That Punt was HUGE

Re: Zoltan

mind boggleing, really glad they drafted him
 
Re: Zoltan

As I've said before, I just don't get why it took BB so long to draft someone to replace Hanson. Zoltan was arguably MVP today not just "the punt" but all day he was consistently netting close to or over 40 yards.

Yes, a good punter can change games. Hope he keeps it up!
 
Re: Zoltan

Anyone still think we wasted a pick on him?
 
Re: Zoltan

I think his punt was the most important play of the day. Our special teams has been SPECIAL this season.
 
Re: Zoltan

I turned to my wife and said, "If they end up winning this thing, that's the play of the game."

What a freakin' punt.

First thing I thought when Gost got the FG! If Zoltan punted to the 40, it would have been different!

Also McClain helped!
 
Re: Zoltan

I didn't get to watch the game and only followed it on my BB after waking up during OT when I had a "feeling" something was going to happen. Can someone tell me about that punt?

4th down at our 16 yard line! Mesko punts it over the returner, and was downed at the BAL 19!

Absolutely fantastic punt!
 
Re: Zoltan

what is really amazing about that punt was that it was over 60 yards IN THE AIR it was about 80 yards from foot to stop and it only rolled 10 yards at most it was unbelieveable
 
Re: Zoltan

an unspoken thing about punters with huge legs, like zoltan, is that people know he can blast the ball 50+ so stand that far deep awaiting the punt, so even when he doesnt hit good punts and the ball lands 30 yards from the line of scrimmage, the ball bounces and you get big rolls. average roll is about 17 yards in the nfl


on the big punt today, he hit it like 45 in the air and rolled another bunch of yards. dont know what carr was thinking

I'll be honest, before that punt, I thought "game over" given how great field position I thought the Ravens would of gotten...it's great to be wrong!!!
 
Re: Zoltan

It was more than that. After the Defense played heroically denied the Ravens three times in OT, the offense again laid an egg via dropped passes, and we were about to give them field position where a couple of first downs and they were in field goal range. Momentum had shifted, we were about to go down, and I think everyone on the board was getting mentally prepared for the loss.

That punt changed all of that.

Agreed. I was offering to sacrifice to every God I knew that that punt would land inside the 20. I owe my Gods a lot of holocaust this week, but it's worth every one of them. This was a GREAT win, even if in overtime. :rocker:
 
Re: Zoltan

It was a game changing punt. Patjew.
Your eyes would have bugged out like mine did had you seen it.
Dieon will likely get the game ball but it should have gone to Zoltan!

i was thinking the same thing. I was dreading the field position I thought the Ravens would get

I said the EXACT same thing. Except I don't have a wife. I said it to my dad.
 
Re: Zoltan

Just incredible. When we were backed up, I'm so used to awful punting, I thought the Ravens were going to get it at midfield and we were done for sure.
