It's your only job!" and another part of me says, "Go easy on the guy...it is more difficult than it looks and he will eventually be really good at it again. Besides he is really good at teeing it up for Crosby."

That second part of me sounds way too much like his mom.

I don't believe today was the nail in the coffin, but his prognosis is not good.

But Mom is right, it took Crosby an entire year to get himself straightened out and shake the influence of Slocum. Masthay has until mid-year before he hits the anniversary.

The thing that bothers me about masthay is that even his good points aren't good. Sf punter struggled today but he at least uncorked a few books. Masthay's "bombs" are like 45 yards

Crosby was fine the first half of 2012, fell apart the second half, just as Masthay did in 2014. In 2012, through the first 7 games Crosby missed three field goal attempts, from 51, 52 and 58 yards. From game 8 on, he struggled. The next year Crosby started by hitting his first 9, and went 33/37 over the season. Unlike Masthay, he didn't let his poor half-season one year carry over to the next season.

Hate to say it, but I think Masthay is broken. I really liked him as a punter in GB. Now, I shutter to think how he might perform when the weather turns bad.
