LeGOATski Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Probably going to move to a punter by committee approach to keep everybody fresh. Yep. These days, punters are a dime a dozen.
LeGOATski Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Vomits over self. Filed position is the least of my worries, it is such an antiquated argument. You only have to win field position when you have a bad team. Flipping the field doesn't mean a damn if you have an offense that cant move the ball. Ummmm.... If your offense can't move the ball, flipping the field is huge. I think you have it reversed here.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Probably going to move to a punter by committee approach to keep everybody fresh. Probably a good idea
Mark Vader Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I hope he isn't just a conservative defensive coach. And truth be told, I liked the playcall on that 4th down play. They just got stuffed. I thought it was a good play call too. The Panthers just stopped them. The previous play, drove me nuts.
BmarvB Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Probably going to move to a punter by committee approach to keep everybody fresh. From what we've seen of the offense, that might turn out to be a necessary evil

You only have to win field position when you have a bad team. Flipping the field doesn't mean a damn if you have an offense that cant move the ball. How is field position an antiquated argument?? That makes no sense to say that field position doesn't matter. There literally would never be a situation when you would rather give your opponent the ball at their own 30 instead of their own 20. Why would we not upgrade the punter if we can do so for essentially the same cost? Edited September 18, 2017 by Cheektavegas Charlie
CountDorkula Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Ummmm.... If your offense can't move the ball, flipping the field is huge. I think you have it reversed here. So you pin them down at the 5. they get three-5 yards punt, your offense goes three and out. Repeat,repeat. how does flipping the field work out? you get the game you saw yesterday.
BADOLBILZ Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Mc Derpunt ? McKickitt maybe? Any drive that ends in a kick seems to thrill him. The unbridled joy of McDermott sending Hauschka out to attempt a long field goal(which he luckily doinked in off the upright) after they finally saw the other side of the field with a decent drive was kinda' bizarre.........but not new for those of us in this fanbase that can remember back 8-10 years ago. Gotta' play to win on the road........playing not to lose........you usually lose.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 you don't know how invaluable a punter is until you watch the rams punter. holy ****. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78V4NZ4Q2VM Look at the punt at 1:00.
ROONDOGG55 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Must be a hang time thing. Schmidt gave up 8 returns on 12 punts, which leads the league.

Repeat,repeat. how does flipping the field work out? you get the game you saw yesterday. You stay within 6 points? You give yourself a chance for a long FG? What point are you trying to make?

That field position doesn't matter if you have a bad team? We only stayed within 6 pints because Newton was as bad as Taylor yesterday and Rivera tried to blow the game yesterday with that FG.

SaviorPeterman Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Um how about working out a new kicker? This Haushca joker seems like a headcase and was lucky that field goal bounced off the uprights yesterday or we would have been shut out.
Kmart128 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I expected us to look for Schmidt replacement during the offseason... he was bad this year but has been kicking it pretty well this year. Seems odd aftet one of his better games

We only stayed within 6 pints because Newton was as bad as Taylor yesterday and Rivera tried to blow the game yesterday with that FG. If the Panthers had better field position on some of those FG drives, they could have been touchdowns. I can't believe you're trying to argue that field position doesn't matter. It may not be the most important thing in a game, but to say it doesn't matter is ludicrous.

Seems odd aftet one of his better games Typical MO with this team, look to fix a problem where there isn't one. But at least the coaching staff and front office realizes we are going to be punting a lot so have to load up ST players similar to the Dick 'The Stiff' Jauron days.
Jerry Jabber Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Bringing in punters for tryouts? So, punting was a problem yesterday? How about addressing the real problems and bring in RT's, RG's and QB's for tryouts?!

Next week the only thing we win is the field position battle you can put another 1 in the L column.
