Is there a rule I am unaware of that forces teams to punt the ball to Devin Hester?

If not, there are some really dumb NFL minds out there.....

Coaches in this league continue to blow my mind..

You have to keep in mind that it's not always possible to avoid him, unless you kick the ball out of bounds every punt. The ball is airborne for a LONG time allowing the returner an opportunity to adjust to whatever side the ball is kicked to.

Directional kick or hang in up and give the coverage a chance to get downfield. Honestly i would much rather kick out of bounds and take my chances with Cutler

Exactly...in my mind punting to Hester would be a firable offense in nearly all situations...
