Default Patriots work out yet another punter

The Patriots worked out second-year punter Reggie Hodges today at Gillette Stadium.

Hodges has appeared in eight career games, with the Rams (5 in 2005) and Eagles (3 in 2005). He was in camp with the Seahawks this summer.
Hmm they worked out two other punters yesterday. Is Hanson's roster spot in jeopardy?

I wouldn't think so, just seeing what's out there just in case. With the roster limits at 80 this preseason they couldn't bring in another P.

True, but...3 punters in 2 days sounds like something. Let's just hope that something isn't an injury.

I don't buy this. Not this time. Maybe if it was a punter here, punter there. But this is a systematic attempt to sign a better punter than they currently have or deal with an un-announced injury.

Is anyone kind of surprised there aren't at least a few guys out there that kick and punt? I would think that if someone could pull that off, their value would skyrocket as it would allow a team to carry a 5th RB or 5th CB or whatever. Most likely, it would be a kicker that could also punt being that kicking is a bit more important over the course of a season.

Maybe Hansen has a quota in his contract and we exceeded it in preseason...

Quota for number of punts?That guy has about 4 seasons worth of roll-over from last season.

If that were the case they would be bringing in proven veterans, for ex Green Bay just waived their P Jon Ryan, http://www.nfl.com/players/jonryan/profile?id=RYA229481, in order to sign Derrick Frost, http://www.nfl.com/players/derrickfr...e?id=FRO666178, whom the Redskins had waived. Ryan is still out there and has a much better resume then any of the 3 punters we just brought in for workouts.

Makes sense, looks like an informational workout(s).
