    How did Hodges do last season?

    He had a net average of 36.4 with 15 inside the 20 on 45 punts.

    He ranked 12th in the league.

    He isn't going to launch 60 yarders, but he is pretty good directionally so he can pin returners against one of the sidelines which simplifies coverage.

  • I bet Cribbs could handle it 😒

    He can punt it and run down and be the guy to make the tackle. Make him a long snapper to, whats the point of wasting a roster spot for a guy that does nothing but long snap...never understood that.

    Hey now. Our long snapper was a 2x pro bowler if I'm not mistaken! 😆

    I'll grant you your hate for McDonald- but you're way off base on Hodges. Reggie pales only in comparison to Zastudil- who happens to be one of the best in the business. Here's the stats from last season (more than 40 punts).

    Zastudil- rank 3rd, avg 44.7, net 39.1

    Hodges- rank 11th, avg 39.8, net 36.4

    So unless you know of another Ray Guy out there in the bushes, I'd say Hodges is certainly an above average replacement.

    Someone needs to watch the video I posted a few posts back. I don't need a punter that doesn't know what he is doing.

    On a random note, we had a punter in 2006, I don't recall his name, but does anyone remember? He always would punt the ball 12 yards. It was great. Needless to say he started 2 games tops.

    Pontbriand is one of the best at what he does and deserves his roster spot. Absolute accuracy on his long snaps. You remember the Buffalo ice bowl from a few years back when their long snapper shot one 10 feet over the punter's head for a safety?

    I think Hodges will do OK .With our good coverage abilities , and the fact we may have severely less 3 and outs I think we'll survive it . Dave Z was a great team player and will be missed .

    Yeah, I watched it- and you're going to rag him out on a totally busted play? Pontbriand made one of his few errors and blew the snap count on that one! The up blocking back didn't know the ball was coming either.

    He should have landed on the ball in the end zone, regardless.

    Either way, this is how I feel:

    I am not going to watch...i am sure it is a crummy punt...so what???

    They all make bad kicks or do something goofy.

    The fact is this guy is always called back in to action year after year with different teams for the last 5-6 years, so it is obvious he is the best replacement out there who can't quite land a regular job.

    It is what it is....his numbers aren't all that bad and he is our punter for the season.

    You should watch. It has nothing to do with a punt. The longsnapper snapped the ball at an angle which ricocheted off of Nick Sorenson and landed in our own end zone. Thats not Reggies fault.

    What is Reggies fault is that instead of diving on the ball and us only giving up a safety (he had at least 5 second where he could cleanly dive on the ball, no one was even close to him), he runs around the ball, waits for a KC player to dive on it for a TD, then lands on the pile, falls off the pile, and acts like he is injured (even though film shows there was no way in hell he could have been).

    Just watch. You will understand why I don't like this guy. Half ass efforts wont get us wins.

    This is an incredible amount of traffic here in a short period of time for a thread about a punter.

    You must all be Jim Tressel fans who says the punt in the most important play in football.

    I wonder if Tom Tupa can still play. He'd save that third-string QB roster spot..
