Is this supposed to put the Fear of God in the rest of the roster with regard to on-field accountability? Give me a break. If on-field accountability mattered, at least a third of this roster would be looking for work in a warehouse by now. The players do not fear The Wrath of the Shanny any more now than they did a week ago.

Did the team get better? Maybe. But when you are expending effort tweaking the performance of your punter, normally the rest of the team is playing lights-out football. Here, we see yet one more PR move by the Skins. Special teams f*cked up a field goal so somebody has to be hung out to dry.

The famous scribe Billy Shakespeare had the line that best describes this entire matter in MacBeth (Act V, Scene V I believe):

Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing...

DO you not think that they believe (as I do) Hunter is NOT the punter and with a handful of essentially meaningless games left that a better time could not be chosen to evaluate some other possible answers at this and some other positions for next year?
