I thought this was a joke when I first read it. This guy could be my dad. Wow... I don't like to say it, but this seems very desperate and I don't have high expectations at all.

The great thing about Walter was he never kicked touchbakcs. Whenever we got to the point he could reach the end zone, we were in FG range. He could kick the ball as far as he could on every punt.
The problem was there were many times he couldnt reach the 50 punting from his own end.

I can appreciate that there are some holders that are better than others, but no way Gostkowski only made kicks because of Walter.
I think if we looked closely, he missed some kicks early on, then stopped missing them before and after Miller went on IR.

He averaged 43.6 last year and about the same the year before. We only have 6 games left anyway, he won't have time to get worn down

ESPN is now reporting that Sean Landetta, on his way to applying for a Senior Citizen housing apartment, tripped over some curbing and fractured his his kicking leg. Unfortunately, he has also been placed by the New England Patriots on Injured Reserve, but could be available for the 2008-2009 NFL football season.

He must be quite a punting prospect if that's the case. I know he was very good for the first half of 2005, but there are a lot of punters floating around out there without MCL injuries, many of whom were also finalists for the Ray Guy award. Ray Guy is also floating around. I know he's old but so is Sean Landetta. Point is they probably could have let Danny sit at home until next year if they wanted him then, or put him on the infamous rookie red-shirt list *cough* IR.

See, this makes more sense. I think (hope) this is Baughter's in-season tryout. If he can beat out Mr. Accrued Tenure and all the other old men of the mountain Pioli elects to fly out to Foxboro, he gets to punt, and the decision to put a dime-a-dozen undrafted rookie punter on the practice squad midseason looks shrewd. Seriously, if he's practicing he should be good to go, if he has the ability.

I'm just glad Walter is on IR so Belichick can't tease us like in 2004 when he released him then brought him back the next week.

I don't think he is. He's a solid one, though. He had always been a great placement, OK distance guy (just looking at stats, his distance could have been hurt by his placement of course) until last year when his placement was still good but his average just skyrocketed. If his leg's OK, I'd love to have him out there the rest of the way.

I'm sure in his 30+ years in the league Landetta learned a thing or two about holding. Let's overrate something every HS & NCAA team manages to find a player to competently do.

So is Landetta now the last remaining NFL player to have been in the original Tecmo Bowl?
