Punting: Key part of last nights win

[RugbyMuffin]

When it came down to the punting game, Graham dominated Jeff Feagles.

It seemed Graham kept the Giants behind their own 20 yard line all day long, and Feagles couldn't even get the ball past the 50 yard line all night.

Huge part of this game and this win.

Special teams played a big part in this win, and none was bigger than the part that Graham produced against Feegles. That field position gain was huge in this win.

Amen, HUGE praise for Graham. He and Rackers show why good special teams players are invaluable.

I read a Feagles comment that he was trying to keep the ball away from Breaston.

Probably told to do that by a coach - but I suspect he meant kick to the other side, not kick short.

The special teams play was great. but the first INT by DRC was one of the best I have seen.

Graham has really had an excellent year for the Cards and has made a difference.

The dumb part is the Giants were apparently directional kicking to keep the ball from Breaston. My comment is why? he hasn't really been breaking punt returns, had a couple of decent ones last week but he's not Devin Hester back there. Why kick away from him?

I think he just had a bad night punting and the wind got to him for some reason. I don't buy the kicking away from Breaston excuse one bit. It would be the first time ever that someone has purposely kicked away from him. If anything, teams should kick the ball high because he hates to call fair catch.
