It the warmest, huuugest closet in the facility!!

Clearly we have a need for improvement here when I thought at the beginning of the year we were in good shape. I guess I was looking at the wrong closet.

I'd really like a transfer kicker. One who can successfully make their kicks.

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

Yes, and it has a very high ceiling.

 

[GoldenRodents]

they call him Boomer.

 

[MNVCGUY]

At this point we need to take any special teams help we can get. If he can just average over 40 yards per punt it will be a massive improvement. Hopefully it works out for all involved.

There's also a high school kicker from Illinois who might be a good PWO recruit.

 

[GopherJack]

Based on that picture and his flextivity, he can fit in a broom closet

Pair and a spare punters?

For the Gophers or Vikings?

 

[GopherPD]

ULM (Louisiana Monroe) spent the entire season in ESPN's bottom ten so I am guessing he had plenty of opportunities to work on his punting.

 

[tikited]

For the Gophers or Vikings?

Both.

"The true freshman punter in 2020 finished second in the Sun Belt in yards per punt at 44.6 yards, including six punts of 50+ yards. Reminder that Minnesota last season averaged 36.2 yards per punt and had zero punts over 50 yards."

 

[btowngopher]

Awesome to get him with several years to play and as a PWO.

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

I wonder if I can donate a nice potted plant for the Punting Closet?

 

[Piscator]

I watched his highlight video. Who we do NOT want is ULM's long snapper.

 

[Flecknation]

Is it at least warm in the closet?

Warm with Chili

Kicker is a big problem going into next year unless injuries were what led to the issues. I saw that the Alabama kicker was 90 for 90 this year. 77 on extra points and 13 for 13 on field goals. Long of 52 and 4 over 40. Only a sophomore. Interesting to see if he makes the NFL.

Alabama with good kicking is a bit of a surprise.

They've always had weird wishy washy type kickers IIRC.

Must have found one bag man that likes kickers and now they're set.

Bring special teams from a D- to a B+ and it might bring an additional win or two in a 12 game season.

Warm with Chili

How hot is this Chili supposed to be in a closet? Beer on the side should you have issues?

 

[Urbandale]

I won't believe any news until I see confirmation from Sir Yacht.

Depends on the temp of the field, It's the leftovers from the chili heating Coyles before it's reheated up and sent back out to the field

Not too much left over if I'm there.

That chili is one of my favorte things to get when it gets cold.

Fleck has been waiting patiently for years to unleash his "HOWTwoPunt" formation: two punters on the field at the same time!!! The return team won't know what the hell to do.
