Steve Weatherford: Stay or Go?

I honestly thought that the kid T.J Conley who we worked out at one point was going to solve our punting problems. Unfortunately it didn’t work out that way, it’s sometimes so hard to find these guys, I liked his ability to run the football, we used fake punts well early in the season, not so much towards the end, but those averages are really not good enough.

Weatherford did a decent job…but he doesn’t have a good leg…i say go too.

we ccan find a better punter in the 6-7 rounds or free agency

Maybe I’m behind the times, but I was actually surprised to see that 42.0 is ranked so low in the league. Would an extra 2 yards per punt actually make that much of a difference in game terms? As to net yardage, most of that doesn’t depend on the punter, but on the coverage unit. This year I don’t remember Weatherford shanking a single punt or making any glaring punting “mistakes” – he’s consistent around his 42 (no references to Douglas Adams intended). I would rather have Weatherford, where you know exactly what you’re getting, than someone who kicks a monster punt and then shanks the next one.
If the coaching staff isn’t satisfied with his performance, they should open up the competition, but not cut Weatherford unless someone clearly better emerges and is in place.

A yo, we need a strong leg punter somthing that Wetherford lacks he gave oppossing teams good field position at most ,thank’s to Big Rex Mean Green “D” Machine for stopping oppossing team’s if not, Wetherford would of been gone.
