Reno - punt returner

[Larry]

Returns over 20+ yards...

Randel-El: 1
Dante Hall: 1
Reno Mahe: 4

Mahe = sole pro-bowl representative.

inconceivable!

I love it when reality breaks up all our little biases and misconceptions.

are you kidding me?  i'd still rather have Dante Hall or Randel-El in a miliheartbeat.  one dumb stat doesn't change the fact that Reno Mahe is only in the NFL because of the college he went to

I can't even remember Reno returning that many punts all season.

[T_Section224]

seriously.

who has the defense stopped that we forced punts from, the 9ers?

[stillupfront]

Yeah, he doesn't dance and sing like he's in a farging minstrel show, but so what? He handles the ball well. How many fumbles lost on punts? And makes the most of what he gets.

I mostly recall Reno frequently waving for a fair catch with 10+ yards of open field in front of him. Does anyone know the stats for how many fair catches he has per punt as compared to Randel El or Dante Hall?

I remember a certain Hall of Fame prospect, who holds or has held many records concerning returns and IIRC has third most all purpose yards in NFL history, going by the name of B. Mitchell, playing both for the (censored)skins and later for us do an awful lot of fair-catch waving as well. And not one person with two or more working braincells would/could ever suggest that that certain Mitchell dude did not know what he was doing.

And 10+ yards is not much of a distance when you have guys covering that in roughly a second coming down on you. Frankly, you are plane stupid if you know the angles games is unfavorable and take the risk of trying to catch it and run, get hit under the wrong angle and fumble the football.

So, how many fumbles has Reno had compared to some of the glory boys?

[Don Ho]

Mahe needs five punt returns Sunday in St. Louis to qualify.

i am fairly confident he can return 5 more punts. but i am not so confident that the defence can force 5 more punts. 

Second funniest thing I've heard all season!

[jeffreyjpa]

Dutch, are you really comparing Reno Mahe to Brian Mitchell?

[jeffreyjpa]

Had more time to do a little research, since the question was out there:

Dante Hall      33 Returns     5.8 Average      5 FCs
Randel El        33 Returns     7.1 Average      9 FCs
R. Mahe          14 Returns     14.5 Average    7 FCs

I have a feeling if Reno returned 33+ punts, his average per return might dip a little.

What really pisses me off is seeing Brian Westbrooks name on that stats list.  The way he's been hurt every season of his short career, note to AR: keep him off special teams will ya!
