Is there anything this guy can't do?

Re: Hunter Smith is Player of the Week
 

Hunter has as many TD's as Portis, and tied with Moss.

Stay healthy.

Ah I knew there was something, well played sir

Re: Hunter Smith is Player of the Week
 

Best FA signing of the decade. Hunter is saving VC job.

Re: Hunter Smith is Player of the Week
 

wow that's just pathetic that our punter is just as likely to score a touchdown as the offense

i'd almost say more likely his odds have to be better

Re: Hunter Smith is Player of the Week
 

You said he would be our best FA acquisition Lotus. You are a prophet my man. Did you envision this kind of offensive production? :) He's been the bright spot on offense so far.

Your prophet virtually guaranteed a win over the Lions and thus is a false prophet. :)

But, yes, I was psyched when we got Hunter and still would be psyched even if he weren't our most dynamic offensive threat.

I remember when it seemed like everyone was gung-ho on Lechler (I think it was Lechler). Wonder how he's doing this year

Re: Hunter Smith is Player of the Week
 

Lechler is in serious competition to beat Sammy Baugh's punting average record. I for one am hoping for a few shanks.

Is he really? Wow. Oh well, I always figured we'd get Hunter and not Lechler and I'm pleased with what we got

just checked him out at nfl.com, very impressive he'll should be afc pro bowl punter, average of 51.5 and long of 70, that ain't too shabby

Re: Hunter Smith is Player of the Week
 

Lechler can punt....but can he score? :laughing- He's probably the best punter in the league but I'm very happy with Hunter. The dude's amazing. He's showing his talents in Washington. Who knew?

Re: Hunter Smith is Player of the Week
 

Excluding touchdown plays, I think Hunter is the most solid punter that we've had in a long time. Over time and with health he and Lechler will get closer in terms of numbers. I'm quite happy with Hunter. Punts no longer are potential "uh oh" plays.

Lechler
punts 57
avg 51.5
net avg 44.8
touchbacks 4
fair caught 6

Smith
punts 24
avg 42.5
net avg 38.6
touchbacks 2
fair caught 10

100 % agree, except for when he is injured

Hunters ability to position a punt also seems outstanding. I don't know Lechler enough, but am quite content with ole Hunter.

it's cause he has been in oakland for the last decade, he has been a solid punter over the years but no one pays attention to oak anymore, but they have good kickers they also have janickowski too e has been there for a while as well
