Do we need a new Punter?

It's only been three weeks so far, but I am a bit underwhelmed. Robbins is a fairly unique player in that he has adequate hangtime with a short punting distance. However, there are a couple things to point here...

1. His hangtime isn't very good. This seems to be the most common thing brought up in regard to Robbins, but he isn't doing well here. He is averaging 4.29 seconds of hangtime, good for 25th out of 33 punters. This average would have ranked 19/36, 11/46, 26/40, 25/32, 19/33 over the last five seasons. His current hangtime average is also right in line with what he averaged in college, so it isn't like he is underperforming. 
2. His net average is current overperforming, I think. No punter in the last five years has had such a low average per attempt and a similar hangtime average, but we have some guys that are fairly close. There are six punters who have finished a season averaging right around 4.3 seconds of hangtime and less than 44 yards per punt. Out of these six players (332 punts), the yards per return average was 9.7 yards. The net average was 38.3. Given this information, I think as the season goes, I would expect Robbins net to actually drop to around the 36 yard range. Players will start pulling out returns against him.
   

He isn't great so far, and we need to see a little more distance out of him, or more hangtime. If he is able to boost his hangtime, then a shorter punting distance can work to nearly completely eliminate returns.
