He fielded the punt fine... he fumbled on the return.
Second - it was a bonehead decision by Kupp... no doubt.
Third - of course I'm talking about the decision to put him back there. If I wanted to bring up yes or no pineapple on pizza I would have said that.
I don't have nearly the problem one do with him being back there. Additional risk of injury to an important player? Of course. But he has fielded the punts beautifully over two game - not even a bobble - and that's huge. Judgment on whether to fair catch or not - well, we all expected better of him, didn't we? Remember how Tavon had us wincing for a while there, even as we understood his game-breaking return abilities?
Again, Kupp's back there PRECISELY to avoid the kind of boneheaded decision he made. If he's going to make bad decisions a "lesser" player like Webster might make, them by all means take him out.
I'm fine w/the pros/cons, as I see them, of having him back there vs. someone else.
