[carolinatony]

We need a new punter.

Here’s one more: Expect punter Chris Hanson to walk into free agency, with little to no interest from the Patriots, I’m told by one such person of interest. Hanson may find love from other teams, but he appears to be done in New England

Good riddance, master of hang time. Through the uprights is BAD on a punt, Chris

Walk? He should be chased into free agency.

Belichick has tried to get kick him off the field for years but Hanson only goes 35 yards before coming back.

Nice!

You think Hanson would be better at punting after kicking Patriots fans in the balls all these years.

Couple guys in the draft that are interesting bring in some competition.

Looks like BB is tired of settling for dead last in net punt average. Give us a young kid with a big leg like Scifres, please!

I'm free if he needs a ride to the airport next Friday... For someone who has always preached the field position game and the importance of situational football, his penchant for bottom of the barrel punters has always baffled me.

He dropped Baugher like a hot potato to sign Hanson, so clearly there was something about Hanson that BB actually liked. . . .

Rotoworld - Chris Hanson Not Expected Back

Free agent P Chris Hanson is not expected back with New England.
Hanson, 33, finished 2009 ranked 34th in the NFL in net average (39.7). The Pats have been rumored as possible suitors for Michigan P Zoltan Mesko.

Is this guy Mesko anything good? I know he said the Pats special teams coach drilled him with questions. Is he worth taking a look at in the draft or should we go the FA route?

 

[VJCPatriot]

How about Drew Butler? Is he coming out this draft?

He's certainly got the NFL bloodlines. And he led the nation in punting average in 2009 as well as winning the Ray Guy award. BTW current Steelers punter Sepulveda won the Ray Guy award twice.

I heard Belichick was going to change his philosophy on punting like the high school team in Arkansas that never punts and goes for it on fourth down no matter what the situation. It works for them since they continueally compete for state championships. This would eliminate a lot of contoversy regarding Belichick's decisions on 4th down...4th and 2.

I've been out of the loop the last couple of days, but this is the best news I've heard all weekend.

Our Run & Shoot offense, without WW, will not be able to maintain the field position necessary to support the defense as presently constituted. Now more than ever, we need a Punter who can single-handedly reverse field position.
