do we have any good punters coming next year. this seems to be a position we could use some expertise.

Nothing is more frustrating than a 30 yard punt in critical postitions in the game.

For what it's worth, we had some nice punts tonight as well. :wink:

Yes there is. A 34 yard punt with a 43 yard return. OUCH!!

A play on which, by the way, our punter made the tackle on. Fitz did okay tonight and he's been decent all season. We've got a lot worse problems than punter on this team.

Crap, I'd like to see what Fitzgerald could do at right tackle. :shock:

Punting has been terrible all year and last night was ceertainly no exception.

but if you think about it, if the offense scores we don't need a punter, at least in the sense of bailing out a mediocre offense, JMO

while that may be true, PJF's average seems to be about 35 yards which is 10-15 yards shorter than what a punt should be at the University of Alabama. Don't get me wrong, I like PJF and I think he's one of the players who works his tail off to win, but, we should be punting for a 45-55 yard average except when we're trying to down in inside the 10 yard line.

Haha! Understatement of the year. :lol: :wink: Yeah, our punting could be improved upon just a little. I'm sure we'll have a number of walkons try out for the position next year.

i sure hope so, would be nice if we get the best punter in football (either longest avg or the guy we never have to use), preferably both

Im sure the Quadrapelgics Punters Assoc. has better punters.

I'm praying for a Tank Williamson type punter. Anyone remember which Alabama Auburn game it was that he punted one nearly 75 yards from the end zone? I feel like it was at Legion Field.

BTW, I've never seen a punter more appropriately named. I think his parents did that on purpose. :lol:

 

[Hightideiscoming]

Dang if I didn't find the answer seconds after I posted this...
it was the 91' I.B. and the punt went 71 yards. Hallaluja for the day that comes when we've got a guy that can do that again.

they've banned steroids since then.

Hmmmm. I'm headed to BAMA next year.
