Palardy: Week 13 AFC Special Teams Player of the Week

[mekadave]

Huh. I have to admit, I wasn't expecting that.

"Miami Dolphins punter Michael Palardy was recognized as AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. In the Miami Dolphins' 20-9 win over the New York Giants, Palardy had six punts, with three landing inside the 20-yard line, a long of 65 yards and an impressive average of 48.3 yards per punt."

Palardy has played well the last few weeks.

Cue the haters who don't know jack about STs to comment in 3,2,1... Seven punts in the last two games inside the 20, with 4 inside the 10. With our defense, this field position is huge.

One of the more dramatic turnarounds in a season I’ve seen. Went from absolutely embarrassing to one of the best in the league.

Some are obsessed with making a final verdict after 4 games. Cue Phillips

Fair play to him, rightly or wrongly he has taken some flak this year, but this is the perfect way to respond. Hopefully the first of many

A little different though. Anyone who dismissed Phillips early doesn’t know what they were watching. His talent immediately jumped off the screen.

Parlady looked like he shouldn’t even be in the nfl for 2 straight months, playing the position that depends on outside factors far less than any other. There was no reason to believe he would make this miraculous turnaround, but I’m sure happy he did.

It's amazing how everything is starting to come together, especially if Lindsay comes back strong and the OL performs at a mediocre level. DVP is back and i'll bet Fuller can't wait to get on the field (but who knows with that guy). It might end up being the proverbial "Perfect Storm"

It's cool that Palardy is from Broward County (Margate?) and maybe we'll have another home grown kicker of sorts like Olindo (who's parents home was back to back with a friend's who would retrieve fb's occasionally that sailed over the fence.

In either case, judging early didn't work

Can’t argue with that I suppose

Good news, would love to know what has changed, is it improved technique, being more in the zone when punting, how can a punter go from poor to good in the same season?

There kinda was a reason. All the reports from camp were that he was punting elite all camp. The skills were there, he just had to get it together.

He's only 29. He just needed those 292 game punts for that lightbulb.

Funny how Tua playing well has made everyone else better. The Dolphins front office should have never pursued the Watson trade...it may have cost us this season.

That's what I call a "limp something or other" kind of agreement - LOL
