!

BOOO!!!

So long Frosty

First

first

WOW

hahahahahahaha!

F ing idiots

Why waste a pick on a punter?????? Bring him in as a free agent! IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they took a punter!! we need defence, you can get a punter off the street!

So I guess they don't expect much from the new offense

Not sure what to think of this one; how about Henderson, Barrett, or even Andre Woodson instead?

No need for a punter here!

oy

This is why they will never be anything better then an average team.

They have a bunch of loser clowns running this show.

This is ABOLSUTELY PATHETIC!!!

i just threw up in my mouth a little.

I guess we want to draft all the award winners from college football. Ray Guy Punter Award and John Mackey Tight End award winners both are Redskins now. (shrugs shoulders) go figure

Him and our 5'9" CB will do wonders in the Def trenches

its actually durant brooks

That OT from Clemson is a steal.

ESPN is reporting it is a Place Kicker, not a punter.

this is disgusting. what a terrible draft. we had the chance to have a great draft and we are blowing it, completely.

they took the best punter in the draft, who has one of the best career averages in history.... it's the 6th round people...
c'mon

?

At this point it seems like they gave a drunk monkey a stick, pointed at the draft board and said, "you pick my friend."
Round 6 and some glaring needs not yet met. Ugh.

WTF????

Good thing Vinny saw that run on punters and jumped out ahead of the rush. (sigh)

YOURE TELLING ME THE KICKER WOULDNT HAVE BEEN THERE 12 SPOTS LATER??????

AT LEAST TAKE ROBERTSON FIRST!!!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Great. We have all these holes on O-line and D-line, and we take a punter just so Frost can have some competition? I think we could have done better than that.

We have another pick coming up. Why not the best punter? Esp. since ours is awful.

Not bad, he's supposedly a really good punter won the ray guy award in 07. It is the 6th round I'm not too upset, If we took him in the 4th then yes I would be upset.

Look, maybe we needed a punter. And maybe it's not a sexy pick. But couldn't we have gotten him a little bit later???? What about the Dline????

Hate on the pick all you want, but this guy sounds like a huge improvement. From his NFL.com profile:

Brooks put on a sensational show during Senior Bowl practices that NFL coaches are still raving about. Brooks stepped into his first punt of the day during Tuesday's session and sent it sailing. As the ball continued to fly past the other sideline and then over the head of Tampa Bay head coach Jon Gruden, Gruden simply looked up at the ball and asked, "Is that serious?"

The fact is, punts like those are not only serious for Brooks, but they have become routine. "Durant is a great talent," 49ers head coach Mike Nolan said. "I don't think teams are going to be able to sit around and hope he falls to them."

After Tuesday's practice featured the length of Brooks' punts, Wednesday focused more on directional and pooch punting drills. With the NFL scouts already aware of his leg strength, Brooks proved he could consistently down the ball inside the 10-yard line. "Everyone knows that Durant can kick the ball a good ways, but what's underrated is how incredible his hang time is," one scout said. "When you're trying to punt the ball inside the 20 it's all about hang time, and Durant does it better than anybody."

He better be the next Reggie Roby!

TERRIBLE PICK! Are we gonna EVER draft a d-lineman?

Of course you guys will b ithc and complain....WOW what a surprise......

i look at it this way....the last 10 years our kicking game has SUCKED!!...So why not?

I would rather Sammy Baugh come down from the booth to punt.

They must have gotten bored with trading picks so this time they decided to PUNT one away!! eck!(

Scouts Inc. had the punter as a5th round pick. Not bad value in the 6th then. Frosty needed to go. You don't get QUALITY specialists as undrafted FA. Immediate impact in the 6th round. Good pick.

Frost blows. This guy could be good. Gimme a break

at least we didn't take him in the second round

They must be going for value. He's one of the top-rated punters -- picked to go in the 5th round.

Of course, now I'm the one who's reachin'. For excuses.

A kicker -- wow. The mind boggles.

Wow!!! That pick should put us over the edge!!!! I'm booking my SB trip right now!!!!

Only this FO of twiddle-de & dwiddle-dumb!!!!

Way to go, gents.

The other REAL NFL FOs are rolling on the floor!!!!

I LOVE this pick. He's the best college punter in years, and was not going to last past the Eagles at 184.

Anybody who has a problem with this pick is simply just complaining to be complaining.

He was projected a 5th rounder... Just look back at how many bad kicks Frosty had in the 4th Qtr!!!! Very Kelly Goodburn'esque if anyone recalls the Kelster. Padded stats in first 3 qtrs only to give the ball away at mid field. 6th rd, not bad.

