The Official Cut Durant Brooks Thread

I'd rather have a few muffed punts than not being able to count on field goals and extra points.

Yeah but it's not like Brooks is the only guy that can catch a snap.

Frost was better, he was always consistent and never shanked any punts....

This kid's a rookie, if he doesn't improve towards the later part of the season, get another punter for next year. For better or worse, he's our punter this year.

frost might have been better,but never shanked any punts?he was good for at least 1 shank a game up to last yr,he was better last yr,but he did occasionally shank them

Are you kidding me? His shitty punts all day set them up in our territory more than once.
All day? So you ignored the good punts he had? The one that landed at the two? Oh yeah, that doesnt count. LOL please.

Also, no one took the kicks to the house, and our D did well. Sure Brooks needs to work on his stuff, w.o a doubt but I dont think you cut him right now. I love this forum sometimes, I wish the mods would ban some of the people here for not being "knowledgeable fan". It would make the Path a heck of a lot better.

I guess you haven't been watching many games but remember when Suisham missed a 30 yard field goal because of Durant not being able to get the snap down? Remember Zorn ripping his head off on the sidelines? Yeah, he's costing us field position AND points

he fixed that today and held fine for the FGs and XPs

He's not punting consistently. He's a rookie. Its not like, though, he's fucking up the 'skins big time.

Okay I'll give it to him, he has ONE GOOD PUNT. Over the last three games his kicks have DIRECTLY cost us two touchdowns and a field goal. He had a bad hold earlier this season that cost us 3 more points.

Did he have any other good punts today? One, maybe two. How many horrible ones did he have? Several.

If "no one took the kicks to the house" is the standard of a punter in the NFL these days, then by all means, don't cut him, he didn't have a punt returned for a touchdown for the first time in 3 weeks. He's improving!

I'm sorry if I'm not a "knowledgeable fan" for wanting more out of my punter than you.

Dont get me wrong, I think it is a problem. Is it the main problem? IMO, I don't think so.

Bigger issues:
-the offense not getting off the ball(score efficiently and early), and being consistent for ALL FOUR quarters.
-Finding out who we are(identity)
-Zorn's ability to lead this team after losing to the worst team in the NFL

Yeah, I'm not knowledgeable because I don't always look at the good in things. I never said we should cut him anyway. He had one good punt and the rest were lousy. But hey, he can catch the ball for a field goal attempt. WOW, that makes him great.
