If you use the 4 downs the rules allow to gain 10 yards; you really don't need a punter!!

Poles is already ahead of the game!

The punt we had was average, that's all there is to it, and his demands might have been higher than who we got. Long snapper, Don't get it...

4 years of shouting MEGAPUNT and not one time did he kick one that wow'd me.
every time I saw him punt I'd yell "MEGAPUNT!"

apparently he held team records for punt distance. no shit.

Bob Parsons hit 81 yards in 1982. It's crazy Pat is #4 overall in punts.

The Chicago Bears made a couple of special teams moves signing punter Ryan Winslow and long snapper Beau Brinkley to the active roster, the team announced Wednesday.


This is a HUGE signing for the Bears.

Seasoned vet, 6'4" 260lb beefsnapper.

Has 33 career tackles meaning he is creaming kids downfield.

I have watched tape on him and his tight elbow snap leads to a crisp spiral and easy plant for the holder.

I am stoked for this!

Uhh you must be unfamiliar with the renewed focus on LS as a draft position that GMs will be executing in the upcoming years.
