[quote=That Guy;469050]i was at the game, and while the yardage is close, brooks launches moonshots while frost outpunts his coverage with line drives.

neither were terrible, but the hang time difference was ridiculous.

brooks for me.[/quote] Well said......now if we could find a west coast QB and some WR's along with a younger line we would be set!

Re: Who will win the punter battle?
 

brooks..must have hangtime

Re: Who will win the punter battle?
 

I want Brooks. Frost is an average NFL punter that we will be talking about replacing every offseason until we eventually do. Brooks has the chance to be more then that.

Re: Who will win the punter battle?
 

Either one that is let go will be available if the one that is kept gets the shanks...i'd rather go with youth at this point. The Skins used a pick on Brooks, let him keep the job.

Re: Who will win the punter battle?
 

I think Frost has out performed Brooks and if I thought this team had a really good chance to make a push for the SB I'd say stick with Frost. I think Brooks is going to be a better punter and I don't think it going to really matter this year I'm going with Brooks. I do think Frost will be with another team pretty quick if we cut him.

blah firstdown we are not sb contenders this year. its a rebuilding year, new coach new system....lets stick with the kid and let him grow

Well if you read what I posted thats what I said.

Re: Who will win the punter battle?
 

Think they'll keep Frost. Hope they choose Brooks.

Re: Who will win the punter battle?
 

I voted Brooks because mainly I have a good feeling about the Redskins desire to keep him and cut Frost. Also think that Wade and Mason might get the boot to.

Re: Who will win the punter battle?
 

I'm glad Sir Shanksalot is gone. He's good for a 60 yarder punt immediately followed by two 30 yarders.. We know who he is, there are 15 Derrick Frosts out there so if for some reason Brooks is a bust we won't be in a worse position than where we are now.

Frostys farewell message to Dan, his Ex-Teammates & THE FANS. I wish the guy the best.

Frost Sends a Message

Punter Derrick Frost sent this email this evening to thank fans and the organization. He was cut from the team Saturday:

"I very much appreciate the opportunity to put in greater perspective
my comments in response to being released by the Redskins yesterday.
As much as I regret them, the quotes don't reflect my appreciation for
this area, my teammates, the world-class Redskins fans, or the unique
tradition the Redskins have built in this region over several
generations. It is an honor to have played for this organization and
before these great fans for over three years, and I can only hope for
a similar experience with my next team.

While I believe that I performed well enough to have earned the
punting job this preseason, the ultimate decision does not belong to
me. The fact of the matter is that playing for a professional sports
team is a privilege. Durrant Brooks is a fine young punter and I wish
him great success here in Washington. He is fortunate to team with
Ethan Albright and Shaun Suisham. I loved working with them, and look
forward to a continued friendship with them and their families.

It is joked that punters and kickers should rent, not buy. But my
wife, Sarah, and I have really fallen for this city. We are expecting
our first child in February, and want to raise our family here, no
matter where my next NFL opportunity takes me.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity Mr. Snyder gave me here in my
favorite city. I regret that my performance here did not make the
Redskins want to extend my tenure.

I wish my Redskins teammates and fans all the best this year and down
the road."

Derrick Frost

Re: Who will win the punter battle?
 

He'll find a job in the near future. Another good decision by the team to move forward.

He's about to sign with the Packers.

If he gets the Pack gig good for him, if it gets done that didn't take long for Frosty. Good for him.

Green Bay is expected to sign former Redskins punter Derrick Frost.


The NFL’s leading rusher in the preseason, Marcus Mason, is expected to sign with Baltimore’s practice squad.


There were 32 players claimed on waivers, proving that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
