Hopefully he can turn it around, but these three games have been pretty bad and there won't be a lot of leash for a punter who struggles with punting the ball. We certainly may as well stick with him until any other option becomes reasonable.
I wasn't even paying attention to the punting game until I saw comments here and elsewhere on social media.
The hate this dude is getting seems like an insane overreaction by Bengals fans.
He's not wowing anyone (i guess) with his leg but it seems like you can almost guarantee none of his punts are gonna be returned more than a handful of yards and mostly be a fair catch. Isn't that the sort of reliability fans were clamoring for last year?
What good is a 60 yard punt if it gets returned 20 yards?
If i do a search on the internet for Brad Robbins, I don't see one member of the press writing a negative article about him (or at all really). This outrage seems limited to fans only.
He's 3rd in the league on avg return yards...he's exactly what the Bengals drafted and now people seem to be upset. I don't get it. So if someone wants to break it down for me so I can get where y'all are coming from, I'm all ears (eyes).
