Ben Graham is Amazing

[crisper57]

This guy deserves as much credit for our success this season as anyone. He literally tips the field possession battle in our favor every time he touches the ball.

He hasn't put a ball in the endzone since the Houston game. He's pinned opponents inside the 20 over 30 times. He averaged 50 yards a punt yesterday.

I think he's the best in the business right now.

There's a great article in this week's sports illustrated about punters and how valuable they are becoming to teams.

I agree with you, Graham is amazing.

I thought I heard on the broadcast of yesterdays game that Graham was heading to the pro bowl. Is that confirmed?

• With his appearance for the Cardinals in week 14, became the third player in NFL history to punt for three different teams in the same season (Steve Weatherford-NO, KC, Jax-2008; Tom Rouen-Den, NYG, Pit-2002). Had previously punted for the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints before signing with the Cardinals on 12/1/08.

Funny how kickers and punters get passed around, but we've had a lot of success with Rackers and Graham.

Obviously, Graham finally put it together here. The guy has been out-of-his-mind good this season. I'm just glad it didn't start to click when he was on the Jets or Saints.

He DESERVES the Pro Bowl, but I'm not sure if he gets it. It seems like the leader in yardage usually gets it, because no one really pays much attention to punters.

I think he was ranked 2nd.

He's getting coverage here in Oz too.

Has this been mentioned previously? I think I heard Madden mention it last season. "Graham's AFL punting style, with the nose pointing down, usually results in the ball spinning backward when it lands or popping straight, preventing the ball from bouncing into the end zone."

One thing that drove me nuts with Player was his consisently kicking the ball in the end zone. It is nice to have a punter that can down the ball inside the twenty.
