Well im guessing that you are/or were a punter. The question isnt why waste a position on a punter, its why waste a draft pick on a punter?
No I just find it funny how all the arm chair quarterbacks we have can make this conclusion from their lazy boy as they lay back watching football while drinking their beer and eating their snacks. :)
I am sure being a consistent punter is not nearly as easy as all of us experts think it is. That is all I am pointing out.

Keep the kid! No props for the punt that landed inside the 5?
What the hell are we doing punting anyway? Geez, its not like our coverage would stop anybody half the time anyway.
Plus, I like the drama.

Great, he landed one inside the 5. He's still got the worst net avg and distance, etc in the league. He's finished.

If I'm correct the one inside the 5 was not a very good kick but had a very good bounce. There is no way to really judge the coverage when he is not even giving them a fair chance to get the coverage going down field.

but you have try and not hit a 26 yard punt every third time.

I absolutely hated wasting a 6th round pick on Brooks, I thought he was outperformed by Frost in preseason and he shouldn't have even made the final 53. I am glad that Cerrato is realizing what a horrible mistake this was and cutting ties now.
Agreed. Looks like he's officially been "released".
I think Frost got a bit of a bad rap here. I was fine with him as our punter. I feel like he got better as the year went on last year and was especially good in the Bears game. Hester ripped through every team last year and he did zero against us. Frost was a big reason for that.
Then we spend a 6th round pick on a new punter which I do think was a waste. Look what we got with Horton in the 7th round! Then from all accounts Frost outperforms in the preseason but we still cut him loose to save some face and back up Vinny's prized draft pick.
The whole thing was a mess. Glad it's over. Time to move on...
