[QUOTE="TJV, post: 620401, member: 4300"] IMO Mondio hit on an important point: Punting helps or hurts the team's D, not O. And the Packers D needs all the help it can get. Chris Kluwe, former NFL punter, wrote what I think is an interesting article for PFF. He says that the NFL keeps track of 1. Gross average; 2. Net average; 3. Punts inside the 20; 4. Touchbacks; and 5. Punts out of bounds. But those stats don’t tell the whole story when evaluating a punter (exclusive of his punt coverage team). He says these are the stats that matter when evaluating a punter: 1. Distance; 2. Hangtime; 3. Location the ball was caught/landed; and 4. Location he ball was kicked from. He talks more in-depth about this and includes a table of PFF’s top 10 punters for 2013. They list the Texan’s Lechler as the top punter even though he’s 7th in net yards among the top 10.
