I always thought it was hang time + distance....huh

So if it stays in the air 5 seconds, but goes 25-30 yards that's ok?

I'll stick with complaining

...reminded me of this clip from south park:

Here's the issue:

-It's easier to take a punter with a big leg and COACH him to punt higher in shorter windows for pinning a team deep in its own territory. While possible through training, it's more difficult to take a guy who can kick high but not very long and try to get him to have distance.

Now technically it takes very similar leg strengths to kick high versus kicking far...so why can't JBK do it consistently? We've pinned teams deep, and we've let very little return yards, but we suck when it comes to flipping the field.

Punting is not all about how far it goes. Hang time is also important, and is what JBK is good at. Look at how many punt return yards we gave up --- 19 yards (16 came against WVU). What good is a 60 yard punt if it gets there so quickly they can return it for 30 yards??

Net return yards is what is important and JBK had a pretty good year by our standards.

Net return yards

2011 - 34.7 yards

2010 - 34.2 yards

2009 - 34.6 yards

2008 - 36.4 yards

2007 - 34.7 yards

2006 - 30.0 yards

2005 - 34.1 yards

huh, i didnt know jbk posted on here. clearly has to be him, because he'd be the only one dillusional enough to believe he wasn't complete garbage.

As a team (per ESPN), our net punting yards was an average of 32.3 yards. That was good enough to place us as 114 out of 120 teams.

Not good....period.
