Nice article on James v Fisher for the spot of return man
If James hopes to beat Fisher for a roster spot, as the Colts will likely devote only one roster spot to a dual-returner, he will have to be so much better than Fisher in this capacity that the Colts will pass on Fisher’s defensive potential and choose a “one-trick pony” instead. Otherwise, James will have to rely on Fisher to play his way out of defensive legitimacy.
The only other way this competition will be sorted out is if James and Fisher prove capable of only fulfilling one return role. With 117 career punt returns for 1,371 yards and an 11.7 yard punt return average, James could separate himself from Fisher as a punt return specialist.
