Why has our punter gotten so bad...he was pretty good last year, but this year nit so much.  Poor punting again Saturday.

Wha????

We need a new punter, kicker, and kickoff specialist that can kick into the endzone.

First punt was pinned inside the 20 at the 19, only 24 yards but we were on the WISC 43.

Next punt was 40 yards returned for 1 yard to the 21. So not as bad as you're making it seem.

 

[HuskrSteve]

Yes, but punting has not been great all year IMHO.

 

[rdwoodpecker]

Really you want to lessen the poor punt that only traveled 24 years to the 19? 

He has been bad all year, no hang time and no distance. Not sure what happened to him but either his technique is off or it is in his head. Special teams coach needs to figure this out.

Early, feisty, and sarcastic is what I'm made of.

What was the wind like yesterday?

What was the wind like yesterday?

The wind was atrocious.  There kicker would kick to the back of the end zone on one side and 5 yard line on the other

We have to find someone next year that can consistently put the ball in the end zone on KOs. We are handicapping ourselves by kicking to the 10 on a line. I miss having Kunalic or Bondi who would put it out of the end zone.

Exactly.

He had touchbacks going both ways

Maybe they should go one of those Aussie Rules guys.
