So what, he can catch the ball?

Are you kidding me? Catching the snap and positioning it before a field goal kick is much more important than a short punt.

The Rams didn't get any pts directly off Brooks punt, and his hold from a bad snap helped up get points.

First of all, the 26-yard punt out of the endzone led to the Josh Brown field goal that put them up 16-7. So yes, the Rams DID get points thanks to Brooks' shitty punt.

Secondly Smooter, being able to catch the snap for field goals and extra points is Brooks' second responsibility. His first responsibility is to get his team out of trouble by punting the ball effectively. He hasn't done that consistenly all season. This was a classic field position game, and Durant Brooks failed us miserably.

Finding someone to hold for Suisham isn't as difficult as it is to punt the ball. Anyone can hold, not anyone can punt. That's like singing the praises of the lawyer who loses all his cases but does a good job filling up the water cooler every week.

Selective reading...lol.

I vote for change thread title to "Cut Leigh Torrence"

Wtf was he even DOING on the field during possibly the most clutch defensive moment!?!?!?

Shoot me.

But F you too Brooks. Not one single good punt today and he DEFINITELY directly contributed to our loss.

While I don't say cut Torrance, if he turns his head left instead of right we're not even having this discussion. Brooks was about 5th on the list of culpable Redskins today.

I honestly don't know where Landry was on that play. Normally, that zone is all him.

Thing is, we're spoiled into thinking good coverage is a right, but that one on one matchup definately favors the receiver. Torrence is a fine third corner who will get beat sometimes like he did there.

Our depth in the secondary isn't great. You have the four starters who make up one of the best secondaries in the NFL, and after that, you have Smoot, Torrence, and Doughty, and they are all weak links against starting-caliber wide receivers.

Did anyone see who Dallas brought in to punt now that McBriar is done for the year? It would be galling if Brooks landed there and FINALLY learned to be consistent. It wouldn't surprise me if he was on their short list since the best performance of his brief Redskins career was the game at Dallas.

We placed him on injured/waivers which means if he clears waivers(he might have already) then we can IR him. Effectively tying him up. But seriously no one is going to want this guy mid-season anyways. He'll certainly get a shot in training camp next year but no one is going bring him in now and expect him to be magically better at punting in the NFL. Hell dallas can have him. I'll take the risk that he ends up figuring it out since there's a far better chance he'll just stink for them like he did for us.

After 6 games the light is going to suddenly turn on for him? I doubt it. I think he'll get some looks next year in camp, but for this year he's probably going to be sitting home.

Brooks needs to go shoot up a strip club to get their attention.

Blaming the loss on a punter when there were 3 TOs seems somewhat silly to me.

Thank you. At least a cut Kendall thread would make more sense(I dont think we should, just joking!)

[SeasonTicketHolder]

Are you kidding me? His shitty punts all day set them up in our territory more than once.
