For a team that last season averaged 3 punts per game, I still don’t know why they felt the need to use a draft pick on one to begin with. I guess when your roster is this stacked, you can do some tweaking.
Second, hindsight is 20/20, but even without the Ariaza issue, I would’ve kept Haack around for this last game to avoid having to use Ariaza. (I guess the plan could’ve been to use Barkley all along.) Sometimes they’re too nice in giving players the chance to pursue other opportunities.
