Hats Off to Barker . . .

I thouth Bryan Barker had a great game today. Both short punts landed inside the 20 yard line. His long punts had great hang time and allowed our coverage team plenty of time to get down the field.

His last short punt almost cost us the game

I saw two shanks today. Not happy.

I must be watching a different punter. The one I see SUCKS!!

Are we just waiting until we LOSE a game due to a shank before this is a problem? Nearly happened today.

I'd like to start a mutiny and get his nose broken again.

The CBS crew were gushing about how great he looked in practice this past week....I wish for once he'd bring it to Sundays when it counts.

There are two college punters that were AA last year that are still unsigned. I'm forgetting their names right now but they played at OSU and UM.

Thoughts that last punt was gonna kill me....

Bring in Brooks Banard or Andy Groom. NOW DAMMIT!!

Thanks to some incredible talent on this team, we are overcoming the worst punter in the league and a penalty binge that has me grinding the enamel off my teeth.

I've noticed that he is once again wearing his facemask down around his chin...so another face mauling could occur...

Thanks jporterweb for the names.

I couldn't agree more, bring those two guys in!

We're 3-1. He's had one bad punt as far as I'm concerned, but we still won. You can blame his low gross average on the fact that we're punting from our opponent's side of the field (almost half our punts!), and Barker is doing his job keeping them inside the 20.
