Patriots Mesko Was a Difference Maker Sunday
By: Ian Logue

Looking back at Sunday's win over the Texans, it's tough not to appreciate the role that Zoltan Mesko played in the battle for field position, and he made some pretty big kicks during the victory....

Someone correct me if I am wrong but Mesko has made the punt game a positive all year. Nothing new to the Texan game.
When JE was uninjured the Patriots ST's all around were a plus all year (save a couple of Gost kicks -- but he was never a minus). It is easy to see the return game has suffered without him. So be it, JE is gone and we will make do without him. As long as the STs coverage doesn't repeat what they did against the Texans, STs are definitely an overall plus.

One comment was that the rest helped him. Not sure about that, but he had some boomers for sure.

...I don't want to speak for y'all but Mesko is quietly having a great year and really has been pretty reliable for this team.

Sunday his play was huge.

When you get to this level and all the teams are so good, special teams plays a big role.

Glad to have him and hope he continues those booming punts Sunday (and a couple lucky bounces would not hurt)!

Zoltan The Magnificent was just that Sunday night.

Glad they drafted this guy! My favorite Patriots punter since Josh Miller who was here too briefly..

Mesko is everything we desired him to be--and maybe a bit more. One more to add to the truly COMPETENT players on the Pats.

He had a great game against Houston. Against the Ravens' offense, we're going to need him to keep burying them deep again.

Can never underestimate the utility of a money punter.

Andy Lee's play was a big reason SF was able to beat us the first go-round.

And I hate to bring this up, but the Giants' punter (I can't even remember his name, because I'm a hypocrite) was a big part of us losing Super Bowl 46.
