Wouldn't mind releasing Hanson.

But use his roster spot for another RB!

Hanson had a decent day last week, actually getting off a good long one when we needed it; unfortunately it went largely unnoticed when Dallas had those two long runs immediately after.

Anyway, Hanson has only had 2 of 13 punts returned. His net still isn't good but I have a feeling Belichick is OK with him as long as he continues to make his punts unreturnable.

Miller is a better field goal holder. I think that might sway Belichick since Miller did a great job for Vinatieri and Gostowski (before he got injured).

Let's see, we released Miller for Baugher, then released Baugher for Hanson - now we should release Hanson for Miller?

Listen guys, we don't see Miller in practice every day... he WAS a great punter but he's 37 or 38 and coming off an injury ... there is a reason he has been released by two teams since pre-season, and it isn't because of his personality.

Miller was released from the Titans because their regular punter, Craig Hentrich, came back from a back injury. Miller only punted in game 3. He's been inactive since.

Miller's 40.3 punting avg. is better than Hanson's 37.1 avg. but Miller's only played in one game this season so we don't really know how effective he truly is at this point, and we don't know if his body will hold up over the course of the season.

This might sound funny but I liked Baugher before they released him and thought he'd win the job. Who knows maybe he had attitude problems? Wouldn't surprise me considering he punched his own father just after his release from NE.

Now, Hanson's career avg is 42.7 and he did seem to punt well against the Cowboys so maybe he's just starting to knock the rust off? For this reason I'd give him a few more weeks to prove himself then if he's struggling I'd replace him.
