Dave Zastudil or Reggie Hodges

When big Z is healthy who do we keep or what do we do? Hodges or Z? Both are excellent punters that give us field position. I wonder if that fake punt could be ran with Z. I don't believe we would keep both. Maybe trade one for position of need? I'll bet there's plenty of teams that need a punter that can consistantly drop the rock inside the 20. I personally like Z, but my only concern is his right knee (kicking leg) getting healthy.

I would have to lean toward hodges. Didn't zastudil have a back problem too?
-
Yeah, I agree Z is a big risk. Never healthy. If that wasn't the case I would want Z back. Hodges has proven himself and should get an extention. So, what can we hope to get for Z if it comes to that?
-
I am not big on kickers who have had serious knee problems.
Keep Hodges and let Z teach kids at Punt, Pass, and Kick contests.

this is a very interesting question. i was thinking of this the other day
hodges seems to do it more consistantly than zastudil did and he seems like hes fast enough to get away if something goes wrong(70 yard run against my saints)
while hodges seems to have better punts consistantly.....zastudil just punted more i think
id take hodges if i had a knife to my throat but you guys have 2 of the best punters in the league
-
I liked Zastudil, but Hodges seems to be covering well, and I loved the heads up play against the Saints, so I guess Hodges has my vote.
-
Go with the hot hand . That goes for QB too
-
Both.
What's wrong with two punters?
-
Hell, the way Hodges showed his moves on that run, maybe he should be kept as at least a backup WR, given our lot of underachievers at that position.

This question is a very easy one to answer. Didnt anyone realize Dave Zastudil is a free agent next year? You can beat your ass he wont be resigned. So he definitely won't be around, now as far as Hodges hes showed me in the last few years filling in for Zastudil that hes a very good punter and he took it up a notch on Sun vs the Saints. In fact if you look at his stats and hes been one of the best punters in the NFL this year. So yeah you've got to resign him. My only worry is he signs with a better team in the offseason.
We all remember the days of bad punters after Gardocki was done we went through a few that really sucked balls...

So you put cribbs in motion on the punt. As he comes around the snap goes to him and Hodges goes the other way. Cribbs hits him for a touchdown. Seems easy after last week

Got to go with Hodges. Having a great year, suprising speed on the fake punt at the Saints. No history of back or leg problems. How long would DZ be healthy until something goes down again. Try to add some depth somewhere in trading him.

Hodges is also 4 years younger than Zastudil.
Bottom line is that having to chose between 2 QUALITY players is a pleasant position to be in, right?
I'll trust our management on this one.

i dont know that punters are very valuable on the trade block......i cant see the browns getting anything back in return for a punter with injury problems
