How did the punter do??

I haven't watched the game yet. At a wedding.

We won, and we are 2-0. Don’t bother watching the game unless you want it to **** your night up.

To answer your actual question. He got four chances to punt, unfortunately. His first was another shank for about 27 yards. The next three were all about 50 yards, two with his left foot and one with his right.

 

[volsfan24017]

If he sticks to his left foot, he's good. Punting with right, not so good.

 

[northknoxvol]

Well he can kick with either leg but just not really good with either.

 

[barney]

only one shank tonight, I think? Improvement!

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Probably don’t watch this one and just wait until this coming Saturday

 

[The Shooter McGavin]

He had three great punts and one crappy one. The ball ends up doing some weird wobbly stuff which caused a muff of one of the returns.

Milton doesn't lose in Florida.

It should be a barn burner next Saturday!

 

[Zues1]

Maybe he should throw it...

Is there a pattern (left/right foot) to the shanks you’ve noticed?

He averaged 43 yards per punt. Very respectable.

So the three 50 yard punts weren't good enough?

Most importantly, one resulted in a turnover, which is supposedly an advantage of his kicking style.

You are correct, sir.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

One of his punts was fumbled and recovered by the Vols which led to 3 points. Apparently his ambidextrous kicks really mess with the receiver (different movement). That could be a huge deal if he can get dialed in consistently.

Was just about to post this. Second game and in front of 102k. I think he'll be a strength by mid season. Now Joe Milton? Not so sure about him.

 

[Vol8188]

lol didn’t even notice it until now

In my experience, most skanks are ambidextrous.

got me crackin up

 

[SpookyAction]

He looked better, but his shank rate is still @30%.
Too high.
I'll feel better when he puts it all together in one game.

Everytime they say he can punt a football with both legs, I think to myself, well I can do that too. They tend to not go very far for me either.

 

[Pride85]

One thing that is unique about a punter that can punt well with both feet is this. How much stress does that put on the opposition when they block or return. They have no idea which direction the punter will be going until the snap.

 

[Alto1]

Hopefully he will get better each game.
Definitely improved from game one to game two.

Wish our QB and WR’s would have done the same……….
