Just saw that on FB. Wow.

No surprise here, I had Jacob Schum on my final 53.

That is a shocker.

It's amazing that he broke the record for average net punting distance last year, a record that stood for 52 years, and gets cut this year for a guy who is nothing more than a name on a sheet of paper to the team. I'm a little surprised they didn't hang on to Masthay and brig the other guy in, too.

Sheeesh! I hope he can do a decent job holding for Crosby. I hope they know something that doesn't show up in stats. The guy seems like a step down from either Masthay or Mortell.

I think that average was boosted by special teams coverage. Mastay had to have shanked at least 6 punts last year.

Obligatory post

Zook with his stupid giant PUNT signs seemed to get most issues fixed since he took over.

Huh, I guess no one wins the punting competition

[Rastak]

Was Masthay that bad last year?

Couldn't have been as bad as Vikings Locke.

[Guiness]

Well, didn't see that one coming. When Mortell was released, I figured Mathsay had sorted out his issues and was the punter for the season! Why this guy now?

[esoxx]

I'm sure Scoops McGinn will have the skinny on what's going down. Isn't the first time TT has rolled the dice on the position with the season right around the corner. Hoping for a better result this time around {see Ryan, Jon}.

For a few years there, I perceived Mastay as a premier punter in the league. I then perceived he fell back down to earth big time the past couple years. Was he really that bad? I am surprised by this move.

[smuggler]

He was a "plus" player there for a few years, but he's really struggled the last two seasons, even as the coverage units have improved. Sad to see him go, I enjoyed his goofy ass trick plays.
