Punt Returns

We got burned twice today because of that rugby style punting they did where Niles couldn't get to the ball and it rolled deep into our own territory. Is there any reason why we couldn't have 2 back deep? I thought the coaches would have made an adjustment after the first one. Seems to me we used to keep 3 guys back there when TO was coaching... Probably not the biggest issue of the game, but I think it certainly was a big one.. Thoughts?

yeah why not since we rarely make an attempt to truly rush the punter

Also true. In a game where nothing is going our way, going for a punt block wouldn't be out of the question. But we get so many penalties, the staff probably just doesn't want to give them a free first down off of a punt.
