Alexander stresses special teams' need to improve

Despite Washington's poor production on punt returns and Coach Jim Zorn's comments earlier in the week about his intention to shake up the returner lineup, slot receiver Antwaan Randle El has retained his role as the primary returner for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, Zorn said. Randle El will receive more help from cornerback DeAngelo Hall and top receiver Santana Moss, though Zorn would not reveal how much. This can only mean one thing: it's time for another installment of "Special Teams Saturday with Lorenzo Alexander." Okay, so what's the deal with the punt-return game? "We've just all got to do a better job," Alexander said. "No matter who's back there, whether it's El, DeAngelo or Santana, we have to give them a chance to make some plays back there. That's just the bottom line." (link)
