Excellent
Dude was good at PSU. Glad to see he’s caught on somewhere.
How does one evaluate a punter, or decide who wins in a punting battle? I never really understood. It’s not like there are dozens of data points to consider…no 40 time, benchpress, vertical, etc. You’re basically basing your decision on 1) Who can punt the highest 2) Who can punt the ball the farthest 3) Who can stick it inside the 20
And I gotta think that a lot of guys can fill a lot of those criteria, especially at the NFL level. How much variance could there be between Punter A’s and Punter B’s performance? So what tips the scales in the decision process?

These are great questions
Aren’t there any ex-punters in the BSD family who can weigh in intelligently (or at least humorously) on these?

Steelers could use him
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Now that's funny...
I had a roommate a few years back who was a big Stellars fan. He said he was going to get a Josh Miller jersey, since he was basically the team’s MVP that year.

I still seriously contend that Boone was our MVP last season
He accounted for thousands of yards in punting. Every Morelli 3-and-out was followed by a beautiful punt. Saved our butts in a bunch of games.

2006 PSU-Illinois
The Chevy Player of the Game was our punter I believe.

Are you sure?
I could’ve sworn it was Poz. I can still see him running past Juice, running back towards Juice, knocking the ball out, touchdown Tony Davis. Sweetness.

I can't find any evidence of it, but I'm sure it was Kapinos.
He was also Big Ten special teams player of the week.

Okay
It makes sense considering how bad our offense was.

the punter the Steelers drafted is a beast. Loves to lay licks on special teams.
