We need a new punter

2. the problem wasn't 1 punt. Drue had the worst hang time of any punter last season, iirc. He was (and still would be) a ticking time bomb for a horrible punt return at any time. And his average is only a few yards higher than Robbins'. They are both terrible, but Drue can ruin a game.


That 19 yard punt was brutal. I have no idea why the Bengals just let it continue to bounce forward for like 10 yards. If you see the ball bouncing against your team, you down it, you don't watch it bounce.

As bad as the 31 yard punt was, it still beats the 25 net punt we got from Drue against KC.

The bottom line is they both suck. We need a new punter bad.

1. I'm not though, CJD: bad punt or not, the tackler was in position to either make the play or impede the returner. Whether there is a penalty or not, an illegal move shoved that defender out of the play, hence the reason I brought it up.
2. Let's be realistic, it was one punt: the longest return he gave up besides the Chefs punt, was 16 to Proche in the Bmore Playoff game. Next was 13 yards to CJ Board of Tennessee.

So that's 1 that was over 16 yards. Average return is 9.4, so let's just say 9. Chrisman gave up 9 returns over the average (included TBs with that as they are a net of 20 for the return team and there were only 2 TBs), so only 7 punts of the 37 were truly allowed to be returned, over the league average. 13 of them were in 20 and only 1 was shanked.

He had 13 downed or Fair Caught, so almost double of the amount of, "long," returns, he had TBs and FCs.

And each of his numbers across the board were better than Robbins this year.

Wish I could find HT stats...
