Is Hobbs Nyberg really our best option?

Truly great teams can kill you with a big kick return when other units are struggling. We have amazing kickers, but I’ve seen nothing to indicate that Hobbs Nyberg poses any kind of challenge to kick coverage units. Against ASU he had a golden opportunity for a big return - the ASU punter waaaay overkicked the coverage, but Nyberg muffs the punt and has to fall on it for a 5-yard loss.


IMHO, trotting him out there to return punts kind of feels like a surrender. What am I missing?
