I guess if there is any reason to replace him, it would be his durability, but he was great when in the game.

I doubt we'll be playing so desperately from behind that we'll need some Zorny plays involving punters scoring TDs...so his gadget-play factor is no reason to hold onto him.

Shame, I liked Hunter the Punter a lot, but at least we're getting a quality punter I've heard of in Bidwell. He's a former Pro Bowler.

The kicking situation continues to be a concern regardles of whether it's punter or place kicker. They're both two of the most unsettled positions on the team.

This guy is a proven pro. I have no concerns about the punting. Smith was declining, the numbers prove it.

I think the place kicker from FSU could turn out to be a long term solution.


At least we don't have the Choking Cowboy Retread (who singlehandedly lost 2 games for us last year) and the idiotic punter who could not stop pulling his helmet off.

Being able to acquire some long term stability at either position would be ideal. Bidwell has established himself in the league, but he's a twelve year veteran with a limited future to say the least. Gano has yet to establish himself because of his infancy, his youth could afford him the opportunity to be a long-term solution. Time will tell.
