One game in bad weather does not mean he is bad. And lets be honest if we are kicking the ball 4 to 5 times beyond the 20 in a game, we are losing that game regardless of the punter in majority of cases.You are certainly going to lose if your punter cant flip the field position and your defense has to keep defending short fields all game long. Also if you have a struggling offense and they have to keep starting possessions deep in their own territory you are not helping them either.

His hang time and a 40 to 45 punt with no return at the 40 would put a team at the 15 to 20 yard line with no return...When you look at his stats, Robbins averaged about 41 yards a punt against the Browns so he was in that 40-45 per punt you are talking about and out of his 10 punts he only had 1 touch back so you might say he did ok. But just because you can average 41 yards a punt and have a 90% non touch back percentage doesn't mean you are a good punter. Yes Robbins might kick one 55 yards every now and then but what happens the rest of the time?
