Punter: There can be only one! - The Orange Mane

Kaylore · 08-19-2008, 12:52 PM

Let's get a running poll on who we think wins the punt battle! With two more games to play, both made big plays in clutch situations.

Sam Paulescu: The veteran who tackled the vile Pac Man and had a faster release, though he doesn't hold as well. He's a bit more accurate.

Brett Kern: The noob that showed great awareness and athleticism when he picked up a blocked punt and ran it for a first down. He is the best holder, but his release is slower. His leg is stronger, but he's not as accurate.

TheReverend · 08-19-2008, 12:55 PM

I'll go with Duncan Macleod over Connor.

Needa Pass Rush · 08-19-2008, 12:57 PM

The vet has the better net.

ColoradoBuff · 08-19-2008, 12:57 PM

BroncoFanatic · 08-19-2008, 12:59 PM

I go with Kern, simply because he is the better FG holder, muy importante

haha isnt it a bit odd to call paulescu a veteran?

Brett Kern....you can never have too many Toledo Rockets on your roster.

2KBack · 08-19-2008, 02:01 PM

I always like it when a QB is the holder. Go with the Paulescu and have RAmsey practice holding

Thats what I was thinking, isn't this Paulescu's second year?

Crushaholic · 08-19-2008, 02:25 PM

Paulescu tackled Pac Man? He gets my vote just on hearing that little tidbit...

It would give Ramsey some value. If you have a good punter and kicker, you usually want the Punter holding. Back up QB's rarely stay on a team more than three years. Specialists stay longer.

Hamrob · 08-19-2008, 02:32 PM

I'm hoping for Kern. He's younger and has the big leg. The fact that he's a good holder is only a plus. I'd like to see Prater and Kern for the next decade!

However, I voted for Paulescu. Why? He was with us at that end of last year and has competed well in camp. He really hasn't done anything to lose the job and he's not all that much older than Kern. My gut says...that Shanny etc. keep Paulescu.

GoHAM · 08-19-2008, 02:39 PM

I voted for Paulescu, because his punt didn't get blocked. Shanahan is going to have a really difficult time forgetting that.

Of course I'm probably wrong.

Beantown Bronco · 08-19-2008, 02:44 PM

Let's flash back to the Nick Harris/Tom Rouen competition 5 or so years ago. The competition seemed neck and neck throughout camp and the preseason games. If anything, Harris might have had a slight edge in distance. The problem was, he also took longer to get his punts off. We all know what happened there....Shanny went with Rouen as a result. He could simply get the ball out faster.

If the same holds true here, Paulescu will most certainly get the nod.

Florida_Bronco · 08-19-2008, 02:52 PM

I voted for Kern because I can pronounce his last name.

I voted for Sam because he is more consistent even if he's not as talented. I wish Sam's first name was Paul, though. Paul Paulescu is what his name should be. I plan to inform his parents of my dissatisfaction if I ever meet them.

You say you want a QB holding, then you suggest Ramsey? Based on his performance, Ramsey surely is no QB

Perhaps, but I must back my own play as a member of Buff's infamous ARMY OF TWO.
