Redskins Sign Veteran Punter Johnson

Boogie on!

Why does the article about the punter show him about to drop back to pass? Is he the next Tupa?

I saw that and got a laugh. Might be our new #2 QB as well! Or maybe.....

Sounds good to me. My only concern is why this is his 5th team after only 7 years?

Quote:

For his career, Johnson has 320 punts for a 41.7-yard average and a 35.9-yard net average. He has never had a punt blocked in his career.

Johnson also has experience serving as holder on field goal attempts.

Last year, Johnson was with the Cardinals and had 40 punts for a 41.8-yard average and 35.2-yard net average.

That's somewhat a high number of teams but not too uncommon with punters and kickers. Kickers are valued on their latest streak and will almost always get released for a cheaper alternative. Anythings better then Sir Ryan Shankalot.

I still think we were too quick to cut Brooks.

I agree, we should have put him on IR and kept him around to compete this camp.

Monkeydad · 03-05-2009, 02:03 PM

Looks like he consistently puts 1 out of every 4 punts inside the 20 and has 60-yard punt capability.

Big upgrade already.

He BETTER NOT wear #9 though.

Let's just issue him #1 like we do with most of our punters.

Nice...let's get those 2 O-lineman next.
