Risk outweighs the reward when one of the most dangerous returners in the world is back there receiving. I just cannot believe Barnett was not told to kick it anywhere but there. I have no idea, of course, but surely he was told that? So it was a bad punt, or he misunderstood, or he wasn't told, or he did it anyway?
It would be interesting to note what Barnett had to say.
