And 5th in punt return average, which actually is shocking to me. I stand corrected I guess, but I can't tell you how many times I looked at what we were doing and was completely confused because there was no effort to set up a return. Let's just say I think we could've done even better!
I get what you are saying - I think it was situational - when we would benefit from a big return, we tended to block more aggressively and let the returner decide if he had room to move based on the punt.
When we more needed to just get the ball back and control the game either clock wise or based on field position, we had a less aggressive approach and the returner would immediately raise the fair catch signal regardless of who was returning kicks.
Maybe not ideal but I don't think it was just random
