Unleash Hell
Well-Known Member
Wants it to be a secret, but he openly told a caller yesterday to expect to see Scott punt this year.
If he wants it to be secret, he probably shouldn't be discussing it with a caller.
Personally, I'm not all that big of a fan of all the secrets and trickery.
Moronic idea. Why the hell would you risk injury?
I don't think it's moronic.
I think that is why they will have him give it a whirl, the hangtime. His kicks may be 10-15 yards shorter, but they most likely will not be returnable. So sacrifice those 10 yards (and a return) for a fair catch and setting up a future play, meh
Do RBs not take the brunt of the punishment among offensive skill players over a season? Why would you give the other team more shots at a star skill player than necessary?

I don't get it. Its football, EVERYTIME he lines up for a play he risks injury.
No one is better-protected by the refs than the punter.
Just how many "injuries" have punters suffered the past few seasons???
How about we just try and execute basic special teams first and foremost? JMO, but the last thing this team needs on special teams is trickery or gimmicks.

Maybe Scott is our best punter? Thats playing special teams first and foremost. I have seen Scott punt, they are good punts.
It's not bigger risk than Scott running the ball from his RB position.
...and Eric Goodman is money in practice as well. Guess I should just get used to ****ty kicking for the forseeable future.
I disagree. Punting makes a player a hell of a lot more exposed than running the ball from scrimmage. If he's in the punting motion, somebody can cheap shot his non-kicking leg. After the kick he can get blind sided.
Maybe it's something that could be useful once in a while, but I'm really not comfortable with the idea... :huh:
Oh please. You will never know until you see in games. I still think it's a great idea for the mental side. It's football, sometimes you find ways to get creative to win.
I'm not saying everytime either, I just see nothing wrong with trying it. Punters rarely get hurt!

Punters are rarely starting running backs. Opponents might have just a little more incentive to take a shot at DScott when he's in a vulnerable position than they do with DiLallo...
I don't think it's moronic.
Does Hawk get a Gold medal when DScott fakes the punt and breaks out of the punt rush and scores a TD to win the game against Texas?
Yeah - that's right
i tell you where i *might* use the play: say you are 3rd and 25 or something like that deep at your end of the field. i might put him back there and have him quick-kick it.
