Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pokerbrat2000" data-source="post: 722877" data-attributes="member: 7261">This was the problem the Packers had with Masthay.  Those few times they went 3 and out and needed a long kick, he wouldn't connect.  When they needed a directional kick or a high pop-up, he usually didn't deliver and even boomed a few out of the endzone (loss of 20 yards).  Schum doesn't have the huge leg either, but I think he was adequate for the Packers for the reasons you mentioned.  Now if Vogel can do what Schum can do and occasionally be called on to punt a 45 yarder (with hang time), I am fine with that.  While a guy who can average 5 extra yards a punt is nice, if he can't get hang time or direction, I don't want him punting for Green Bay.BTW, I keep close tabs on punting.  I still think its one of the most overlooked aspects of the game.  A good punter has the ability to either flip the field and/or pin another team back.  We have seen that happen against us in a number of games over the years.  Masthay sucked at doing it.  Schum was an improvement, I hope Vogel is a master.</blockquote>
