Our Punting game is killing us!

[dreamblk]

Our punt game has been horrific. Maybe we should trade or bring someone else in. Michael Palardy has not been good to me seems he is another bad pickup by our GM.
It seems he always makes a shanked punt at the worst times. We barely have any decent punt returns on our end / less the fumbles and how many times have we been back up in our on end by an opponent's punt.

The importance of Field Position needs to be addressed!

You’re probably right… I mean it’s not like he hasn’t had enough opportunities LMAO

Lowest net punting average in league.

 

[Schleprock]

Why did we get rid of Hauck again?

Everybody at camp was raving about Palardy. How much of an upgrade he was over Haack and then the season starts and he's the worst punter in the league. Typical with the way this season has gone so far.

Yeah that's what has really killed this team. Punting!

Lol jk. But yeah this team stinks all around. Punting, punt returning, and kick returning also seem lackluster this year as well.

I wish there was a stat that tracked average punt position. Because usually in my anger of the inevitable punt to end our offensive drive, I forget to make a mental note of every punt we make.

How much of it is lack of punt quality, and how much of it is field position? If we are routinely punting from the 50 yard line, theoretically he could just naturally have a 10 yard lower punt average than a punter who is punting from his own 40.

Not saying this is the case, I genuinely don’t know.

As bad as he has been, Haack only has a net average which is 1 yard more than Palardy. The Bills are paying Haack $475,000 more this season than the Dolphins are paying Palardy.

Personally I think the Dolphins are better off saving the $475,000 and giving up that 1 extra yard.

No he’s been stinking it up.

 

[Mach2]

Yeaaahhh........ That's the problem...

 

[sickdawg]

Parlardy is terrible. There’s got to be a better option available somewhere

 

[MrChadRico]

I was just thinking the same thing... all were missing is a good punter. Lol

 

[YorkshirePhin]

Punting is our biggest concern

Cool story bro!

 

[BahamaFinFan78]

My thoughts exactly. All we lack is a good punter and we're Super Bowl bound

 

[Soca casual]

It’s obviously not the reason our offence is terrible, but the OP does make a good point in that giving the opposing team good field position is no beueno.
Another bad FO decision in bringing pallardy, to replace the equally bad haak.
