The Official Cut Durant Brooks Thread

[hooskins]

Dont get me wrong, I think it is a problem. Is it the main problem? IMO, I don't think so.

Bigger issues:
-the offense not getting off the ball(score efficiently and early), and being consistent for ALL FOUR quarters.
-Finding out who we are(identity)
-Zorn's ability to lead this team after losing to the worst team in the NFL

Without a doubt those are much bigger problems. I just think our punting problem is one we could fix tomorrow, or at least bring in competition, see if anyone better is out there.

I think what makes me the most frustrated is that I didn't actively notice a punting problem last year with Frost. He had his ups and downs but it was never this bad. He kind of got ran out of DC for no real reason if you ask me.

I agree about it being a quick fix and Frost getting ran out.

I don't mean to say you're a bad poster, I am bit frustrated with the negativity, and losing doesn't help. My apologies.

No apologies necessary I hate the negativity just as much as you do! I just figured it was about time to address the Brooks issue, mainly because I thought our team was great otherwise!

Our punt/kick coverage was awful all day- Dante Hall had some great returns.

Randle El doesn't look too hot on punt returns either. Suisham

Brooks has been miserable. To say "give him time" doesn't really fly with me. In the NFL you don't get time to develop as a punter. You either do it or you don't. And he isn't. At the very least we need to bring in a few other punters for workouts this week.
