Do we have a better option at punt returner than J Hall? I was really disappointed with his unwillingness to catch anything without 20 yards of space around him. It seems like it should be a coachable correction though.

That'd be nice.

Davonte Neal would fit right in there as a return man...

I liked what Jordan Hall did when he actually returned the punts. But he routinely either played far out of the opposing punter's range, or refused to run forward and field the ball.

Was it Fields who returned the punt against Toledo for 6? Kind of saved that game for us.

Yea, that was CF80.


Jordan Hall had horrible coaching but at some point you have to have natural football instincts...

Certainly we can find a better option that Hall. How many times have we seen him muff punts?
