O'Donnell was good - they needed someone steady who could hold and punt well enough - but this kid has a big leg. I think this is the year they ride out some of the young guys in hopes they'll develop. I wonder if Bisaccia gets Leavitt and Taylor in exchange for being asked to put up with a rookie punter.
Whalen hit two bombs on Saturday. Both into the wind. First was 58 yards but out kicked the coverage. The 2nd was 67 and landed on the 4 and skipped into the endzone for a touch back.
