Dave Zastudil or Reggie Hodges

DawgTracker

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

I like zastudil a lot but i like hodges more, i was skeptical of him at first but he does a great job and can be used creatively if the opportunity arises..

I don't like kickers with knee problems either....that said,...I am sticking with this guy....

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.
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

Who is Dave Zastudil?

BTW, Pontbriand delivering the ball on the numbers allows Hodges to concentrate on making those playes.

Was watching the game in Vegas and my buddy made a funny comment after the fake. "The Browns have a black punter and a white running back" Usually it's the other way around.

Well, at least they won't be in trouble with the EOO as they are equal opportunity employers. (or is that the OEO?)

Isn't it the punters job to kick field goals if Dawson would get hurt in mid game? I say we keep the one that would be a better place kicker if our backs get to the wall.
