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.
Simmons has called it even in terms of Chrisman and Huber in terms of holding.
"A year ago in practice there was a big difference in Evan's effectiveness between Kevin and Drue," Simmons said before Thursday's joint practice with the Rams at the Kettering Health Practice Fields.
"He was much more effective with Kevin with a higher percentage than Drue," Simmons said. "This year it's a dead heat …. They've been statistically identical as far as makes and misses."
