Those cheap shot b@$+@!#s 

Yet agree that the mileage on his leg coupled with his age was the reason for his decline. Have a good pic of him, Harris, and Nugent taken from my seat.  

Good dude and a really good punter.

Yep, and Stoolers players told Bengals players during pre-game warmups they were coming after our punter, and the league did nothing about it.

Disagree with this Housh, at least with Punters, they have to be pretty damn great athletes. They can jump crazy high while 
Kicking the ball as far as possible while nearly kicking themselves in the face. Now Kickers, yeah, those are the softest dudes 
in football, but some of them are buff too.

You know it Sled, it is strenous on the body, just different than all the other positions and Punters DO get hit lots.

They aren't protected nearly as much as Kickers.

Good stuff George.

2nd in Yard Per Punt (45.3, only Chrisman has higher -47.8)
2nd in Net Yards Per Punt (40.2, only Chrisman has higher - 42.6)
Tied Longest Punt - 75 yards

I wonder if one day he might be worthy of getting into the RoH

Stats are one component  of course a big component but this is a fan vote b.not an account vote, hia other intangibles like hometown boy and playing his career here will help him

Nice long career by Huber. Hope he finds happiness in the next phase of his life.

Huber will definitely make it into the RoH some day.
