That is one of the great mysteries of football. I can understand other positions taking a while to adjust to the faster speed of the NFL, but punter???? There is little to no difference in technique coming from college to the NFL, and assuming the blocking up front is sound, you can't blame the speed of the game. I think that it's more a mental block than anything when a young guy like Brooks struggles.
Ceratto should make a trip down under to look at Aussie rules guys. Sav Rocca is a field position weapon for Philly, and with the premium on accuracy in AR football, those guys should have great directional punting skills as well.
