Redskins Add New Punter

[TheSmurfs22]

You got to wonder if Derek Frost isn't laughing his butt off.

Brooks will pan out in the long run, but he has a long way to go.

Chip was a kicker, not a punter.

Well dont think Frost is having any better luck either.

He shouldn't be. The kid beat Frosty Paws out in camp and STILL wasn't good enough to keep the job. What's that say about Frost? Yeah, he WAS that bad.

I had to look up Plakemeyer's stats. He looked good. 40+ average every year, hit a 72-yard punt in 2006 and a 62 yarder in 2007...looks better on paper than Brooks.

He'll be wearing #1. Reggie Roby's number. I hope he does it justice.

Why did we sign this punter to a two year deal?

heard steve largent was coming in for a try out tommorow.

Sure, there are different degrees of waste, but a waste none the less.

Still stupid to pick up someone who would have been on the open market after the draft.

Will it really matter? No. It's more of a shot at VC. I'll get over it.

I find it hard to call a 6th or 7th rounder a waste. Those are the type of picks you can gamble with.

Horton hasn't turned out too bad eh? I think that cancels out any "waste" factor with Brooks.

The funny thing about Horton is that I could argue that Horton is playing as well as Brooks was supposed to.

Gamble on a position other then Punter.

I agree. We could've, most likely, got Brooks as an UDFA. Why not draft someone else in the 6th? As we know all to well with this team draft picks are at a minimum and we have to try to make the most out of every selection. Who knows we could've uncovered another gem like Horton with Brooks selection we'll never know.

This is where Vinny's holy draft board comes into play


But with all due respect to Vinny he did a pretty good job with Colt, Rhinehart, and Horton and I'm more then willing to give the 3 second rounders a little more time.
