That's the only thing I see missing from our team. I wish we could trade for one.

Do you think teams continually punt away from Bush because he sucks as a punt returner? He is a huge threat. Teams can avoid elite punt returners like that. I do not see a team trading for a kick returner.
Payton values roster spots far too much to just get a player that excels at the return game and nothing else.
Good point. In fact, because teams are kicking it toward the sideline, it is difficult for Bush to use his speed to break across the field like he did last year. Credit teams for using this strategy. At the same time, it shows jut how much of a threat he is, and when you do not have punters like Feagles who has the experience to get the ball deep and near the sideline, then you can end up with the shanked punts we have seen at times from other punters kicking it to Bush. I would imagine that before this season is over, Bush will take two or three to the house.
I think Reggie has proven he is an elite punt returner in this league. We do need to improve on coverage, IMO
We have an elite punt returner and he has been doing his job the entire season. Teams are afraid to kick to Reggie, we get great field position off punts even though he doesn't get a chance to return punts. Give it a couple more games, some coach is going to get real smart and say, "hey, Reggie isn't returning punts like he was last year". Said team will kick to Reggie and Reggie will make them pay...and once again teams will avoid kicking the ball to him.
