26CornerBlitz Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Huber placed on IR, Powell signed The Bengals have signed Shawn Powell after a tryout on Tuesday. Powell, was with Buffalo last season and part of this year. He was released after the Bills Week 5 game against Cleveland after Travis Benjamin set a Browns record with 179 yards on punt returns. For the season, Powell was averaging 46.1 yards on gross but only 35.2 net yards. In 18 career games, all with Buffalo, Powell averaged 44.7 yards gross and 38.3 net. Of his 100 punts, 33 landed inside the 20.
Rubes Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Lucky for him the Bengals punter got destroyed in that game. What an ugly hit that was.

JuanGuzman Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Wish Powell good luck. I think he has the leg but as young player couldn't handle the pressure in Buffalo.

JuanGuzman Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) He's on a playoff team now in Cincinnati.....Where was the pressure in Buffalo?? Yeh we will see how he performs. I think being a NFL punter is a high pressure job regardless of record, it comes from knowing that you have non-guaranteed contract and can be cut at anytime for under performance. As a fan god knows I am quick to pile on the punter if he screws up because its so easy to evaluate his performance. Basically one job is too punt far without allowing a return.

sodbuster Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Huber placed on IR, Powell signed Looks like I just won 20 bucks from a friend.
Security Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Should never been cut, it was a shameful cut, really. Moorman had 1 good punt, his first one, was stupid to cut him.
