But the highest average in the NFL in 2022 for net punt average was one punter who had an average of 45, then three with an average of 44. Many were 40 yards or less, including Huber with 37 yards average. Jordan Stout, considered a good punter, only had an average of 41. I would take "poor" or "pretty bad" for 40 yards in punt average, but "absolutely atrocious"? The all-time record in the NCAA is only 45. 

I would think Robbins would get his net average up. He had a net average of 44 in college.

Without even looking up stats, I know that 45 yards is a good punt average, and that a typical punt return is around 8 yards. That would only be a 37 yard net. I doubt that 40 would be a terrible net.

That said, I'm not going to defend our punter. I'd give him another week or two, and if he can't get squared away, I'd look to pick someone up.