From ESPN:
Brooks may not be the most versatile kicker in this year's draft and he could still become a little more consistent but no other punter possesses his blend of touch and power so he could get drafted as early as the fifth round.

This time, the Ray Guy Award voters got it right, as Brooks was the recipient of the 2007 award after finishing as a finalist in 2006. It was appropriate that he was named to the award, as many in the industry feel that he is the finest punter to play at the collegiate level since Ray Guy himself. Ironically, Guy has been a family friend and Brooks' mentor.

Along with kicker Travis Bell, Brooks gave the Yellow Jackets the best kicking tandem in the ountry. Boasting a 40.66-yard net average, the Tech punter ranked fourth in the nation with a 45.52-yard gross punting average in 2006, As a senior, he finished fifth nationally with a 45.06-yard average and a 40.58-yard net average.

This is an embarrassment. They're laughing about it on the NFL Network.

lol, some of you need a real hobby

Oh...Boo...Hooo...the sky is falling. Let this play out people.

Derrick "SHANK" Frost!!!!

we could have got him at 180.

DIDNT WE JUST RESIGN FROST TO A ONE YEAR DEAL???

How much everyone want to bet he does not make it to the fourth pre-season game?

You can develop Linebackers, corners, safetys, lineman during the season. They are on scout teams and special teams.

Punters and kickers either win the job or are gone.

The kid may have the talent, but you can't develop depth with this kind of pick

Good pick. We needed a good young punter. A very underrated position, and a starter. We got a starter in the 6th round. What is everyone so upset about?

can we get a long snapper next?

Actually, given the paucity of first downs, this pick makes a lot of sense. Our only hope to success is to play the field position game and hope that we can get a few field goals and stop them on D. So, good job Vinny C. You've correctly identified that we suck and that we'd better have a great punter to cover up some of our weaknesses. You deserve a cold one.

All I know is this rookie better be Ray Guy like....

Draft went downhill after they selected Devin Thomas. Could've picked up some good line men (offense & defense), a LB or 2, or a S. Pretty shocked they passed on Mike Jenkins. Would've let Springs move to FS and Landry back to SS.

Lenny & Squiggy (Vinny & Danny) muck up another draft. Where's Gibbs?

Every other complaint I've seen lodged by Skins fans as to this draft so far as least has some legitimacy. Any complaints about taking Brooks has ZERO legitimacy. This is a need pick, a solid pick, and a GOOD pick.

Yo losers, stop blogging like you know what you're talking about. The skins have had a hell of a draft. They are getting guys who can make an impact immediately. This punter is very very good. Better to draft him then to let him go as a FA.

Please stop blogging like you know what the skins are going to pick. We know what their needs are and I can assure you they do as well.

So you bloggers can beat it....go outside and do something.

Brooks was originally projected to be drafted in the 4th round, so he is a good value pick. No need to worry about those ugly Frost shanks anymore. Meet your new Pro Bowl punter.

Atleast he is a nasty punter.

Saw him against Maryland last year...he is nasty.

But that being said...we have filled very few of the needs of the team...

Maybe this is why we don't usually draft.

Richardson isn't a powerful drive blocker who dominates the point of attack despite his excellent size and his lack of aggressiveness cannot be overlooked. However, he has the frame, athletic ability and range to develop into a serviceable starter or valuable backup

That OT from Clemson is not much

the only thing i see dumb and funny is this blog....you guys complin about EVERY SINGLE MOVE the Skins make....and you guys act like cause they took a punter, which we need cause our kicking game has been s h it for years, that this pick has destroyed the team for years...give me a break.....I'm not sure whats worse....the whining complaining bi tching in this blog or the cocky people in here who think they are great GMs but the reality is they are at home on this blog even though there are 32 teams in the NFL who they should be working for as a scout or something...but your not...whats that say? LOL JERK OFFS

FANTASTIC PICK!!!!! Finally cya D. Frost. This guy changes the game and turns the field around. We're all gonna love him....

does this mean they're expecting the offense to go 3 and out a lot?????

@Redbee...I'll take that bet, bro. Brooks will be our punter for the next 10 years.

I'm don't think the complaints are as much the fact they took a punter as the fact that one of themost glaring needs for the PAST 2 YEARS hasnt been addressed at all yet.

