| Should We Punt Groom? What have you guys thought of Andy Groom so far? I've been kind of disappointed in him so far actually. But I can't quite pinpoint what exactly it is that's bugging me about him. I don't think punter is a position we can really afford to overlook. Field position is huge, especially for us since I expect we'll be playing a lot of tight games. So is it worth it to go through the growing pains with him or should we maybe consider looking for a veteran?

| Re: Should We Punt Groom? We have lost the field position game in both contests this year. I don't think Groom has done a horrible job. In fact, I think he has done well given he is a rookie and certainly has not kicked a shankey yet.

| Re: Should We Punt Groom? Problem is what else is out there? He's young, but I think he's worth developing. |

| Re: Should We Punt Groom? he gets it high, as seen by most of our coverage, giving them enough time to get downfield hasn't been a big problem... a couple extra yards would be cool though.

| Re: Should We Punt Groom? You guys are probably right. I guess I just had really high expectations of him that I want to see more out of him. Sort of the same way I feel about Patten. All in due time I suppose

| Re: Should We Punt Groom? After his block on the run-back I think we can at least give him 4-5 more games. I don't think the Special Teams are playing lights out yet either. |

At one point I even thought we beat Dallarse in their house on a night they were inducting 3 HOF'ers....and we were 13 - 0 down with less than 4 minutes to go! I probably just need to lie down....... | |

| Re: Should We Punt Groom? I dont know what the kid has done wrong. We keep starting on our own 2, and thats just decent punting by the opposition. Then when we cant get anything going on offense, he has to punt from his own 20. I don't think he's been a liability... am I missing something? |
