Redskins Sign P Josh Bidwell

If you look at Hunter's stats last year, he was in the bottom half in avg and net. Couple that with the injury issues, I guess they just figured it was worth it to move on.

Is he as big an offensive weapon as Hunter Smith? :)

I guess if there is any reason to replace him, it would be his durability, but he was great when in the game.

I doubt we'll be playing so desperately from behind that we'll need some Zorny plays involving punters scoring TDs...so his gadget-play factor is no reason to hold onto him.

Shame, I liked Hunter the Punter a lot, but at least we're getting a quality punter I've heard of in Bidwell. He's a former Pro Bowler.

Rumor is that Bidwell is the MASTER of the swinging gate play!

And I don't think Bidwell even played last year

Tampa Bay Buccaneers punter Josh Bidwell lost for year with hip injury - St. Petersburg Times (http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/tampa-bay-buccaneers-punter-josh-bidwell-lost-for-year-with-hip-injury/1028441)

looks like a hip injury just got worse and worse until he needed surgery, the article says there shouldn't be any long term effects but we will find that out in the next few months. hopefully he works out and goes back to pro bowl caliber. having good defensive field position last year kept us in alot of games

The kicking situation continues to be a concern regardles of whether it's punter or place kicker. They're both two of the most unsettled positions on the team.

I would think based on what we are doing at other positions that at least 1 more punter will be signed. I wouldn't think this gaurentees that Bidwell is our punter this year.

Rumor is that Bidwell is the MASTER of the swinging gate play!

:laughing2 Whew! I can relax now.

I miss Hunter the Punter already.
