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.

Real good prospect as a rb, but i don’t think hes the kr/wr super sub guy

To be fair the new guy was imo just as good putting them between the numbers and the sideline as the vet.

I was really looking forward to a change of pace guy to pair off with Brady. But I guess it would be tough to have a DA without them playing that returner role.

got the build of Blo-De Dorzon, but hopefully the talent of Joe Smith

Dude - in another couple years they'll have the perfect scheme for Sheehan's putting.

I do agree, it is a real small sample so far though. I look forward to seeing him in pre season. Tbh sheahan looks better when he isn’t being rushed at game speed too. I’m very optimistic, this could be our best global draft yet.
