Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Durant, I hope that you figure out how to perform well in games and that you end up having a successful career in the NFL. Coach Zorn has said that, in practice, you've shown a lot of improvement and a lot of potential. Good luck figuring out transferring that talent to game situations. * This is a serious thread. I feel badly for the kid, so please only post positive comments here. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything! I can't imagine he reads ES, but maybe someone would draw his attention to a thread offering him support. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btfoom Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I agree 100% with B&G Forever. It is not like he was a troublemaker or a 'Me First' type of player. He just couldn't figure out how to make the transition from very good college player to pro player. He isn't the first and won't be the last. Good Luck, Brooks, I hope you get it figured out as well. Talent like you certainly seem to have deserves to play in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I have this horrible feeling he'll end up in Dallas or somewhere else and be great. Good luck Durant, just not against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohioskinsfan Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Not only that, but I hope he gets healthy. I do believe the kid does have a lot of potential, good luck Brooks. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishisthegreatstuff Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I wish him the best. I really just don't understand how he could be this bad. Punting doesn't change from college to pro's. Maybe his injury really is the problem. Others say pressure, but there pressure in college also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoaster Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Not only that, but I hope he gets healthy. I do believe the kid does have a lot of potential, good luck Brooks.HTTR I bet he clears waivers, gets put on IR, comes back next year and we have a heck of a battle in training camp between Brooks and Plackemeier. I hope so at least. I still think he has a ton of talent. He showed it in spurts, just not consistently. The injury certainly contributed to that.

TSO Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hopefully he clears waivers... I think he just needs to stop worrying so much during games. He just needs to do what he knows he can do. We believe in you Durant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins8921 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I just got home from bowling, so we cut him? That sucks. I wish him luck too, met him at training camp and he was a really nice guy, hated hearing him get booed on Sunday... ****s, we're not Philly.

NewCliche21 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I was more excited about him than any other pick. What a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyKilmer Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I was hoping we would stash him on IR for the remainder of the season and bring him back next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aszumilo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Personally I think this is a mistake. Plackmeier was cut after a poor performance in the first game. I hope it doesn't come back to bite us, as it usually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoaster Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 hmm Dallas needs a punter... It will be a couple of weeks before he is 100% though and they need someone right now. I am guessing Josh Miller will end up in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Murray 29 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 hmm Dallas needs a punter... Sam Paulescu is your new punter 4:47 PM Tue, Oct 14, 2008 | Permalink | Yahoo! Buzz Pete Aldrich E-mail News tips From Todd Archer ... The Cowboys moved quickly in replacing punter Mat McBriar by signing Sam Paulescu Tuesday. McBriar was placed on injured reserve with a fractured right foot suffered on the blocked punt in Sunday's overtime loss to Arizona. McBriar will not need surgery, but he would need 6-8 weeks to recover. Paulescu, 24, worked out for the Cowboys on Tuesday as did Ben Graham, who was with the New York Jets earlier this season. Paulescu was with the Cowboys in training camp last year and punted in one game in 2007 for Denver, averaging 44.2 yards on five attempts. He was cut by the Broncos this summer after losing the battle with Brett Kern. He averaged 49.6 yards per punt in five preseason attempts for Denver. The move rejoins Paulescu with special teams coach Bruce Read. They were together at Oregon State where Paulescu became the first punter in the history of the school to earn All-Pac 10 honors. He averaged 42.7 yards per punt at Oregon State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSkins8921 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Skins should bring in my high school's punter from last year lol. I'm pretty sure he averaged over 50 his junior year. Last year though I forget what his average was but it was ****ty cause he got blocked like 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubanl81 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I do hope he clears waivers and we can IR. I think he could have a bright future. Not to cut him any slack but those first five games were a tough way to start your pro career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.gunslinger. Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 like so many other players we let go to soon, this will come back to bite us in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I wish him the best of luck. He's young and has a ton of potential. It's disappointing that the team isn't willing to go through some growing pains of a rookie punter. They are putting up with Devin Thomas, and his mistakes have had a greater impact. Such is the life of an nfl player. Good luck Durant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
