We need a new punter

2. In a small sample size, that's a lot of free yards given up. 9.4 yards per return is almost a free first down every punt return. Like I said, he was a ticking time bomb for a huge return.

HT is a premium stat. I don't have PFF or anything like that, so I can only go off of references to it from articles and tweets, like this one:

Worst in a decade haha.

I have to reiterate, I'm not talking about penalties: I'm talking about how we had a guy ready to make the tackle/impede the returner, thus the coverage was good (that was my point). If he isn't blocked in the back, the return doesn't go for 26.

And I will take bad HT with 10 yards more per punt any day of the week, over better HT with no yards: when you need to flip the field/coffin corner, you need someone with a big leg.

Again, I'm ready for someone completely new next year and punt (no pun intended) Robbins
