Punters Galore - Training Camp Insider

There's no way Frost makes the roster if you ask me.

I say we just use the roster spot for another balanced TE and go for it on every 4th down.

Big C · 08-29-2006, 04:02 PM

we definitely need a new punter. frost is horrid

That Guy · 08-29-2006, 04:31 PM

i concur.

Bring back Joe Theisman to punt...

He may hold the record for the NFLs shortest punt.

Wonder if Slingin Sammy would punt for us until we found a replacement?
His record still holds today.

why is it so hard to get an nfl caliber punter? it seems like an eternity since the skins have had a good punter. how long has turk been gone? and even he flubbed one every so often

tupa was amazing, but too bad he got hurt and he was 40 years old

You'd think we'd be able to find a decent punter--he doesn't have to be all-pro, just not someone who shanks ever other kick.

offiss · 08-29-2006, 06:22 PM

The biggest question is why was Frost the front runner to begin with, no one gave serious consideration to the fact that this guy was, and is a lowsey punter, we should have had more than just one punter in camp to compete from the get go.

I agree--that always struck me as odd. I have serious doubts about Danny smith. Sure, he likes to yell, and he's Williams pal, but come on!

Redskins | E. Johnson released
Tue, 29 Aug 2006 16:01:16 -0700
Gary Fitzgerald, of Redskins.com, reports the Washington Redskins have released P Eddie Johnson. He was signed earlier in the day Tuesday, Aug. 29, but was released after one practice.

that was fast

That Guy · 08-29-2006, 07:31 PM

we had david lonnie. i think we should have taken koch (it's on record

) or araguz (sp?) who was the only competent punter in FA (but he WANTED to be a brown, go figure).

this draft was crap at punter though (2 sorta decent guys, 2 long shots). next year 2 good punters will be in the draft and a super kicker (this year he was 7/8 on 50+ yard FGs including something like a 57, 58, 58, 59 and i think he missed a 59).

FRPLG · 08-29-2006, 08:14 PM

jesus that was fast. never heard of a guy getting signed then cut in one day. you'd think he'd just get a workout before siging him and then a serious shot.