Good sign: Frost just was inked by Brandon Lloyd's record label

The pattern keeps going - we're drafting guys who can help ASAP. Brooks will be our punter. Kelly, Thomas, Davis will be catching passes. Rinehart will see time as a backup. Tryon will play the nickel.

Clearly the FO wants to add guys who can play right now, rather than guys who may take some time to develop.

Redskin fans are officially idiots.

The best punter this yr and for quite some time. He had 5th round potential and we have a sh**y kicking game. We used a 6th rnd pick not a 4th or 5th...

You sure can tell these guys haven't been used to actually drafting people. Other than WR and maybe OL have we flled a need?

Jason said "You guys take it from there"

He knew we would be outraged!
Enough said, you are correct Jason!

For everyone whining about Frost, this is likely a big upgrade. He was projected in rounds 4 or 5 and, make no mistake, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRAFTED. Probably New England and everyone would have said GOOD SHOW!

Superb draft even though there are probably some guys I might have picked instead. Thomas, Kelly & Brooks start right away. Best draft in many many years for the Skins.

These people are only blogging like JLa - terribly.

Look, a good punter does wonders for your defence, becuase you keep the opposition pinned inside their own territory. This pick shows me Vinny is thinking about the non sexy aspects of the game. Maybe he should have waited, but if this guy is as good as they say he is then F it.

Ray who?

I would argue that punter is a position we have struggled with for the last. oh, 10 years

Anyone checked to see if Greg Blatch has shot himself yet?

Stop the whining. All I hear from you goons is D-Lineman, D-lineman. There aren't any left who will make the team. There hasn't been since the 4th round. This is the best punter to become available for several years. I've seen this guy live, he's that good.

Last night, Zorn commented on how yesterday's picks (2 WRs and 1 TE) would be good on special teams. Now a kicker or punter (whatever he or she is). All the other teams are loading up on D, and we're going special teams. Next pick, holder for kicker. Me so Zorny.

++++I'm don't think the complaints are as much the fact they took a punter as the fact that one of themost glaring needs for the PAST 2 YEARS hasnt been addressed at all yet.

Posted by: robrown22 | April 27, 2008 3:25 PM++++

Yeah but you can still get the BEST PUNTER in the draft in the sixth round.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNC1J_kLA34

to add to my post, you dont just draft Dline bc you need it, if they think their guy is going to be there later you take the guy who wont.

We finally have some good things going on with the draft and people can only b*tch and complain.

Frost has come a long way from his rookie year when he was consistenly punting 20 yarders. I think he could hve been solid this year....and I like the way he wants to tackle someone. They're giving Suisham a chance...why not give Frost a chance this year to come into his own?

Maybe he can kick off too, suisam sucks at kicking off.

@Redbee...I'll take that bet, bro. Brooks will be our punter for the next 10 years.

Posted by: Jay V | April 27, 2008 3:25 PM

I would love to lose that bet . . .

Yes we need a more talented and consistent punter but rumor has it you can get one off the street and save your draft picks for much needed LINEMAN and SAFETIES.

I like this pick.

Durant Brooks Draft Profile
DURANT BROOKS
Punter
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
#39
6:010-202-4.92
Macon, GA.
Tattnall Square High School

OVERVIEW:

The highest-rated punter entering 2007 did not disappoint, winning the prestigious Ray Guy award as the nation's best. Guy actually knows the Brooks family, and has worked with Durant over the years. Durant's gross average of 45.1 yards per punt was fifth best in the Football Bowl Subdivision, but his 33 inside the 20 (more than half of his 65 attempts) and 21 fair catches were considerably more than the other punters ranked ahead of him.

ANALYSIS:

Positives: Able to turn the ball over more often than any other punter in the draft. ... Adept at directional punting to his left or right. ... Can deaden the ball inside the 10-yard line with fair consistency. ... Holds for field goals and extra points, able to rein in poor snaps to get the ball down. ... Never had a punt blocked at Tech. Negatives: Could achieve more consistent hang-time. ... Can be a two-step punter, but adds an extra half step at times, lengthening his delivery. ... Not tall or owning a great build, he will not threaten to bring down a return man in the open field.

Hey, its a bit of shock but if it works out for em who is gonna stand up and say that it was a good pick. No one expected it but Frost will be out of league when they cut him.

Jason knew we'd be outraged? No, he was miffed b/c he never got the scoop. He also knows little about football. This was a need pick, plain and simple. Brooks, by far the class punted in the draft, would not have been available as an FA.

"I LOVE this pick. He's the best college punter in years, and was not going to last past the Eagles at 184.

Anybody who has a problem with this pick is simply just complaining to be complaining.

