Other than Dominic Dorsey and the guy from Edmonton does anyone in the league have a dangerous returner? Maybe Smart in BC. I get you don't like him but I'm not sure I agree why. He seems to be about as good/mediocre as any other returner in the CFL.
Here is the CFL link to kick return AVG:
http://www.cfl.ca/statistics/league/...urn/year/2008/
Howell is at 21 per return. Dorsey, Reynolds and Smart are all at 25 per return. But Reynolds has significantly fewer returns.
Howell is tied with Armstead and ahead of Dressler (SSK), Smith (HAM) and Reid (WPG).
As for Punt returns:
http://www.cfl.ca/statistics/league/...urn/year/2008/
He's at 9 yards per. That is about even with everyone else but trailing Dorsey (as everyone is).
Unfortunately I think you may just hate Howell for some reason as the stats suggest he's average at best like most of the returners in the CFL right now.
