAMBERS and MARION anymore....they want somebody to really emerge and get the job done. JEFF OGDEN is hanging on......literally by a thread, right now....as the team has brought his job up.....with the old....WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS...slogan.
Personally....I am looking at either ALBERT JOHNSON or this new kid....SIMMONS....to unseat OGDEN...once and for all.