Posted by: Jay V | April 27, 2008 3:22 PM"

Um that's great except we have pick #182

yup...this seems about right

Frost has punted too many 10-20 yarders. They should have cut his azz years ago

WOW!!! I suppose if this guy can kick like that Im down...WOW JUST WOW...he was in the endzone...awesome!

Can you say overreaction?? Calm down people, we needed a punter badly, we took the best one in the draft in the 6th round. Whats the problem. Last year the first punter was taken the end of the 3rd, the year before in the 5th and the year before in the 4th. We got the first in the 6th....yet all you do is whine and cry. It will be a happy day when Frost is no longer a Redskin!

There's a real good long snapper still on the board.

Hey Punted Off The Street: Rumor is wrong.

The amount of people complaining about this pick embarrasses me as both a Skins fan and a football fan.

Brooks will win everybody over once he starts making regular Pro Bowl trips.

Hey, this dude is SECOND team All American. It means the first team guy is still available!!!!

If we learned anything from the Skins this year it is they dedicate entire rounds to the same position.

We still need depth at DE and LB. There are two guys out there that could help and make the team. I say take Dixon. He's a much better talent but obviously teams have been scared off by the racist trial and punishment he was subject to in Georgia (as an ex-GA resident, trust me, when black guys have sex with white girls, it's a problem). You can read about him on ESPN. He's a good talent and he would be a great character guy. He's already been inside and is doing everything he can to succeed in life. Dixon. The only choice.

Guys, that's why they traded down, they obviously wanted the Punter and knew taking him in the 5th round was a reach. So they traded down, still got the guy they wanted, and now they can get another guy too.

What are they smoking? A punter? With needs on Defense they pick a punter? Danny and Vinny - a pair of peas in a pod a dumb pod that is!

Thank god, some legit competition for Frosty. Frost has been far, far too inconsistent. We need to start winning those battles. Hopefully this kid can be the one to give us an edge at that position.

Don't forget about Undrafted FA's and June 1 cuts. They are also great for depth.

Name one absolute STUD DE that the Skins could have picked right away that would have made an instant impact.

and he's humble too.....awesome.

I dunno about you guys but Danny Bo and Vinny have actually made me feel dirty during this draft. Nevermind the fact that we have huge holes on the O and D line lets draft three people we kinda sorta need but lets put the cherry on top with a place kicker that more then likely we could have picked up in Free Agency.

Zorn in case you there is the slimest chance in Hell you are actually reading this. Please stop letting them make decisions. Unless ARE or Moss have instantly gained 200 pounds and can now be a linemen for the love of god draft on the line.

The skins haven't had a consistently good punter since Mike Bragg. If this guy really is superior, he's worth a sixth round pick.

Sadly, this might be their best pick of the draft.

HOLY CRAP!!! GO WACTH THIS GUYS>>>>>If we get pinned inside our own 20 ....we are IN BUSINESS WITH THSI GUY....people can hate it all they want...but this punter is an impact...NOW! And we needed it...GO WATCH!

If anybody thinks these guys know what they are doing, then I say good luck to you and the team in 2008.9 picks to start and look at what they've done. NOTHING!!!!! No wonder they avoided the draft in prior years. Vinnie the Ninnie is about to wreck his second NFL team. I recall when they wasted a number one on a place kicker in the '60's. How long was he with the team? Please, I don't want to hear about Ray Guy, the Raiders had so much talent then, they could afford to waste a pick on a kicker.

Overview

This time, the Ray Guy Award voters got it right, as Brooks was the recipient of the 2007 award after finishing as a finalist in 2006. It was appropriate that he was named to the award, as many in the industry feel that he is the finest punter to play at the collegiate level since Ray Guy himself. Ironically, Guy has been a family friend and Brooks' mentor.

http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/durant-brooks?id=1683

I know we needed a punter... and yes this is a good pick... it's just SOOOO unglamorous that I think we're all in shock. I think in two years, when this class is examined as a whole, we'll all be happy.

4 picks left, better be o-line depth and a lot of defense!!!!

Does anyone remember that our defense was pretty damn good last year and we would have won several more games if the anemic offense could have produced just a little more? There will be some depth added after June 1st @ D-line,CB and LB. We'll draft a Safety, Barret from ASU or the kid from App State soon.

you could take a position player with a 5-10% chance of starting for you, or a specialist with a 90% chance of starting for you.

i'm not sure it was the right move, but it's not as ridiculous as everyone seems to be saying

Yes, we need a punter. Yes, he was the best punter in the draft.

