    Heard Brentson Buckner call in to Charlotte radio the other day, and he had some funny things to say about what happens when a team holds punter tryouts. Says they get kung-fu masters and others coming out of the woodwork thinking they can kick the ball. I bet it is hilarious. Also said you should spend nothing more than a 7th on a punter unless its Ray Guy. Always was a funny interview.

    Notes:
    Was an all-state punter as a Wisconsin prep, and also played linebacker and tight end. Punted in all 13 games in 2008, booting 66 punts for an average of 41.8 yards with a long of 64 and 19 punts inside the 20-yard line. Totaled 49-42.0-L61-17 in ’09 and 38-42.7-L76-14 in ’10. Booted 46-42.2-L74-19 during his fourth and final season as the Badgers punter in '11.

    Positives:
    Good leg strength and hang time. Has a feel for directional and pooch punting. Four-year starter. Experience kicking in cold, wind and rain. Held for place kicks.

    Negatives:
    Inconsistent get-off quickness. At times, hurries himself and boots some duds. Punts die in windy conditions. Average athlete — not fleet of foot on fakes.

    Summary:
    Experienced, smart, right-footed punter who takes pride in his craft. Will have to improve delivery quickness to have a shot.


    Haha....inconsistent get off quickness....

    Hopefully he won't be very busy next season.

    He can boom em, 74 long last year.

    They likely see more potential than Butler, who, ya gotta figure probably already has some of the best coaching he could get at home.

    Do we continue to take a chance with him? The shank in the Chicago game (6 yds.?) changed the entire momentum and resulted in a Bears' score, ultimately a loss. The shank in the Washington game hurt as well, even though we still got the W.

    They better get him fixed...NOW. There's unemployed punters out there tired of working their CPA job.
