Matt in KC Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 8 punts averaging <29 yards = unacceptable. I understand missing a kick; it happens. But wth is up with that!?
Ralonzo Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Where's Moorman? I think he's trying out for the Steelers. As far as Powell, anyone remember Marv Bateman? Rockets and shanks, nothing in-between.
BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I still don't entirely understand why we cut Stahovich I don't either. He was solid last week. Not that it's as mystifying as chan hiding Tavares in a bunker last year... But it makes ya go hmmmm...
CardinalScotts Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I think he's trying out for the Steelers. As far as Powell, anyone remember Marv Bateman? Rockets and shanks, nothing in-between. yes and I dont want Marv Bateman part II.....he has to find some consistency
Green Lightning Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Powell was pathetic. Shanks, line drives directly to the returner and no ability to pin the opponent deep. Contrast that performance with the Vike's rookie punter and it's time to move on.
vincec Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Thought it was two - tough listening on the radio - either way, one per game is too much, which is what he seems to average. It was actually three. The first off the side of his foot for 19 yards and then the next two into the end zone when he was trying to put them down inside the 20. Three terrible punts.
l< j Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Well, we all said that we couldn't wait for a Bills team where the punter wasn't the best player. And here we are.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Inconsistent, as in booming punts into the EZ from the opponent's 45-yard line, and kicking 35-yarders from our own 20. Better than Powell. You can't kick 15-yard punts every game, in ideal weather conditions. Leaving moorman out of this, Powell is disconcerting.
Nick the Greek Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Where's Moorman? Do you not have access to google.com? http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/2797/brian-moorman
White Linen Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 He needs to work on running a bit more manly too. Good lord.
KD in CA Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 So how's everyone feeling about Powell today? 9 punts; 46 y/a, 3 inside the 20 (could have been 4 but covermen were fooled by the fake fair catch).

The Big Cat Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 He looked great out there. God, I remember the threads last year when Moorman was cut. Yeesh.

He did very well indeed. One other punt was inches away from being perfect, hopping right over the pylon.
Tu-Toned Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Powell will be fine... Directional punting (never in my life have unseen so much writing about directional punts) is the most difficult kick for a punter... Sure he's a pro... But he has a big leg, and as long as he works on those directional chumpies in practice until he masters them, lets hope he sticks to the short back spin deals we saw from him last year.... I think his average was around 45 yards or so, he boomed a couple, actually out kicked the coverage, Not too worried, he eventually maybe our only pro bowler for a while!
infernus Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 compared to NE's punter, powell looked like a superstar
