    He's got to get used to catching a ball with players flying into his face, as opposed to being on an island in the end zone. He was clearly unsure of himself last night, and I get a bad feeling about his learning on the job. Keep in mind, that was his first time ever returning punts, and probably didn't have much time to practice it either. I would prefer Kerley for a while, until McKnight has a few weeks of practice at this.

    I doubt it makes a noticeable difference, since only the ones run back for touchdowns have added distance.

    yeah, that pass to McKnight was a beauty. The best part is it creates huge matchup problems because McKnight is just so fast.
