Brooks vs. Frost and 80 is Enough(?)

[Schneed10]

I think I read somewhere (can't remember where, unfortunately) that Danny Smith said (paraphrasing):

With punters, there are about 10 in the league who stand out, and then the rest are just a bunch of guys. Derrick is a guy.

And adding to that, there aren't just 22 "guys" who can punt. There are probably 30-40. Given that, you can certainly let Frost go. Chances are he'll still be available if you need him, or at minimum, a "guy" like him will be available.

Brooks gives you that upside. He's got the potential to join the 10 who stand out. We already know that Frost doesn't stand out.

Yeah, I think this is probably true. Cut Frost, let Brooks work with the first team and, if he bombs, pick up "a guy" from somewhere. Use the space on a lineman (offense or defense) to give some rest to our starters.

Or just resign Frost, I really dont think there is going to be a high demand for the guy. He should be avalible I would think at the start of the season if we need.
