Guess I had reason to think they might (http://www.thewarpath.net/showthread.php?t=8068&highlight=Groom)

Wow....another example of us not settling for medicore play.

wha?? jeez, did Groom cause a turnover too? i liked the guy, strong leg and nothing but room to grow. oh well, hope this guy is good?

Wow, good cal TAFKAS! Surprise to me, though I will say that as I watched games yesterday, I was very aware of how weak our special team play has been--other teams are pinning people and getting serious return yardage; we're really not.

Groom had a weak average and couldn't pin folks. There are lots of punters out there, so bye-bye. Wonder if this new guy wil be an improvment.

So, we've lost our punter, our PK, and our return man. We've got to fix that part of our game. Specials all but lost the Dallas game with that kickoff return. And field position is crucial--we've been playing on a long field all year, it seems. That affects playcalling and makes it harder to score points.

WOnder if Danny Smith makes it through the year? Who coached specials in Gibbs first tenure? ;)

Wayne Severe(sp?) and he was good. Real good. One of the best.

our ST's still stink... coverage is improved, i'm not sure danny is that great though.

This new guys average is a whopping 1 yard more, or 0.6yards more net average... i'm not sure its really much of an upgrade.

Hm, I'm concerned about this punter turnover. It's going to be hard for our kickers to get used to new holders.

I think they pulled the plug a little to soon...hopefully Groom does not turn into the punting equivilent of David Akers.

The guy was punting awesome in preseason - I know it was only preseason, but that shouldn't matter how he was kicking the ball. Problem is, he hasn't shown the same leg during the regular season.
