[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 673116, member: 7261"] I'm all about hang time and no returns, but when that involves punting the ball less then 40 yards on your side of your own 40), that really doesn't equate to much value IMO. This seems to be the way Masthay punts. Or he gets his longest punts from 60 yards and in and they sail into or out of the endzone. I'm not at practices, but it sounds like neither punters are impressing coaches so far. But if you look at preseason stats, yeah I know....kind of meaningless....Mortell seems to have the better numbers thus far. Mortell: 5 punts 49.2 Ave. and a 48.8 Net Ave. Long: 61 Masthay: 6 punts 42.7 Ave. and a 26.7 Net Ave. Long: 51 It's worth noting that 4 out of 5 of Mortell's punts have been inside the 20. Masthay only 1 Hard to fault Masthay on the Net Ave. if that takes the block into account, since the block wasn't really his fault. But I'm confused on the stats if that was taken into account or not, since he has given up quite a few return yards on punts (49) and Mortell has only had 2 punts returned for 2 yards.
