The punting game
Holy schnikes!
From an O-Zone article: http://www.theozone.net/football/200...ti/turnano.htm
"Right now I'm crushing the ball," said Turano.
"I had two sixty yard punts yesterday and I had an 84 yard punt last week in practice."
    
Hell yeah! We got us a punter!

Now that is some great news. I sure hope he can keep it up. For once, though, I'd like to have the same punter for more than one season !!

As long as there wasn't a twelve yard shank sandwiched in between those two 60's I will be on happy SOB!

not to [censored] in anyones cheerios, but if he kicked one 80+ yarder, im SURE he counted the roll. and if he counted the roll on that I will go ahead and make an assumption that he did on the 60 yarders too. if you take away that roll those could very well just be 35+ yard punts. still not terrible, but not worth bragging over either.

Punting is a definite concern for us this year, ball control offense and the ability to punt from deep within our territory is what we have been using for the last two years. If punting becomes more of a liability than an asset, do you see Tress opening it up more trying to move the chains? One would think he doesn't have a choice if the punting becomes a problem. I guess time will tell......

Dude... if you [censored] in my cheerios again... its back in the Closet with you.
How many times have I said... MILK! in the cheerios... or beer...
Anyway... I see your point... but obviously the 84 yarder had roll... but even with Roll... 60's are good...
I'd say the issue isn't the roll... its hand time... sure its nice to be able to blast one out of the endzone and have to other team start on theri own ten... but we need consistency and 'accuracy'... And of course it would be noce to not have to punt as often... especially with the game close. (And no Blocks....... NO BLOCKS) |

84 yd punts remind me of my one and only 300 yd drive in my life. Well actually, it was just my normal 225 that hit a cart path and took the mother of all lucky bounces, so I am gonna go out on a limb and say something along those lines took place for Mr Turano as well.

Speaking of Punters. Did B J Sander get cut from Green Bay or is he still with the team?
