Draftable Punters?

BrudLee · 02-26-2004, 01:21 PM

Could anyone who gives a flaming crap about college football tell me if there are any punter that are considered hot properties coming out this year? Clearly, this is a position where there will be change, and a late draftee or UFA may be our plan.

I like Cody Scates from Texas A&M -

But don't get me wrong - if we only have 2 draft picks, we ain't gonna waste one on a punter, I hope! Either FA or pick up one of them as an undrafted recruit.

There will be tons of undrafted punters. Theres no reason to draft one if we only hve 4 , wait make it three , oh no wait, 2 picks. OH well, I still want sean taylor, maybe we will give up a player we have now.

A punter would be a bigger waste of a pick than Hamdan was last year.

Tom Tupa (Tampa Bay) and Darren Bennett (San Diego) are both FAs. Both are experienced and both are a big step up from what the Skins had last year.

Neither should break the bank...

I've always been intrigued by Tupa, because of his QB experience. You've got to think that the possibility of a fake punt with him in the game affects the coverage by the other team. I know he's not a long term answer, but who really needs a long term answer at punter?

Washington Times is reporting that skins are bringing in Tupa, who visited the team's headquarters in the evening and also could sign before he leaves town.

The Skins currently have two punters on their roster, but I know nothing about either one really

At one time there were also talking about Chris Gardocki.

Jamaican'Skin · 03-05-2004, 11:15 AM

Yeah I heard about that too.

backrow · 03-05-2004, 11:17 AM

Ade Jimoh should learn how to punt!

That is the only way he stays on the team IMHO!

Sorry, Ade Fan!

CBS Sportsline has a hunch that we will trade the #5 to Houston for their first rounder and a 3rd and 4th this year.

sportscurmudgeon · 03-05-2004, 12:39 PM

I thought I heard on the radio this AM that punter,Sean Landetta, was a free agent.

He is the last active player from the USFL. I believe he was born in the year that scientists discovered ear wax.
