Anyone have an update on punters? Kiwi vs Oz

Early on but he’s got a big leg.

^^ the new kid, he means...

 

Think it'll come down to the pre season games. It's virtually impossible to unseat a veteran in Osh's Army, but if there's a clear difference between the two......

The new punter can put it high and far. Decent sideline accuracy as well. But his hang time is what caught my attention.

Hopefully the new guy unseats our incumbant punter.

Osh likes placement and consistency from the punter. He said that in one of the daily pressers.

Qft.  
likely has to be able to out angle sheahan and have the depth control to optimize for shorter punts. 
 From the bit I’ve seen it’d be an easy decision based on the frequent shanks we saw last year. 
 
At the same time, with the incredible talent in Evans leg combined with having just turned 24 and just strived up here, he should at worst be guaranteed a pr spot for a while.

Give him a body guard so no rookie dbs make a terrible mistake

Yep, those looking for more hang time ain't the boss.

Went to practice this morning. Nothing ground breaking to report. Thought the running back 36, smaller American guy looked solid. Really effective blocker in the one on ones.

Quinton Cooley.

They do want hang time, they don’t thing highly of deep punts. Accuracy and control are foremost. Then hang time. Depth/leg power is pretty much last.

Would be nice to see someone step up if Logan isn't ready.
