Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

He was booming kicks and we had a ton of In20s today. We wouldn't have won if the Packers had better starting field position.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

Excellent punts. The entire special teams was great today. We've found our returner. Awesome coverage down the field. This team makes me so bi-polar week-to-week.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

Yes, glad someone brought up this...excellent point.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

I still don't have any idea why we let him go in the offseason. He was great for us last year and he was great again today. Mad props to him because he came in and did a great job in his first game back, he didn't miss a beat.

Bidwell was probably Allen's guy and maaaaaaaaybe Shanny had a bit of ego clouding his vision.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

Yeah he had a good game kept us in the game allowed special teams to get down there way to go Hunter.

didn't he have some minor injury at the time?

If that is true then that would make a good point.

Alls I know is it is water under the bridge and I'm glad he's back.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

5 of 8 punts inside the 20. Nuff said

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

He's a steady holder too, don't overlook that

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

I still don't get why we didn't re-up him in the first place.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

Bidwell should bid goodbye to the Redskins, I was never impressed with him and was actually hurting the team.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

We better hold on to this guy and not let him go again.

First Redskin with 5 punts inside the 20 in a single game since 1976 (or something like that)

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

AND, he has such a great Punter name!
....Hunter the Punter........destiny
Hunter the fullback...WHAT????

The only thing I can think of was the price was too high and the team was worried about durability through out a whole season.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

With the field position he gave us, Hunter was worth several first downs.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

Wow is that right? I guess our O was giving him plenty of opportunities in the first half hahah..

And just to give a complete analysis, he did have some trouble with the hold on the skins first field goal, but he did manage to get it down for gano. Otherwise gets an A+

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

We're lucky he was available!

The Giants were looking at him last week because their Punter is a rookie and kind of sucks.
Not to mention Ryan Torain passing waivers...

We're winning,but we are also getting [B]VERY[/B] lucky this season,with the exception to the Texans game.

We could be 4-1 right now....
But were also 1 play in every game from being 0-5 as well

Dallas doesn't get called on Orakpo hold and they win
Rams win
Texans win
Avant catches the hail mary...
Crosby's doink goes inside the uprights...
0-5

Count your blessings Redskins fans!

Now...lets go beat them Colts
HTTR!!

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

This whole luck this is overrated. You still have to go out there and get the job done regardless of the circumstances.

Re: Hunter Smith deservs a lot of credit
 

The bottom line is that this year we are actually getting some breaks and in years past we didn't get those breaks. We have a team that typically keeps it close and gives us a chance to win. With the upgrade at QB we are able to capitalize on those opportunities.

From the Post article:

"Best Acquisition: Hunter Smith gets signed mid-week, comes in from off the street, punts 8 times for a 44.3-yard average, drops five punts inside the 20, and digs the ball out of the ground to help Graham Gano hit a field goal. I was never that into Josh Bidwell, anyhow. "
