    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Mike Prisuta, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports Pittsburgh Steelers rookie WRs Santonio Holmes and Willie Reid could be featured on punt returns at the same time. "Hopefully, both of us can come in and compete for that job," said Holmes. "But at the same time, if both of us can be on the field at the same time, I think it'll cause a lot of threats to the opposing team." Steelers head coach Bill Cowher said the thought has gone through his mind about having both players on punt returns. "I don't know if it has been done on a regular basis, but people have done it before," said Cowher.</div>Got this from KFFL.This would be pretty sweet if this happens because I bet we would see a lot of exciting things from them.

    That's how it was in Ohio State... Santonio and Ginn JR would both be back there a lot of the time. So he is used to handing it off, fake reverses and stuff on returns.

    The X factor!!!!!! Reid is the burner and holmes can fly as well. That would be sweet having those to back there. On punt returns I would have Reid.
