Returning kicks and punts is not rocket surgery. There's some basic fundamentals (I learned mine on the playground at 7 or 8 years old playing with some older guys):

1. Run forward
2. Never stop

If you don't have a lane, make a move but always keep it going forward.

Nowadays, you see these "rules" broken all the time. Guys running sideways/backwards, guys trying to make something happen... Occasionally, you'll see someone succeed at this but it is always the low percentage move. Catching the ball and falling on your face will gain a couple of yards and that is lot better than losing yardage.

As WMH mentioned, most likely JJ and D Manning will handle the return duties in the regular season. Demps and Townsel were just given a tryout. I will say Townsel had one decent punt return.... Demps not so much..
