Sorry, but this is a gross over-statement. Josh Miller was significantly better than Sauerbrun. Sauerbrun was not getting enough hang time on his kicks and, therefore, the coverage wasn't getting down there fast enough. With Miller, the Pats had the BEST punt coverage team in the NFL by a HUGE margin. Once Miller got hurt, the coverage went to garbage and teams got much better field position on the Pats.
