Re: Redskins sign Veteran Punter Dirk Johnson

They'll cut him too...just like they cut Frost. Then GB will probably pick up Plack after he's cut from the Bengals.

I hope they have someone else who can do their holding duties. Brooks' leg was good (until hip flexor injury), but his holding killed us several times.

No wonder Zorn and other teammates screamed at the kid so much on the sidelines.

I've always thought it was stupid for your punter to be your holder. Your backup QB is more equipped to handle the ball, more able to make a play in case of a breakdown. It just makes more sense.

I wonder how El would do at holding for FG's?

He'd have to run 15 yards sideline to sideline before placing it down.

That's the first thing i thought of. Dirk Johnson was Diggler's next choice.

[quote=JoeRedskin;534346]You know who is in line to replace Derrick Frost in G-Bay?

You guessed it, Durant Brooks. [url=http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11402]Durant Brooks Stats, News, Photos - Green Bay Packers - ESPN[/url].

Very Funny!!! Punters have more lives than cats!

[quote=Buster;534308]Sounds good to me. My only concern is why this is his 5th team after only 7 years?[/quote]

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.

Frost was like Chuck Cecil playing punter! I loved that he pulled his helmet off like Emmitt every chance that he got, too.
