While I agree, they have sucked in the past, and certainly sucked last night, keep in mind that the returners that acutally played last night are not likely to be the returners come 9/11.
Hell, Demps and Townsel will likely not even be on the roster.
I fully expect to see JJ fielding punts, and Manning to be fielding kickoffs.
Blocking for the returners is another whole ball of wax, but until the final roster is set, I'm not gonna worry about it too much.
Kickoffs will be so much less important this year. I've seen some articles that are expecting the returns to go down as much as 50% from last season.
Punt returns will have more emphasis, so they better get their $hit together come 9/11.
