For example, there were a couple years where Morstead from the Saints should have gone to the Pro Bowl (his only appearance was 2012) due to his combination of directional accuracy, hang time, and distance, but because he didn’t lead in gross average, he didn’t go.

This is also why Shane Lechler went to approximately a billion Pro Bowls - the Raiders of that time were not good, so he had lots of long field punts, leading the league in gross, but it frequently came at the expense of long returns against them or touchbacks.

(And don’t get me wrong, Lechler was a good punter, but distance isn’t everything. This is also why net average can be deceiving, because it factors in your coverage team, which isn’t something you can control.)

Would have loved you in Seattle. We loved watching punters pin offenses deep, less about most yards. Booming punt that gets returned for a touchdown because out kicked coverage is not pro bowl worthy.

Yeah, Jon Ryan made some serious bank there hitting those shorter, unreturnable balls, but he had a leg on him too. Perfect example of doing what’s best for the team, not your stats.

I really enjoyed
@PatMcAfeeShow breaking down punting on a college football broadcast last weekend, I think more special teams guys should be a part of broadcasts. It's always interesting to read your perspective during games.Merci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer

Wish they included the “Touchback” and “inside the 20” stats. So you can see who is angling their punts more correctly

Hang time always seemed more important to me just because it gives your guys the most chance to prevent a return. (Obviously a ball that is in the air for six seconds isn't worth much if it only goes ten yards)
