Probably a dumb question...

In this TP article discussing Bush's status for Sunday:

New Orleans Saints not ruling out Reggie Bush against Tampa Bay Buccaneers | New Orleans Saints Central - - NOLA.com

Whether or not he is active Sunday, Payton indicated that Bush might not be available to return punts. That leaves the Saints thin in that department. Their backup punt returners are receiver Lance Moore and cornerback Tracy Porter, both of whom are sidelined with injuries.

Receiver Devery Henderson, tailback Pierre Thomas and safety Darren Sharper have been taking reps in practice as punt returners. Henderson and Thomas have never returned a punt in the NFL. Sharper hasn't returned one since 2004.

Why not have Roby return punts? Is it really all that different from returning kickoffs? It isn't like Roby hasn't had returns of 80+ yards including a TD in the last month.

A dumb question I guess.
