Who will be our starting punter?

[pats1]

Last year, Miller did the following:

of his 43 punts, 18 returned (41%), 6 went out of bounds, 5 were downed, 12 were inside the 20 (27.9%), 7 were fair caught and 7 were Touch backs.

Sauerbrun had the following
24 punts, 13 returned (54%), 4 were inside the 20 (16.6%), 2 were downed, 3 went out of bounds, 1 was a touch back and 5 were fair caught.

Now, Sauerbrun didn't have as many touch backs, which helps his stats, but he had far more kicks returned.

The Pats punt coverage was very good. Much of it was helped by Miller. Miller didn't generally out-kick his coverage. And that is what I liked about him.

Past tense indeed.

It's now up to Baugher to prove himself. Miller has been released.

Gould was never on the Practice Squad..and because of an injury was taken by the Bears. They MIGHT do that, but I wonder with many teams knowing how good he is, will he really last on there??

Pats726, please re-read what I stated. I did NOT state that Gould WAS on the practice squad. I said that the Pats attempted to get him there but that the Bears signed him. As a kicker, if a team comes knocking for a starting job, you jump at it. You don't say, thanks, but no, and take a PS job.

WOW. I am surprised at this, honestly. But, life goes on.

So is it pronounced "BOW-er" as I always thought, or "BOG-er" as Don Criqui said it last week?

I hope we have to know the answer to this question, but who would be the backup punter in the event of an in-game injury?
I know Tom Brady has done it once and Welker is an emergency kicker but what about Gostkowski? Like I said, I hope we never need to find out, but I'm asking out of curiosity.

Just my $0.02,

His Patriots.com bio has it as BAHG-er.

From the latest PFW:

"Do you have a nickname?

[Kicker Stephen] Gostkowski says it's Baugher Power...he pronounces my name wrong but it rhymes. (It's pronounced BOGG-er)."
