I don't understand why we didn't keep him all along? I know that Zas had a better net. average punting, but NOBODY pins the ball deep like Ben. Also, Zas has a tendency to punt line drives this year, which are being returned much farther than we expected. He may have also been the cause of Feeley missing so many kicks.

It looks like Whiz must feel that he can fix Zas, by keeping him on the roster. Hope he does better than he did with DA.


Maybe Zas has moxie:shrug:

You guys are crazy. Ben Graham was AWFUL last year.

Zastudil has been as bad.

As usual, the Cards FAILED to bring in a legitimate punting candidate, had to turn to a retread/hasbeen/never was in the preseason because Graham is horrible. And of course the retread/hasbeen/never was has been just as bad if not worse than Graham.

This easily could have been addressed in FA or the draft. We should find a legitimate young punter instead of continually bringing in older garbage.

Graham wasn't awful last year. He just had to punt so many times his leg wore out.

Seriously though his net average dropped 4 yards from '09 to '10. For a punter that's a huge differential. And not good.

Behind you
Urban says he's just a rental until the horrendous kicker we cut him for gets healthy again... in other words, the team can't admit it's mistakes as usual.

I think there's more to it than what was said. If Feely improves and his punts are great...it's his

the only reason we got him was because Zastudil is injured apparently... at least that's what the mouth of Sauron Darren Urban has said.

there's more to it than that.

Z hasn't pinned any inside the ten...even on easy punts. The ball keeps going into the endzone.
