Durant Brooks Venting Thread

Where was this support for Frost back in the preseason? Even when he was outkicking Brooks all we heard was Frost still needed to be cut.

You did not here that from me and I thought we should have kept Frost. Brooks will be OK its just fustrating when we had a decent punter and we let him go for some guy who is unproven.

Not saying it was you but it just seems strange that all of a sudden there's all this support for Frost. Hindsight sure is a bitch.

So true! Everyone cries for change and when it doesn't work they start crying for the old guy. So funny.

Frost had a snap go right through his hands and out of the endzone resulting in a safety yesterday. I think either way we were screwed.

2 Points versus 10. hhhhhhhmmmmmm.......

Yeah I will stick with the rookie because there is room for development.

Really, 2 points versus 3.

If you watched the hang time counter they had up on the Bush return, it was almost 5 seconds. *IF* it was Brooks' fault, it was because he was supposed to punt directionally (and didn't) and the coverage was cheating to the side he was supposed to kick to.

I haven't heard anything about whether that was Brooks' fault, though. The hang time on that punt was good and the coverage was AWFUL. They got sealed off from the hash over to the sideline. That punt with that coverage could have been returned for a touchdown by most returners in the NFL.

The blocking on punt returns has also been AWFUL. ARE hasn't been stellar, but then again he has had little to work with.

For those arguing that Frost "outkicked" Brooks in the preseason, look at the net and not the actual yardage of the kicks. Brooks' net was longer and his actual kicks were shorter on average. This was because he put his punts up higher and didn't outkick coverage. That's something frost did with regularity. Lots of shanks, lots of outkicked coverages.

Seriously, we play one of the most dangerous returners in the NFL and the rook drops a hold and Frost is suddenly jumping Jesus on a pogo stick.

I supported Frost all through preseason. I even voted for him on the Punter competition poll.
