| FTBL He kicks. Then he comes for you.

Maybe they saw the post I had made about him in warmups lol

I thought the same thing and told my wife about your post when Ty ran out on the field. Got anymore "goodies" that will help our team?
 
and I guess Saban had some trust in him to let his first punt be from the goal line

Alabama has its first black punter and Ty Perine is exceeding expectations
Four things happened inside Bryant-Denny Stadium in Alabama’s win over Tennessee: a magical lighting show, old school Alabama (offense wise) resurfaced, the defense showed flashes of greatness and fans witnessed the return of JK Scott.

A native of Prattville, Ala., Tylan “Ty” Perine became the first African American punter for the Tide in its 35-13 victory over the Volunteers.
He is not the 6-foot-4 golden leg from Colorado with a prayer warrior’s passion, but all that matters to Crimson Tide fans was the way the ball traveled off his foot.Before starting his career as a walk-on, Caleb Ross – head football coach at Prattville High School – knew he had something special in one year with Perine. “He has an exceptionally strong leg,” Ross said of Perine.

“I recognized it on the first day I was here. He was punting and it sounded different coming off his foot. I kept telling myself if he can get consistent, he can kick on Saturdays and Sundays.” A multi-talented athlete, Perine served at punter, kicker, quarterback and safety while having a background in soccer – prior to playing high school football. According to Ross, Perine has always been a competitor and he felt that he would give the Tide every chance at winning. Not only did make his high school coach proud, Perine had over 100,000 people chanting his name under the lights on last week. Scott ended his career with the Tide on an average of 46.5 yards per punt. As for Perine, it only took two attempts for him to reach the mark. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder shot moon balls into the night sky – including that traveled 51 yards and had supporters on their feet.In the midst of his second punt, the overall athlete in Perine emerged.He looked like former Tide standout, Mark Barron, as he flew down the field to cover his own kick. Per sources, yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine was told that Perine was never afraid to lower his shoulder, initiate contact and secure tackles.He turned into the safety he was at Prattville, met the Volunteers’ returner and dropped him to the ground. His excitement said it all as everyone was happy for him.
Teammates knew he was ready, fans were highly impressed, and even Nick Saban had to give him some credit.
“I saw him punt two punts and he punted them really well. I mean really well,” Saban said after the game on the true freshman. “We are happy to see that. He is a guy that is walk-on that has gotten better throughout the course of the year, and we thought it was time for him to get an opportunity based on some of the struggles we’ve had at that position. I thought he responded well.”


With Skyler DeLong struggling and Will Reichard dealing with a hip flexor, Perine gives the Tide a consistent leg in flipping field position — which also puts the defense in more desirable situations.

Seeing how he was an alumnus of the Mike McCabe: One on One Kicking camp is another reason for Saban to continue with him. McCabe graduated multiple specialists to the National Football League, including Patrick McAfee, Matt Bosher, Cody Parkey, Eddy Pineiro, Johnny Townsend and Shane Tripucka.

The quartet of Parkey, Pineiro, Townsend and Tripucka all hailed from the Southeastern Conference.

Black athletes have come a long way at Alabama.

Individuals like Sylvester Croom, Tony Nathan, Walter Lewis, E.J. Junior and Ozzie Newsome paved the way for blacks that wanted to be an offensive lineman, running back, quarterback, linebacker or tight end for the Tide.

Perine gives hope for someone that may want to follow his example at punter/kicker in the future.

His performance should land him as one of the Players of the Week via the coaching staff and fans want to see more of him moving forward this season.
 
For those of you going to the Bama vs Hogs this Saturday...…. I am assigning you a project and that is to chart the distance of our bestest new star punter.

During warmups( don't stay at Phil's drinking cold beers and miss the warmup) make note of where Ty is standing when he boots and where the receiver catches the ball. Judging by this past week it appears he is a 50-55 toe to receiver punter which is much better than DaShort and the new kid doesn't seem to be bothered by folks in the stands.

Report back your findings next week.

Note ...there will be a quiz so take notes. Did he shank several? Height lacking? Was he punting against the wind? C'mon Man
If i can remember Jose. I will. But it looks to be wet. So that will affect everything
But i will say this....he needs to get it off a little faster....

I'm disappointed that people still bring up "the first black (fill in the blank)." Aren't we past that? Let's talk about his performance, not his skin color.
 
@JoseyWalesTheOutlaw ....... at the start of the second half, the kickers and punters come out and warm up as the band is getting off the field. After @doemasters posted Perine's pic a couple weeks ago, I was looking for him specifically to see how he did. Perine and DeLong were on the 40 yd line kicking towards the student section (south endzone) into the field goal the net. I saw Perine kick about 5 times. 2 of his kicks went over the net into the student section, while two other punts went into the net, pretty high up. That would be 60+ yard punts.
