A stat to be proud of!

i thinks he's been playing well.

but
Brian mitchell has been ripping him apart in CSN postgame reports.
brian says that tupa doesnt get any hang time and all his kicks are in the middle of the field. mitchell said he could average 20yds per return on the skins because of tupa.

he is 6 worst in punt return yards. normally i blame the coverage team but like mitchell says, he gets no hang time. also, he only has 8 fair catches out of 90 punts!!!

chicago has almost identical stats, but look at number of fair catches and return yards average per punt.

chicago only allows 7 yrdper return while we allow 11. also chicago ahs 17 faircatches while tupa had 8.

tupa isnt getting the ball in the air. no hang time equels big returns.

we need a punter that can angle his kicks and get alot of hangtime so the coverage guys can get downfield.
