Don't know if he really expected that or if it was agent talk. It makes sense to pay for a clutch kicker, but punters only get noticed when the shank one or get the bounce to down it inside the five. Townsend was good, but I don't see him as a game changer. Just hope the new guy is a reliable holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager it was agent speak and there's nothing wrong with that West 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpo The Mad Clown 5,554 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I hate to see him go. He may have saved the SB with that hold on Butker’s long FG. West 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,661 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Serious question. If one of us was the Chiefs punter, how many additional games would we lose? I'm guessing 1 or 2 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point. We could probably not have a punter and be ok most of the time. oldtimer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,207 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Always wondered why the punter needs to be the kick holder. Couldn't the back up QB do the job or anyone else for that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes more efficient practices if the backup qb stays with the offense and the special teams do their own thing. oldtimer and West 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, that's more efficient, but if the punter can hit it 60 yards but can't bring down the high snap in a smooth instant, wouldn't it make sense to have another ball handler do the job? Hope it's not an issue with the new guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the expectation is they have 2 Jobs and can figure it out oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
