Who will win the punter battle?

MTK · 08-28-2008, 03:52 PM

Gotta say right now I'm leaning towards Frosty holding on to his job.

dmek25 · 08-28-2008, 03:59 PM

Brooks. i just don't think the skins trust Frost

EternalEnigma21 · 08-28-2008, 04:00 PM

frost has outplayed brooks, but if there has to be a threat of losing his job for him to perform to the standards they expect, he probably won't hold the job. I don't think they'll toss brooks aside quite yet.

Watching Frost punt is painful. I would rather go with an unproven punter with potential than an established veteran with a track-record of inconsistency. I hope Brooks seals the starting position tonight.

It makes more sense to choose Brooks. He's younger and he's going to be a VERY good punter, I mean for him ot even be competing with Frost yet shouldsay something. Frost has also had a few more chaces to kick than Brooks.

brooks, hed be cheaper, and younger. He will be a lifetime punter for whatever team can lock him up

CRedskinsRule · 08-28-2008, 04:32 PM

I voted for Brooks, I think they ought to go with Brooks, but since they haven't cut Frost yet I would think that someone on the staff is making the argument to keep him. Is anyone else tired of hearing about the punter holding the ball for Suisham, or is it really important enough of an issue to save Frost's job?

Something about him only punting well when there is competion, does not sit well with me.

doughtydoubter · 08-28-2008, 04:36 PM

i think its bs..lets worry about how our rookie wrs are adjusting or the play of the offensive line or how our qb is adapting...punter battle....makes me yawn.
I wills ay if we wasted that pick on a punter ill be pissed.

riggins44 · 08-28-2008, 04:36 PM

My guess is Brooks. To spend a draft pick on a punter tells me that it's his job to lose
tonight.

saden1 · 08-28-2008, 04:41 PM

Forst isn't getting paid top dollar and he has experience...if Books hasn't beaten him out by now he's a goner.

Frost always plays well in pre-season, then inconsistent in the regular season. Go with the Ray Guy Award winner.

freddyg12 · 08-28-2008, 04:46 PM

Gotta go w/brooks, though it's not a decision that should make or break us either way.

redsk1 · 08-28-2008, 04:51 PM

I think Brooks just b/c he'll be cheaper and they've got something invested. Of course, as long as they think he and Frost are pretty close.

Watch us cut Brooks and see him land in Dallas where he can torture us with 50 yard, 5 second hang time boomers for the next decade. Keeping Brooks is a no brainer to me. Frost hits one big punt out of the end zone during a pre-season game, and people are lobbying for him as if he's suddenly clutch. Take a look at this rocket Brooks hit out of his end zone, in a real game, at GA Tech last year:

YouTube - Durant Brooks 76 yard Punt

There probably aren't more than 5 punters in the entire NFL with the leg strength to do that.
