Can't Anybody Else Return Punts? - The Orange Mane

RhymesayersDU · 09-30-2012, 08:42 PM

I mean seriously. Discuss.

theAPAOps5 · 09-30-2012, 08:45 PM

Seriously, that is one of my few complaints today. Leonard is slower than a sloth.

RhymesayersDU · 09-30-2012, 08:47 PM

What about throwing Hillman back there? I would say Moreno, but I'm guessing there's no way Fox wants 4 RB's active.

Cosmo · 09-30-2012, 08:48 PM

What about Bubba?

Plus we want the returner to go towards the endzone not towards the East or West stands.

Drunken.Broncoholic · 09-30-2012, 08:53 PM

Throw bolden back there. It's embarrassing they keep putting Leonard in. Fail after fail.

razorwire77 · 09-30-2012, 08:53 PM

It's embarrassing. Like I said in the game thread, I'd rather have a kid with wheels and burst put one on the ground every 25 or 30 touches than this. It's like death by a thousand slow paper cuts. There were at least two punts where Lechler out kicked the coverage and it should have been a 20 + yard return.

Hamrob · 09-30-2012, 08:59 PM

Yeah, I have to say....I've been thinking the same thing.

The one thing that I'll give leonard? He catches the ball and we don't have to worry about a flub or a fumble. But, he is rooted in cement.

DBroncos4life · 09-30-2012, 09:09 PM

I don't know why it's so Leonhard for people to know he has a H in his name

He's so fast the "h" gets left behind.

*rim shot*

No way he is slower than Orton

Maybe we remember when he actually gets some speed or gets off the field. Truth be told, he hasn't been on team long enough and is so insignificant I don't really care.

Swedish Extrovert · 09-30-2012, 09:24 PM

You can never please everybody.

Leonhard hasn't dropped any... and he always gets positive yardage. Not much more you can ask for... I'd rather have that than have someone who COULD take it to the house, but is more likely to fumble.

Broncobiv · 09-30-2012, 09:25 PM

Come on, there are still idiots that spell our players' names "Dumerville" and "Magahee". It's pathetic.

That's the only thing that seems to hold up as a semi legitimate reason for him being the guy and we're just assuming this because we haven't seem him do it. It seems odd the coaches can't find someone more suitable who they can also trust not to flub on an entire NFL roster.

SoCalBronco · 09-30-2012, 09:26 PM

Sign Kevin Kaspar out of retirement.

I still remember when Mock called him the "great white hope who shaves his balls" 10 years ago.

Yeah, name spelling. Pathetic. Oh the humanity

SonOfLe-loLang · 09-30-2012, 09:35 PM

Yeah, i really dont care unless he fumbles them.

You'd just think it wouldn't be too hard to learn to spell the names of some of the best players on the entire roster. Leonhard I can understand because he is new this season and not really a key piece, but the others? I don't think it's too much to ask.

Drunken.Broncoholic · 09-30-2012, 09:38 PM

iPhones correct the name to Leonard. Even a smartphone realizes the H is slowing him down.

fwf · 09-30-2012, 09:42 PM

I think fox is starting to come out of his shell a little and take more chances. I expect a new guy in there soon.
We're not getting many good kick off returns either for real

Yeah, I actually do get your point. Especially on the marque names.

Kickoff returns are all but dead in today's NFL, especially for the Broncos.
