    I disagree. Sorry, but if you kick the ball 10-15 yards past the returner and it goes out of bounds, there is zero return and the opposing team is pinned deep. That's what he did in college. Yes, there are times when hang time is important, but not that many when you have a punter with a strong leg who can also kick directionally and has great control like Mann. Those times are when you're punting from the midfield area, and hopefully we won't ever be punting from there. With Ammendola's leg we could bury a FG.

    IMO it's also criminal to risk messing up a great punter by having him totally change the way he kicks.

    Hopefully, you're right about that being Gase or solely a product of our gunners being as slow as turtles last season. Mann is a great punter and I don't want to see his talents wasted by Boyer.

    i think the frequency of how often he kicked it over the PR head ath the NCAA level is overstated.

    Go look up his punting average and how many long punts he had.

    Exactly and it wasn't Mann who stunk last year.

    It was our special teams gunners who were freaking atrocious and who allowed 446 PR yards against us (31st) and if anything they would've allowed over 500 yards if not for Mann himself making 2-3 tackles himself.

    Thank the Football Gods for Justin Hardee because he only allowed 46 punt return yards last year (#1 All-Time within NFL history) and is one of the greatest Special Teams Gunners of All-Time.

    ▪︎ Joe Douglas didn't look to replace our punter. He made sure to replace his GUNNERS; because they were awful.

    ▪︎ Mann is going to look so much better this year (due to Justin Hardee).

    go look up how many times he kicked it over the PR head and get back to me.

    i know it happened. but you act like it happened every game several times a game.

    and NCAA PRs are not equivalent of NFL PRs.

    As fars as rocketing one OOB? I agree totally.

    In 2018 he averaged 51.0 yards per punt. Don't forget that's including punts or perhaps even games where he was intentionally making shorter punts to prevent a touchback. Against Alabama that year he had 5 punts and averaged 60.8 yards per punt. Against Kentucky he had 5 punts and averaged 59.6 yards per punt. In 5 other games that season he averaged over 50 yards per punt.

    In 2019, he worked more on hang time to prepare for the NFL, but still averaged 47.1 yards per punt. Against LSU, he punted 7 times and averaged 50.3 yards per punt. Against Auburn, he punted 6 times and averaged 56.0 yards per punt. In 3 other games that season he averaged over 50 yards per punt.

    Draw your own conclusions. We don't have to agree, and you are free to believe whatever you want.

    so when he averaged 51 yds the PR was lining up only 30 yds deep and he kicked it over his head?

    see what I am getting at? not his avg being big, but YOUR CLAIMS that he routinely kicked it 10-15 yds over peoples heads. nothing more.

    He has the ability to do that and had a number of punts over 60 yards. PRs usually like up 40-45 yards deep. If a punt goes over 50 yards, that could be 10 yards over the PR's head. If the punt went closer to 60, then it's definitely 10-15 yards over the PR's head. With 5 or more punts per game, do you really think that every single one of those punts went 50 yards? At least 1-2 of them probably were shorter so that the punt wouldn't result in a touchback. That means the other 4-5 punts were around 60 yards. C'mon guy, you know this.

    Is this your random football post before you push your jersey site again?

    Out of 19 posts
    10 push your website of knock off jerseys
    3 posts are you accusing another poster of pushing his website
    3 are just filler posts about jerseys where you must have forgotten to add the website

    Here are your 3 football related posts

    ":breakdance:"

    ":jets:
    I think Darrelle Revis is a good player"

    and this current one

    "Hopefully"

    Just go the fuck away

    He was walking around with a brace on, I'd be shocked if they let a player who showed any symptoms of severe ligament damage do something like that.
