Masthay Released new punter claimed

[Fritz]

...or to stay by the phone in case they want him sometime in the next couple weeks. Schum could be there more on a tryout than anything else. Heck, after tomorrow night they might even bring Masthay back. I have a feeling they aren't done with the punting position yet.

A Derrick Frost sighting is surely in the works.

Crosby's head must be spinning.

Mike Sherman would never be caught napping, or hmmm, with his pants down like this. He'd have two punters on the roster at all times. In case a waiver struck unexpectedly.

The death of Dr Shankenstein.

To Wootah's point, does the new guy have red hair, too?

No, his hair is dark brown.

I'm ashamed of myself, but I decided to take a trip down Packer punter memory lane at packers.com. I see Masthay is tied with David Beverley and Don Bracken as longest serving. Perhaps that's why people are so weepy.

Nothing says Ron Wolf like Sean Landeta and Louie Aguiar.

I miss the Bryan Barker and Ryan Flinn golden era.

Why do I remember Ray Stachowicz and Bucky Scribner so well? We must have punted a lot back then.

David Beverly seemed like a skinny jeans kind of guy, I remember that. The kind of guy that would sit cross-legged on the floor at a party even when there were still chairs left.

HH, you are putting the cart before the horse, the kick before the snap, the hold before the catch of the snap. Schum needs to make it past the final cut down to be listed as the 2016 punter. I will be waiting with bated breath on Saturday...........

Review of the new punters first night: http://www.packersnews.com/story/spo...foot/89720242/

"I thought he did a lot of good things," McCarthy said. "Jacob, for being with us for two days, he punted well in practice yesterday and I thought he continued that again tonight. Most importantly, I think the ball placement outside the numbers was what we were looking for and I think he accomplished that."

So something we speculated about, that being asked to kick directionally, seems to be a factor they way Zook and McCarthy are having their punt team operate.

Something seems different about this new punter.

Barker, Bryan 2004
Flinn, Ryan 2005
Sander, B.J. 2005

Flinn was the punter the year Sander was on the roster? I remember it being Barker.

Ok, looked. Sander was on the roster for 2(!) years. Inactive the first year, Barker punted. Tried to use him the following year for 14 games until they brought in the bartender.
