Do you go with the old familiar hand knowing he's going to shank some and won't get you as far downtown? Or choose your newbie who can be counted on when you have the field to kick through but might be a wildcard in keeping it out of the endzone or away from a dangerous returner.
My opinion, if the team is past the midfield paint then McPherson is going to be out there most of the time not the punter. Kevin has been solid for many years, but this team would benefit more by the stronger leg.
Very interesting. I guess my main concern is with whom McPherson is comfortable as the holder. If he is equally comfortable, then I wouldn't mind seeing someone new get a chance. But having Clark Harris to Huber to McPherson has been Money in the bank.
