This guy is a real liability. His lack of hangtime is glaring and it cost us dearly tonight. The second Burrow was sacked
3rd down I was just dreading what might happen next on the punt and sure enough he hits a liner setting up for an easy return. The ball gets to the returner so fast we don't have anybody within 5 yards to make a tackle. Is this something that can be worked on specifically for a punter? If it can't then the search needs to be on for our next punter.

Yeah, I think he was the answer to Huber, but I think we need a new answer for next year.

Maybe Matt Ariza's case gets some clarity and he becomes available.

That would be ideal aside from maybe a couple days worth of bad publicity when he is signed.

I guess I was wrong that he couldn’t have punted that last one out of bounds but at least angle it better so that the returner has to move sideways a little? I don’t know but he hasn’t impressed me much so on to the next guy

Zac won’t bring that to the locker room.

This is an excellent post
Definitely need an upgrade at punter.
Hitting a lot of short line drives with no hang time

Not seeing it either?
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American

Are you being facetious?

Chrisman had his chance and has issues. I agree it is time to search for a new punter next year. Maybe even draft one. lol

Short line drive punts are totally unacceptable in a game like this. Not sure the kid was up to the task.

Yea, he isn't great. But we knew that before this game. His lack of hang time has been well documented. It just hadn't bitten us in the ass yet.
Now it has.
Maybe we use a late round pick on a punter this year. If we had Stonehouse, I think we probably win this game.
Or at the very least we get to overtime.

Btw while we’re bashing bad special teams play - how many damn penalties did Dax Hill have this postseason? Starting to think the kid has million dollar talent, and a 10 cent brain.
