If you want to take a truly glass-half-full look at the Washington Commanders’ preseason, try this one. By surrendering 109 points over the three warm-up games, head coach Dan Quinn and special teams coordinator Larry Izzo got to take a long look at potential kick-off returners.
Hopefully, once the games start counting, the Commanders will not be returning six kickoffs per contest. But that’s exactly what they did in the preseason.
Eighteen kick-offs over three games. Four different players. Kazmeir Allen ran back nine, and Demetric Felton took back seven. Noah Igbinoghene and Jaylin Lane each had one return.
