NY Jets Punter

[Dolfan2788]

I come from Australia and have been keeping a close eye on Ben Graham who recently got the starting job for the Jets as a punter.

It could mean trouble for us as well because he can punt a ball the length of a field regularly, do a "helicopter kick" which makes it hard for punt returners to catch it. He was also the first person to hit the dome roof in Australia, not to mention the only one and was nearly fined 5,000 dollars for doing it in a practise session.

He is also like having another tackler on ST for the Jets because he is 6'5" and 230 pounds and can lay a hit.

Yes indeedy!

We are very pleased that he got the starting job. In the pre-season so far, he has caused three fumbled recoveries out of like 10 kicks. He does put a spin on the ball that is just crazy.

Punt returners are going to have a lot to get used to while playing the Jets this year.

That's all great and all but when I watched him punt in preseason, I wasn't that impressed. Plus he didn't have to handle a snap there or have 9 guys rushing him. Also the ball is a little different. I am sure he will do fine, but a punter is nothing to be scared of....EVER!! Reggie Roby was huge too but I doubt anyone feared him tackling them....maybe getting hit in the eye with his watch but not tackling

... but then they will realize that Herm Edwards is coaching the team and be OK. :rofl3:

Sorry, the best punter in the league still wears a Bills uni.

We will see how B "The Monk" B does this year when he is surrounded by no talent.

BTW, how well did BB do his first four years of being a HC?

Thought so.

We'll see how this fair-dingkum-bloke does in the snow

...once a jolly swag man, camped by a bilabong,
under the shade of a kooliba tree...
and he sang as he watched and he waited till his billy boiled
you'll go a waltzing Matilda with me....

Crikey mate..whats all this slippery cold white stuff?!?!

 

[Jim Hudson]

Every team had a problem with him and preseason, and hell, our own returner did in TC and practice.

How many rings does Herm have coaching, at any level?

How many does Belichick have total?

Thought so.

How many rings did BB have in his first 4 years? What was his record?

Thought so.

Compare apples to apples my friend.
