Mitch Wishnowsky - Punter (Utah) is a 49er

Seems like we could have so much better.

Kicking it through the back of the end zone is less common than most think but you would be totally correct about better out there and Wish would likely put his hand up and agree IMO ATM.

Mitch's average is fair, about the same as Andy Lee for his career. But I thought we were going to be seeing all of these fancy punts, great coffin corner punts etc...

This. I'm ready to move on

those only come with 3rd round picks not 4th.

ahhaha. who was drafted in the 4th round that year that is contributing at another team at the moment.

Is either injured or not fully invested in the game.

Last week he was atrocious and in saying that, I am an Australian so I guess that says something about his state of play lately for me to be feeling that way.

Am thinking he has a leg strain, or he has just checked out.

He would be getting paid a fair bit of coin I am guessing, has a beautiful wife and a new addition to the family, maybe he has achieved everything he wants to in life and just doesn't want to be there.

Either way, he needs to improve big time.

We need to draft Araiza of San Diego State..

Good honest take! He needs to be called out and moved on from.

Poor logic. You could justify taking a punter even higher with this perspective. Ever think of using the pick in a trade instead?

4th rd pick and can't even sniff the pro bowl. Leg too weak for kickoffs. Multiple years now. Guys definitely not improving, especially given how old he already is. Falling well short of draft status. Now cue the apologists and blind nationalists…

With all of the legitimate questions swirling around the team you've got a bug up your ass over the punter. Whatever. What this forum needs are more threads like the K'wan Williams' one. The guy was one of the first free agents signed when Shanahan got here and his thread is still less than 100 pages long I think. . He just goes out and does his job so people don't have much reason to complain about him.

The defense doesn't seem to be the main issue of the losses as much as the special teams phase of the game has been, especially recently. It would seem that all facets of this phase of the game are underperforming and the 4th round pick just makes many find a reason to highlight any shortcomings of the punter.

NFL Redzone openly ignores punting unless something special/bad happens. Williams gets his chance in the highlight reel for the right reasons and punters are not considered real players deserving of any attention except when they are ex aussie rules or rugby players and considered interesting novelties. K'waun is just another very good quiet achiever from an all too common story that is sadly lost in the noise.

Mitch is a top bloke and a good punter. Find something else to sook about coz it's getting old.

Top bloke? No one's forcing you to come this thread bro. Feel free to move on.
Get used to the criticism until he performs like a 4th rd punter.

People are still mad this guy was "over drafted" lol. We have way bigger problems than a punter.

I would love a big legged kicker tho. If there's a kid like that in the draft go for it. You're set 15+ years.
