PaulOttCarruth Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 For what it's worth, former Packer and current Titan Craig Hentrich has a 42.9 yards per punt average in 13 seasons. Guy averaged 42.4 yards in 14 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soopanuts Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Feagles is pretty solid. He even traded his number (twice) for trips and outdoor kitchens. Savvy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Rick James Bitch Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Ray Guy has been described by his team mates as the best defender on the team because of his ability to put the ball inside the 5 yard line. He was a rare combo of power and accuracy. If the NFL ever puts a punter in the HOF, it should be Guy and I think they will some day.

Rockerbraves Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Of course he is. He kicked balls harder than Chcuk Norris and Jack Bauer. Best punter in the NFL may have been Ray Guy, however the most anticipated punter to enter the NFL was the Saints 1979 #1 draft pick Russell Erxleben punter/place kicker from Texas.

Randall Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 For what it's worth, former Packer and current Titan Craig Hentrich has a 42.9 yards per punt average in 13 seasons. Guy averaged 42.4 yards in 14 seasons. That may be but Guy still placed more balls inside the 5 than anyone I ever saw. His hangtime was phenomenal too. The real test is he won games. -NFL Postseason Record for Highest Punting Average in a game with 56.0 average. -"Hang-time" came into the NFL lexicon during his tenure. One of his punts hit the hanging scoreboard in the Louisiana Superdome. Another was tested for "helium!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeman Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Pretty sure he was the best. I wonder how many games they won mainly because of him? Of course if he was punting a lot, that wasn't a good game for the Raiders; but there are probably at least a few that he 'iced' for them late...

Rovers Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Punting is a very under appreciated part of the game, as field position is a very important part of winning and losing. It's also hard to judge punters from stats. Average gross doesn't tell the story without knowing what the hang time is. Low punts that outkick the coverage are dangerous plays. Net punting average is an indicator, but if a team has lousy ST's that number may not reflect how good or bad a punter may be. There isn't any stat to measure how good a directional punter a player might be. Inside the 20 stats don't tell the story very well either. Most NFL fans don't pay any attention to punting until their team has a lousy one. When they do, a new appreciation for a good one is sure to increase.... trust me on that one as a Jets fan. The Jets signed that Aussie punter, Ben Graham, and people do appreciate what he brings to the team. Great accuracy, very good both directionally and in distance. He has two different types of punts. The "torpedoe" (Aussie name for it) which is the spiral punt for distance, and the "drop punt", which tumbles, is difficult to catch, and tends to deaden when it bounces.... great for putting the ball inside the opponent's 10. Graham was voted a team captain in this, his second year in the NFL at 32 years old. As an ex-Australian football star, it helps that he is 6'4" and 220, and he has great hands and good speed. We're still waiting on him getting involved in "football plays".... he's chompin at the bit to lay some lumber on someone. In the Miami game, a Dolphin ST'er started to trash talk him after a bad punt. Graham threw an elbow that almost put the guy on the ground.... luckilly, he looked around first, and got away with it.

kwolf68 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Sammy Baugh was in my view. Talk about a lethal weapon...to have one of the best throwers in NFL history punting? You'd never be able to setup a return...he also kicked quite often in pisspoor conditions in an era when not many people followed the NFL. Give me Baugh any day of the week.
