It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I would have to go back and re-watch if that is true and if there are other circumstances. For example I have seen more than one bad snap.ok i will admit I have not checked the stats but based on the eye test it seems like his punts have no hang time and not a lot of distance, I watch these punters from other teams boot these high 60 yard punts downfield
Am I missing something?

These rankings are through the first three games and again, without knowing the field position, that may alter numbers - but here you go:
- 41.7 gross average per punt - rank: #32
- 37.3 net average per punt -- rank: #30
- 6 punts inside the 20 -- rank: tied for 13th
- 1 punt for a fair catch -- rank: tied for 28th
- 8 punts returned ------- rank: tied for 8th most (ie, T-26th best)
- 5.8 yards per return --- rank: tied for 19th most (ie, 13th best)

Somehow you have to figure in field position in these stats, while he has not looked good from my couch, difficult to just look at how far he punts as a barometer unless you know where he is punting from..
It seems more difficult to place a punt in a specific area than to just "boom" it... then there is that "left footed" thing, which BB likes.
Told my special teams coach my second year to shove it when he made switch over to directional punting. I wanted to kick it like Lechler and Lee and make it to Pro Bowls. A hard truth to learn in the NFL is it's always better to be selfish rather than sacrifice for the team - the team has no loyalty these days
BB was recently asked about the left-footed thing and he replied that he doesn't have a particular preference, that it's just happened to work out that way.
He just happens to always have left footed punters ? Given the ratio of lefties and righties this is almost impossible. Bullish!t Bill.BB was recently asked about the left-footed thing and he replied that he doesn't have a particular preference, that it's just happened to work out that way.
Rich Camarillo is probably as close in age to Tom Brady as some rookies, maybe he'll be part of this week's workout list....Bring Ken Walter back!
I kid I kid...

He's done it already.OTOH, it's difficult for me to imagine BB taking a lefty over a righty who was clearly better.

Todd Sauerbrun, in favor of Chris Hanson, after the 2006 season. The Pats had re-signed Sauerbrun to a contract that other teams could still exceed, which Denver did.
