So for all those that said we could have had him later.................. Pretty sure that this selection occurred after the Watson trade. Was pretty close though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandomonium Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I havent't read all the responses on this thread yet but I'm going to say something that probably has already been said: They couldn't wait until the last pick in the 6th to pick this guy????? seriously???/ all I know is that the dude had better be able to punt balls into orbit and they don't come down until a quarter later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE went with a Punter in the fifth and this guy was rated as the best punter in this class. But yeah, no one is really a big fan of this.

N4L Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I WISH NOW the ball to fly high in the SKY Wish*now*sky the Australian grunted as he sent the inflated pig into orbit Now, let's wish for the sky? @rudyZ help me out here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 If you're spending a 4th rounder on a punter, Kyle, you better not be required to look at punting tape for another decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie9er Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 17 hours ago, N4L said: I consider myself the punter aficionado around here considering how much easier it is to see the ball fly in the air and how it spins in person. If nothing else this will make the preseason exciting. @Aussie9er so would he be able to cover kickoffs? Or is that too much to ask? I think the chance of injury would be too much to cover kicks but if he needs to lay a tackle shouldn’t be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAAAAM!! a two-fer-one. both punter and safety. now starting to look very smaaaht yes?? Ya know, having a punter who can run a bit and legit lay a tackle is a real advantage. How many times have you seen a punt return where, if the punter had been worth anything at all as an open field tackler, a TD could have been turned into a mere 25 yarder? Having a punter who's a good athlete also opens up some options for trick plays. Edited April 29, 2019 by Ronnie's Pinky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just kept thinking about the Rams.. they hardly punt and when they do, 30% chance its a fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
