ALLEN PARK -- Andre Roberts is averaging 20.0 yards per kickoff return, and hasn't returned any of them longer than 25 yards.
That's not very good, especially in an era when touchbacks are automatically returned to the 25-yard line.
But coach Jim Caldwell offered Roberts another vote of confidence after Sunday's 34-27 loss against Green Bay -- a game in which Roberts averaged 22.7 yards on three kickoff returns.
"Certainly," Caldwell said, when asked if he were comfortable with Roberts as the return man. "Certainly."
Roberts has also handled to punts, to similarly pedestrian results.
