Hill and Tua.

From the NFL highlights package:

Tua.

Special mention again for our Special Teams Coach - Danny Crossman. How many returns for scores have we given up, and have many have we scored under his guidance? I've had more than enough of it, and think we should just fire his ass before this weekend.

^^^ Lol it's the punter's fault, he punted it too far.

For me, it's Hill.  When you're the best player on the team and the other guys are all hurt, you gotta step it up.  He didn't reel in a lot of balls that he often catches.  I saw somewhere that this season he led his career in drops.

Hill played fine, but with Waddle and Moestert both out, he just had to do more, since he was like the only offensive weapon out there.

Don't laugh - there is such a sin as out-kicking the coverage.

It's a big problem a lot of Australian ex-AFL players have adjusting to your game. Most can kick it more than far enough, but the height aspect is more important to give time for the players to get down the field. It's why so few of those Aussies who do try out end up making it - and the majority who do have abandoned their AFL ambitions early and (learnt and) played punter at the College level.

So yeah, there is such a thing as punting it too far. Sav Rocca's only ever punt returned for a touchdown happened precisely because of that (coincidentally against the Dolphins with Ted Ginn taking it to the house).

Sav Rocca and Australia kick ass

Yeah I don't disagree.  Not to mention the Dolphins really haven't punted a lot this year.
