Two punters in on tryouts? - New England Patriots Forums

Hm. Maybe for the p-squad. You'd be hard pressed to be better than Hanson this year so far.

Probably just the normal continual evaluation of players in case

an emergency occurs. In the case of the guard, there probably

is still room for an upgrade in the offensive line.

Yeah, the guard could be good, if he's a decent player. We need some depth and maybe there are cheaper/better options than Vets.

Gotta get the short list ready in case Hanson punts the way everyone thinks he punts.

Didn't he punt like... 400 times in pre-season?

Boy have we come a long way since the start of camp, when so many were begging for a UDFA, any UDFA to unseat the "worthless" Hanson!

Sidenote: not me.

If the offense plays like it did last year, who needs a punter?

I remember one announcer calling him the loneliest guy in the NFL.

I was thinking the same thing regarding the two punters, and I'm sure they're going to look at some more lineman over the next few weeks.

Auditioning the two punters makes me wonder about Drago, and why he didn't even make it into Training Camp. From what I had read, he seemed to have a strong leg.