We still need a S, LB, and line help. Hopefully, they find 3 or 4 Montgomery/Golston/Heyer's for the line help.

Geno Hayes is gone...

i like this pick. that youtube clip is sick. the difference between going for D-line is this guy can probably win the job and a 6th round d-lineman is probably going to get cut. unless you can get a guy better than the young linemen we have then it's a waste. we could have gone d-line early and it would have been ok, but at this point the punter is probably a much surer thing.

i would like to see a few more guard/center types who are also more likely to succeed as late round prospects than d-line.

This punter can not only put it inside the 20, he also has volunteered to protect the residents living near Nationals Park on off-game nights.

Just curious, how many people on this blog, have previous experience with an NFL Team in the scouting dept, or have worked for an independent scouting service??

This guy punted 80 yards from the end zone in a game. When is the last time frost bailed us out of a tight spot like that.....Wait for it.........NEVER. Face it Frost sucks and we got the best punter in the draft, I like it. Those who dont reconize the inportance of a good punter dont understand the game.

It's embarassing to read some of these comments. Seriously, people, put your thinking caps on.

What this team really needs on the DL is an impact edge rusher, and you're not going to find one in the low rounds.

Still plenty of time to pick some backups at DL, OL, LB, and S. Tons of guys to pick from.

While I agree we need to get some depth, they don't need a starter at any of these positions. They needed some WRs for the four WR sets (only have Moss and ARE). They needed a TE to complement Cooley in the two TE sets. They need a punter to replace "Can I have a Frosty with that shank."

Let's not overreact too much...

thought we had 5 picks left...

2 in 6th and 3 in 7th

It's ridiculous how outraged everyone is. This guy is a freakishly good punter. Do you not remember how bad Frost was last year and how frequently he cost us field position. This is a 6th round pick!! Most of these guys won't pan out. This guy could solve so many problems.

Barrett would be a great pickup. Question is why did he slide this far?

You must watch the youtube video, he is awesome!!!!!

huge upgrade over frost!!!!!!

There went Lynch my gut from App State to the Bangles.

This guy is not even a cold weather kicker. I would feel a lot more comfy if this kid came from a colder climate. He might be accurate as heck in the heat but what is gonna happen when the temperature drops?

watch the you-tube clip. 76 yards out of the end zone. thanks for that post. Idiot who said: are we expecting lots of 3 and outs? 3 and out, 12 and out, pinned in the end-zone. If you can get 45 yards everytime you need it, you have a chance to win. It's about percentages and field position. All the wrist-slashers need to quit their arm-chair jobs as GMs.

Well...........the fans in Detroit with Matt Millen cannot complain anymore.

We are now the bottom of the barrel.

For all of you guys that are ridiculing all of us who believe this is really dumb move and call all of us stupid.....I guess the analysts on The NFL Network are also "stupid"........ROTFLMAO!!!

When the Skins made their pick....they all starting "LAUGHING"......!!!!

thought we had 5 picks left...

2 in 6th and 3 in 7th

Posted by: | April 27, 2008 3:38 PM

Just 2 in the 7th now, after the Rams trade.

the Youtube spot is good, but I remember watching that game... He had a strong wind at his back and it helped. That being said, I still think he's good. He'll be our punter next year.

I saw that thing on you tube. Hes a monster punter. If there is such a thing! Its hard to imagine that he was on the draft as the best player at that time. This is the craziest draft ever!!

Okay, we have 2 of the next 8 picks or so and all the guys we were looking at appear to still be there; in retrospect I like the pick because after researching this guy I think he'd have been gone, and we'll still probably get the other guys we would have taken with our next 2 picks

New Orleans just drafted a kicker...are they idiots as well?

If I were the Skins I may consider a trade for a young stud pass rusher.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNC1J_kLA34&NR=1

Um, best long snapper available?

ACC product. Not the one I wanted though.

I liked the Safety from App State.

and we all hold our breath . . .

Barrett is dropping because he doesn't project to be as good of an NFL player as his combine measurables would suggest.

That said, I think he's worth a flyer this low. You can't teach speed, and this guy has it. Pick him, let him learn the D, tons of upside.

Robertson's still available at DE, same with Dixon, plenty of LB talent, Barrett at S, and OL depth. Let's see what happens.

CAN WE TAKE ROBERTSON NOW????

Greg:

Are you trying to compare the Saints with the elite teams in the NFL......????

The NFL network IS a joke. Maybe they were laughing at their broadcasting careers...

