i'm sure it's been tried or being tried but i wonder why teams don't just sky the punts real high to let the defenders get back there. that way he has to fair catch or just hit him real hard! he's pretty small, i don't think he could take too many hard hits. i don't mean to injure him but that would make him fair catch right?

You're absolutely right about forcing the fair catch. It's a good plan, but you've got to have a punter who can consistently do it. It seems like when punters or kickers try to do something out of the norm, they always botch a couple of them (kickoffs going out of bounds, shanked punts, 20-yard punts and, of course, the dreaded line drive punt.

Dante had a phenomenal 4-game streak that's highly unlikely to be repeated. It seems like he should get another one this season -- he's been close a couple of times, but so many things have to go right to return a kick all the way. Dante's also had a couple returns where I didn't think the coverage was that bad, but he made a couple moves and got away (obviously, the coverage wasn't that good based on the end result).

Cincy tried punting right to him and he nearly busted a couple, so I don't think that's the answer. Even the one against Denver, he'd been coached to just let it bounce into the end zone and didn't listen. Go figure.

But on the bright side, I'm glad it's not our problem.

reasonablechief,

your right it is hard to be consistant when trying to force the fair catch. punters should be able to do this, that's their job, you would think the could handle it. it may be a different story in denver with the thin air, we should be able to boot them deep into the end zone. hopefully that stops him, and that little x thing he does.

that is moronic...Rod Smith returned 1 punt for a TD and now Dante should take notes. Half of Dante's returns are straight up the gut...if that's not there...he tries to make something out of nothing. And as for the joker that started this thread...Dante never *****es at his blockers. If he doesn't return one...he only shows frustration in himself.

go back to the cheese board. every game i watch, dante is yelling at someone when he doesnt return one. it may not be every time, but he does it every game.

Sure is a lot of talk about Dante Hall on the DENVER BRONCO message board. Is there that little to talk about Bronco football?

How about the return of Jake?
Rod Smith performing superbly on special teams?
What's going to happen with Deltha?
How bad did not having Anderson hurt on Sunday?
When is Fast Eddie back?
Is Ashley Lelie finally ready to start playing up to his potential full time?
Is Invesco not the most awesome home track in history? (next to the original Mile High)
How long until Chiefkilla03 gets booted again?

Just a few suggestions

just kick it to the corner and contain him. hopefully, it goes out of bounds but if not, he wont have any room.

I am amazed, however, at how many posts there are on this board about the Chiefs. I think you Chiefs fans have really had an effect on the Broncos' forum.

I thought this was the chiefsmania message board??

more like the keyshawn johnsons of the board. bringing everybody down and about to get the boot.

One of the biggest reasons he returned the kick against the Broncos in the first game was that he was coached not to try to return that kick and did anyway. Seems like the Broncos didn't expect him to return it and were caught by surprise when he did. I may be wrong, but I think it did affect the return.

Rod Smith....MULTI Threat.
Dante Hall...Home run hitter, that is currently being shut out.
Enough said.
