Tupa Placed on IR

Groom has been the most consistant thusfar in the presason, or I should say has been consistant(since Mohr hasent punted for us). I'd say as long as Groom has a decent game vs Baltimore, we keep him.

I though Groom should have the job when Tupa was healthy. Pulling Mohr out of retirement really wasn't a viable option.

I hope Mohr was brought in so Groom could win it. A young punter shouldn't have to think he was the only option. If he wins the role, he's got confidence in his game. If he's the default choice, he'll suspect that Tupa was the guy they wanted, and he'd be jobless except for the injury.

I sure hope it is Groom he has done a fine job!!! :biggthump If he is cut someone will pick him up!!!! My only question is can Groom place the ball inside the 20 yard line?

He did pretty good at the Pittsburg game. I can see why we would want Mohr in there, but Groom is doing a fine job.

6 of his 13 have been inside the 20. that's not bad, as long as he gives coverage time to get to them. I think he's going to win the job.

You can teach placement, and accuracy but you can't teach a donkey blast kick. I think we keep Groom aka: the donkey

Andy Groom is much younger than Mohr or Tupa, so I think we should keep him and if he works out to have a good year maybe we won't be looking for a punter for a while. Further I'm sure if we release him someone will claim him yesterday, and we could miss out on a good young prospect.

i want groom to stay, he's been kicking it like there ain't no tomorrow. lol anyways that totally sucks that tupa is on IR. I thought he was one of the best punters in the league.
