A pleasant surprise

I know we've mentioned this before, but I have been very impressed with Derrick Frost so far this year. No bad shanks, and he is really helping us on the field position battle. Here are the stats for top-5 punters in NFL (let's hope this copy-and-paste looks normal):

2nd-best avg in NFL. Not to shabby, let's hope he keeps it up.

of course the copy-and-paste didn't work, so here's the link:

He has definitely performed very well, but I always feel starnge when I'm saying how good the punter is.

consistancy is his problem, so i've got to see him do it a couple more games in a row.

he did very well versus the texans though.

Good stat.

But less 3 an out would be a better stat!

He's actually kicking the bottom of the ball instead of it's side?

I think both kickers are doing a great job so far. I think it was a good move to let Hall take over the kick-offs. The oppositions starting field position was too good in those first two games.
