They did, and 10 of 11 guys were correctly playing for the ball to be punted, only Ryan missed it. No one blocked for him, he broke a bunch of tackles, and barely got it. Slocum and MM were not happy, wondering how a bunch of rookies correctly understood the situation and their "veteran" punter did not.

I thought that more than anything else led to his release. They didn't feel they could trust him.

I saw a lot of irony in his fake during the NFCCG.
To summarize: he Rubley'd, and they let him go.

aside: he's a damn good runner
