Re: Is Johnson a upgrade to Plackemeier
 

Not really. I thought Plack would get another shot. I thought he was improving.

Dirk's numbers aren't as good as Frosty's.

Re: Is Johnson a upgrade to Plackemeier
 

Is this some kind of trick question 44... LOL.

No i think this is just another FA move we can't really understand.

Re: Is Johnson a upgrade to Plackemeier
 

So 3 pages into the Dirk Johnson signed thread you couldn't bring this up?

We're going to get along nicely.

I liked Frost. He liked hitting people.

Now thats the 10 mil dollar ...? We will find out in camp & beyond if need be....

Re: Redskins sign Veteran Punter Dirk Johnson
 

This move shows that we made punting priority number 10

Sorry Ruhskins. It does beat the Booger McFarland Thread:smashfrea IMO. And Im pissed we didnt pick up Hunter if we had the chance.

Also, If you read the posts on that thread you will notice most of them are ignorant due to the fact that they assume Johnson is much better when they obviously have not checked the stats. This thread gives the reader a clear comparison between Plack and Johnson. It amazes me how little credit most fans give to the punting position.

Re: Is Johnson a upgrade to Plackemeier
 

I'm gonna quote myself from the other thread:

[quote=GMScud;534515]I'm not sure about this move. His punting average last year (41.8) was a whole tenth of a yard better than Plackemeier (41.7).

Is this somehow and upgrade? In his 7 year career he's only averaged over 42yds/punt twice.[/quote]

thank you tramplethe elderly. It's always good to notice a man who enjoys his chuck norris jokes. It is rumored that he masturbates using a monkey wrench and a blow torch.

This would make sense if Warner came with Johnson.

Re: Is Johnson a upgrade to Plackemeier
 

I guess they just want a little ore competition maybe?

I like the yearly punter competition; it gives us something to look forward to.

Re: Redskins sign Veteran Punter Dirk Johnson
 

good move.. hes a pretty good punter. hopefully he still has some leg left

Re: Redskins sign Veteran Punter Dirk Johnson
 

Why do we always have trouble finding good kickers?

bzzzz wrong answer. this was an inexplicable move!

[quote=SOUL-SKINS;534568]Why do we always have trouble finding good kickers?[/quote]

Um, I'm no NFL scout but, I know a guy named Hunter Smith that is available for the right price. I think he's pretty good too. We should have just kept Plack if we were'nt going after someone better.

This is exactly why I started the Johnson vs Plack thread. It clearly showed the stats. And the fact that Johnson is actually a downgrade to Plack. But it got merged so its in here somewhere.

I know eventually I'll drop it, but do people realize that out of [B]53[/B] punts last season Hunter Smith had [B][U]2[/U][/B] Touchbacks. And [B][I]43%[/I][/B] inside the 20.

I guess we don't mind 1st and 10 at the 40 YL for the opposing teams on punts. Im optomistic but. We are still the same ol Skins in many ways.

By the way. Why can't we see who's on-line at the top of the page anymore?

Hey, my Booger McFarland thread can beat a 2nd thread about a punter any time! :boxing:

By the way, Matt Stover is available, I think the Ravens are letting him go. I know he's really old, but he's still a good kicker.

Of if Johnson was still their punter in the Super Bowl. Week 13 was his last week with the Cards.

Are you confusing kickoff rules with punting? :D

If a punt goes out of bounds, it's no "place the ball at the 40" penalty, they get the ball where it went out.
