He said they didn't have nearly enough hang time and he didn't force a single fair catch. He said a punter making the tackle isn't a good thing haha.
I think Pacman knows the punting game, so I kind of hope we stick with Huber. It sounds like Chrisman hits line drives that could result in big returns because the coverage unit isn't given enough time to get to the return man.
Pac is exactly right. Everyone saying "go with the big leg" shows a total lack of understanding of the kicking game. You don't want a punter to boom it 80 yards downfield just to have the return man bring it back 50 because the punter outkicked his coverage. You need hang time more than distance so the gunners can be right there to force the stop. This is basic football. And Huber still had more finesse on dropping it inside the 10. Stick with what works, not only as a punter bur as a holder for Shooter. If we go with Chrisman and Evan starts missing, we'll all know why.
