As for kicking around mid-field most of the time I haven't a clue to the real numbers there but if I had to guess the difference has little statistically difference from all the other punters in the league...I'm guessing they kick from mid-field just as often. If you can find otherwise I would certainly be interested in seeing such. Until then the numbers are what they are and they are currently at the bottom of the barrel....Just because we spent a 3rd round pick on him doesn't give him a free pass. My guess is he has plenty of talent and will eventually work his way up to one of the better punters in the league but until that happens I see no reason to pretend like the facts are some how not the facts.

I think maybe a larger sample than five games may resolve your questions on this. I can not remember but a single punt in the five games where he was able to kick all out and the hang time was tremendous. Of course then tackles are required. IMO the real problem is that our special teams suck.