Good pick

S KAREEM MOORE

Damn, New Orleans wrecked our perfect all special team six, six, six, sixth

I guess not. I guess we just don't want D line.

There's our safety.

They got their boy!!! Mike Hart a 7th Rd'er..... crazy... somebody will take a chance on that kid.

Good Pick right Here!!!

Kareem Moore, Nicholls State

With Barrett still on the board, I'm surprised, but then again I'm no NFL scout and neither are the rest of you

If Mooch and Billick knew how pick and manage talent, they wouldn't be working on tv, would they?

He called himself - "the best in the crop," of punters, and, didn't think it unusual to be taken with the second pick in the sixth round. "I think the Redskins made an awesome choice," he said. Wow. Fair to say Frosty has some competition now.

JLC

Looks like the skins are drafting players with that athletic arrogance.

.I guess the analysts on The NFL Network are also "stupid"........ROTFLMAO!!!

When the Skins made their pick....they all starting "LAUGHING"......!!!!

Posted by: ShyW | April 27, 2008 3:39 PM

The "analysts" on the NFL Network are the WORST in the business...irrespective of what anybody thinks about this pick. The fact that they laughed about it instantly makes me feel better about this pick.

C'mon at this point, pick the army safety just to keep him out of Iraq

I don't have a problem with the round in which he was picked, just the priority. The next pick needs to be a D lineman. Overall I am hopeful about the direction of this draft. Vinny is addressing areas of need, (yes - we needed big receivers) and this year he's actually using the draft instead of free agency. We have a lot of picks left - I'm pretty sure we'll get a defensive lineman before the end of the draft. Hang in there folks. Feel free to keep bashing though - this is some funny sh*@ to read!

Looks like we could get Dixon at 186

Nobody is questioning his talent, what we're questioning is the fact that a few of these players we've picked would've been available as free agents.

Posted by: DOrr | April 27, 2008 3:46 PM

Not even a remotely accurate statement.

beep beep beep beep

Reggie Roby was the 167th pick (6th round) in 1983.
Durant Brooks was the 168th pick (6th round) in 2008.

Yes, yes ya'll!

Punter is a position of need.

This guy will get LOTS of practice in real game situations in 2008.

Frost wasn't cut cuz he went to bible study at Gibbs' house every saturday night. Players staying on the team now will have to earn their keep.

Perhaps Zorn can find creative ways to employ the two newbie wide outs out of the fake punt formation on fourth and long.

Wow, just wow...

I guess this is not bad considering dallas and philly are loading up on punt return talent.

I challenge anyone to present a credible defense for the Skins having made these draft selections.

Note: An offense does NOT learn run the ball effectively by "spreading the field" with four wide receivers.

Colt Brennan.

I am glad they are not improving their line. I want my Giants to keep running on the Skins.

Well okay Colt is a good pick at that point.

I challenge anyone to present a credible defense for the Skins having made these draft selections.

Note: Wide receivers typically do NOT create much havoc in the backfield of the opposing offense.

Colt Brennan weighs all of 165 pounds, wet.

Wow, just wow...

Frost was the league's worst punter last year. I have no problem with this pick.

Something is amiss in the mind of Vinny Cerrato.

Something screwy is going on upstairs with Dan Snyder.

Do we feel empathy for Jim Zorn at this point?

Yes, Joe the Fan, just yes...

Thank GOD we now have an unproven punter on the roster.

What a relief!

I think we need to put the call into Parcells about the availability of his defensive end.

Holy moly!

This will actually help our defense believe it or not. May be our punter for years to come and 2 get a future pro bowler in the 6th aint bad

Espn is calling it a fantastic pick.
JLC is an idiot.
I really hope he gets fired.

Can this punter block or pressure the QB for us? If so, great pick!

Look, Give Vinney some credit! He realized by the sixth round that this draft class was going to be horrible and we were going to be doing a lot of punting in 2008, so he went out and got the best punter in the draft to give the defence a little help! At least that's what I'm going to keep telling my self as I cut a worthless check for my 2008 season tickets

Based on the direction this team moves in the draft, we may need a couple more punters. They will probably wear one out about every week.

I'm a GT alum. All of us down here are wondering if we are ever going to see a guy half as good as Durant Brooks. Relax everyone. You now have one of the top five punters in the league (not an exaggeration).

This year the guy bombed one 77 yards IN THE AIR. Not one GT fan was remotely shocked.

None of us realized how important a punter could be until this kid. He's insane.
