it seems the competition is heavier then expected...

Miller will keep his place or ?

your opinion ?

Let's go Danny Baugher!

Josh Miller. I saw 2 go into the end zone that shouldn't have. I'm not sure if they were the same punter, but BB wants you to drop those inside the 20.

How do you think (punter whose name will not be mentioned here) lasted so long?

Plus Patjew has connections.

I don't know. This is a tough competition. I believe that it is a 2 horse race between Baugher and Miller. It seems that coaches are giving the young guys every opportunity (up until now - we'll see what the next pre-season game holds) to win the starting job. I like the fact that Miller is 6'4" which gives him a longer swing unlike the the 5'10" Baugher. Having said that Sauerbrun was also 5'10" and could boom it. I wish Sauerbrun was a part of this competition, but he's not.

I was disappointed with no punter being drafted. With all of the mid round pics, I was hoping for one punter. I'm tired of seeing 30 something yard punts.

i agree on Sauerbrun

he played, imho, well with us when he arrived

a competition with him too in the mix would have been better

Personally, I don't want a player on the team that has openly expressed his intentions to play elsewhere. I would rather have a punter that actually wants to be here. That being said, I really like Miller and believe he will win the job. He proved to be a valuable asset to Gostowski last year when he was struggling in the beginning, something I doubt a rookie would've been able to do. I say let Gost mature a little more with Miller's veteran savvy and experience to guide him. I just think it's a little too early to get the youngblood in there considering Gost is only in his second season.

Pierre Woods.

Troy Brown? haha. actually, i really like Baugher too but both Baugher and Miller can do the job well.

With this offense who needs a punter?

Maybe just 2 times all year?
