Just for variety, let's talk about....oh, Dave Zastudil.

[Ed Burmila]

Enough about this Manning fellow.

He couldn't punt a ball made of flubber* more than 30 yds.


*if you're under 40 you probably don't know what flubber is.

bring back feeley, kick zast.

They are both free agents as of Tuesday at 4 pm. We will need a kicker and punter. I would resign Freely. There are a couple of good punters coming out of college. Not sure if we should use a low round draft pick or sign an undrafted free agent punter the day after the draft.

I hear he is leaning towards Miami -- but that is based on a top secret conference call

Zastidul didn't do much to impress. I say let him walk.

As for Feely, a question for those of you who were at the games last season: Was Feely getting more hangtime on his kickoffs than the opposing kickers? For having the spot moved 5 yards forward, he seemed to have fewer touchbacks than most. Anyone know where to find the stats on Cards touchbacks vs opponents?

By any measure, Feeley was awful in the kickoff game. He consistently put our defense at a disadvantage. I mentioned his lack of kickoff touchbacks last preseason and was shouted down because I was a "hater" and that letting the defense get the ball at the 35 was a "strategic decision" for the preseason.

NFL.com has good raw stats on the kicking game. FootballOutsiders.com has a nice efficiency ranking for the special teams game: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamst

Cards were below-average in every aspect of ST play except punt return, where we essentially lapped the league.

Let them both walk.

Eh, there was a Robin William remake in the 90's...

Actually they do:

They think it is this:

You must be registered for see images attach

and you think it is this:

IMHO, you're right.

 

[az1965]

We definitely need upgrade at punter

 

[Snakester]

I say punt the punter and dropkick the kicker out of town.

You Sir, are quite the wordsmith!
