Seems strange not to bring Hunter back unless we were going for some youth movement.

Hunter just wasn't that good last year.

Ok, but he was 24th in net and 32nd in avg. I am not losing sleep over letting a bottom 10 punter go.

It isn't like we are letting Lechler go.

Bring back Durant Brooks! Best pick ever.

Smith had some leg issues wonder if that played into the decision to move on.

True. They almost had to release him during the season last year.

I hope this is trully about compitition and they sign hunter. Let the best punter win in training camp.

Bidwell's competition will probably come in the form of a young guy I'd imagine.

Hunter was arguably the MVP of the redskins last year! Why are we signing this guy when there is a perfectly good punter right here?

I think that his touchdowns are clouding things. He was hurt last year. One game we had the placekicker fill in. Then we had to bring in some journeyman and Smith was using up a valuable roster spot. I forget which week it was but Zorn said they were going to drop him if he didn't play. Is it possible his leg injury is still a concern of theirs?

He was a bottom 8 punter in net and avg. That is too much drama for a bottom 8 punter.

How about Hunter the Placekicker?

I think he should be QB so we can quick-punt it on 3rd down.

Didn't think of that one did ya Zorn!?

Monkeydad · 03-23-2010, 02:09 PM

If it had thought of it...I honestly think he would have tried it. Scary.

A memory beers will never erase. My 12yo son, a giants fan, my best friend from high school, a giants fan, and myself, all sitting in fed ex. they line up, swing the gate. the timeout is called, my friend says what the heck, I turn to him and say "they will do it again- just watch". "no way!" he replies. then they do, i just shook my head.
