LOL...dude sprinted to that table. He was probably so eager to sign he didn't even use the feather pen!

Michael Irvin was subbing for Rich Eisen today. He told a story about his buds and him being out right before the draft (I missed the full story but I think it was breakfast after being out drinking) and realizing too late they had no money. The manager called the cops and the police wound up paying for it to keep his draft stock from falling.

I forgot the point. Irwin was trying to explain to the manager that they'd be able to pay soon because they were about to make oodles and oodles of money. Manager didn't buy it and called the cops.

My sources say he signed his contract in vegemite.

I would have been running to the table for that sort of money as well. Top dollar after you have been playing in college for dimes and tuition.

No fair dinkum Aussie would waste Vegemite like that. It is too delicious to waste.

Translation: punters are pretty useless in affecting the outcome of a game as long as they don't get kicks blocked on the regular.

I'd even argue having a great gunner is even more important than the punter themselves.

Perhaps a silly question but in my observation there are coaches in the league who seem to be quite arrogant and don't seem to be open to learning new things. Then there are the new breed of hungry, clever and willing to bring some of the college ball in to play. So my question is are the new breed of punters part of evolution where McVay and Shanny lead the way and Belichick, Carroll and co. adapt in a sport that needs a distraction from head injuries?

Someone went through the trouble to crunch some numbers and concluded that a 49er 4th rounder has a 83% bust rate. I look at that as a 17% hit rate that I wouldn't mind taking a flier on with a mid 4th rounder. The draft experts said that there was value in the mid rounds. I wouldn't know, but it's not like there is a lot of competition at backup OG/OT/FS. A gamble on a mid 4th round OL/DB might amount to something that's better than Magnusson, SColeman, Exum.

"Well which player would you have taken?". I don't know. My big board consisted of 2 prospects (Bosa, QW) so I never scouted the top 150. That's for Kyle to trust his scouts and take a BPA at a non-ST position. Then go ahead and settle for a middling punter in the 7th/UDFA.

I like the way you argue the realities of the football world. Would you call your valuable x and o thinking under threat of these young coaches throwing the baby out with the bath water?
Would Cruden do this?

I think it has more to do with the analytics movement. I'm guessing some stats guys see possible advantages that a punter can bring to the time of possession and field position games, which will increase the chances of winning. Some coaches are probably listening and trying to exploit it.

No, the only place that possibly happens is AT&T cowboy stadium. I think it only happened once a punter grazed the bottom of the gigantic video screen above midfield. The ball has to be kicked really super damn high to come close to that. We don't play the Cowgirls this year.
