[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 90438, member: 196"] Unlike many positions, punters and kickers boots in practice often are a poor reflection on how they will perform under the lights. Early on many were handing Ryan the job when he was kicking the Hell out of the ball with no rush and no pressure. At the time I kept writing that I hoped he would win the job, but he needed to overcome a slow snap to boot rate (which resulted in him being blocked 5 times last season in Canada) and greatly improve his hang time. I have not seen him accomplish either. After Sat. miscue -- dropping a perfect snap in the endzone -- I think alarm bells finally went off for the Packer Nation. BJ Sanders may not have a big foot, but he has a far quicker release, better hang time, and so far more consistency. At this point he is the Packers punter. If they hope to upgrade over BJ, Ted Thompson better get to work on the phones or at least be watching the waiver wires, because as much as we all had hoped, Jon does not look to like the answer.
