That's too funny. Got to have nothing but best wishes for him.Guy has a good sense of humor

Well....my schedule just opened up.
He'll be ok, the Steelers guaranteed his 1.3m salary by picking him up on waivers before week 1.

Wow, was he that bad for the Steelers? I was surprised when he was cut by the Pats and now am surprised again that he was cut by the Steelers. I thought he was a pretty good punter. I guess I am not all that knowledgeable about professional punting...
Yikes. Were the blocked punts his fault or was it blocking (or both)?He was terrible. 34 punts, 3 inside the 20. He's not the biggest issue we have, but he's easily the most replaceable.

He was good here. Not the best leg but definitely had over 40 yards/punt the large majority of the time when the situation called for it. I also recall him being great at getting punts < 20 and few touchbacks.One was blocked due to a third string TE having to be used out of pure necessity, but he was averaging 30-ish yards/punt when his protection was solid and he had time. I don't know what happened to Mesko, but he was just inefficient.
The most frustrating thing though was when he was punting well, he was punting well. He had a 56 yard punt that stopped at the 1 yard line. It was honestly one of the best punts I've ever seen. He followed it up by a 35 yard shank however.
I don't know how he punted here, but it was infuriating watching him be inconsistent.

Strange that things went south in PIT for him.
EDIT: I'd say his consistency was his biggest strength here, btw.
Are you sure about that? Mesko's his last name. He's using the American ordering instead of the Hungarian. If he were in Hungary, then he'd be Meskó Zoltán. Over here, he's just Zoltan Mesko.Tunescribe said:His was the only official Pats jersey shirt to bear a player's first name. (Just a bit of trivia I knew would astound everyone.)
I remember that punt against the Ravens. I was watching with a buddy and was thinking BAL was going to have a very short field since the Patriots were punting from inside their own 20. Mesko booted it 65+ yards to the Ravens 20 and I was happily wrong.He had his outstanding moments, too. The biggest highlight was the OT punt against the Ravens back in 2010. Kept them pinned all the way back near their own 10 at a point where they just needed to get into FG range to win.
