Punting Woes

[arkansasvol3]

We need a new punter. Florida would never have been in a position to tie the game if we didn’t kick a short line drive RIGHT to the returner in the 4th. We need to stop trying to be smarter than everyone else with this rugby style BS, or again, just don’t kick it right to the dude on a frozen rope.

 

[vols 30]

Agree, but he's just a sophomore. Better get used to it

 

[37620VOL]

2 bad punts for sure but he's done well when you look at the full season. I'm still patiently awaiting a well-timed fake punt.

 

[lukeneyland]

I thought he mostly had a good game. He pinned Florida deep in their own end twice. Can we just not enjoy a win over a bitter rival and appreciate the guys that made it happen

 

[OrangeCola]

don't miss the tackle would help too

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Think the title of this thread is a bit misleading. He messed up with that punt no question but we don't have punting problems. He has put several inside the 20.

What if he kicks it with his other foot? Does that count as replacement?

 

[Panthro]

Why have we not seen a fake yet? The guy runs like a 4.5.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Our punter is fine. Dumb thread

Absolutely. I'm at the point where I want to see them put it on film not just for the successful fake punt but also because the future threat of it will help our punt coverage and punt protection units.

Ross had 7 punts with 3 inside the 20, a 45.6 yard average and a long of 53 yards.

Seriously?

Doesn't matter. We're infected with Vols player haters. If there's the slightest reason to denigrate a player, they will. If no reason exists, they will invent one.

Seriously?

That'll do fine till another Colquit comes along.

 

[zeppelin128]

Our punting and kicking game has been solid all year. Ross consistently pins teams deep and flips the field.

What a bizarre thread.

 

[Hairy Vols]

Next you should do RB Woes. Let’s collect the whole set.

 

[VolInDayton]

He made a bad decision at the end of the game, that doesn't put a punter on the bench when he's been pretty good here

 

[temptn]

We don't need no stinking punter.

Silly overreactions to one play. A sector of our fan base does it all the time

 

[TAF]

Ross is AVERAGE...AT BEST!

Like there is plenty to critique about this team, but punting ain't one of them. Lol

 

[Carp]

It would be nice if the Refs would call penalties when they happen. Clear block in the back on that last punt return.

Battered Vol Syndrome

 

[ButchPlz]

Seriously?

I was about to ask "what punting woes"?

It's like people want the dude to average 75+ yards a punt and put it on the 1 every single time. Insane.

No, on 3rd and 18 , Banks rushes only 4, plays soft zone coverage and allows TD pass. Game should have never went to overtime
