Brooks/Frost Update 8-9-08

8/16 - Brooks 6 punts for 43 yds.

One thing I def. have noticed is Brooks' hang time.

He's consistently floating them up there, and that's something we've been missing for quite some time. Good punters are huge in those close games...

i don't even notice brooks... which is great... no praying for another lucky roll, etc.

wow, a thread about punters. thank god football is back. i would be shocked if Brooks isn't the punter on opening day
Me too! If he isn't someone will get him!

I'll be shocked if Brooks doesn't win the punting job. He is consistently booming them high and deep. We know a shank is right around the corner for Frost.

The question to me is, is the difference between Frost and the new guy worth a draft pick? We could of drafted some defense with that pick. Of course we could have drafted some defense with two picks we used on the two WRs who haven't caught a ball yet. I hear next year we're looking to draft Ethan Albright's replacement.

A good punter can get you out of a bad situation if your offense doesn't do the job, and Frost has not been doing well. I think if you read this thread you'll see that Brooks is doing better with his punts, especially the hangtime (which helps the special teams get downt he field)

I have no issue with drafting a punter in the 6th Round. Historically, that is one of the safest bets in a draft lottery.

As someone else posted in another thread, the majority of punters are "just a guy" and Frost is clearly "just a guy". Fairly often, drafted punters turn into something other than just another punter. In light of that, the importance of good field position, and the crapshoot involved at any other position, I would suggest that - Yes. "the difference between Frost and the new guy" IS "worth a draft pick[.]"

I sure hope Brooks gets the job.. screw frost.. we act like someone is going to pick him up if we drop him... pshttt Ill tell you what, some team in the NFl is just WAITING for us to release Brooks.. I will be PISSED.. Durant is that dude, frost is not.

Off topic, I know, but rather than a fight for the punter position I would liked to have seen a battle at the kicker position. To me Suisham just doesn't cut it sometimes, when for the most part Frost does cut it.
