"This is the year they punt themselves into the spotlight. I will do everything I can to make sure the Jaguars and punting will soon be seen as one and the same."

KDawg Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 you can't make stuff like this up. Well, wait, I guess you can. Well done, onion. Might want to add: "TheOnion: Jaguars Punter Aims to Make Jaguars and Punting Synonymous" to the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'd love to add "the onion", but it's just too funny when people don't read the link before commenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskindan07 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I hope he will be ready to go this season because he will probably be the most used punter in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I suppose when you are rolling with Blaine Gabbert as your QB having a top notch punter is pretty important Actually I think its a bit early to close the book on Gabbert - but he is going to have to step up in a big way this year and show a lot more presence in the pocket.

I liked this quote: "You look at how a lot of teams these days are built around a high-powered passing game, and you look at [Jaguars quarterback Blaine] Gabbert, and you realize how important it is for us to have a great punter in our arsenal," Mularkey said.

He'll have to beat out Henne. I would play Henne and sit him for a year, which is what he needed last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, Im glad the Anger feels that highly of himself. As a 3rd round pick, he probably is a defining moment in Jags history. Accordingly, he better do well or else he will get the boot.

MartinC Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 He'll have to beat out Henne. I would play Henne and sit him for a year, which is what he needed last year. Gabbert should have sat last year but after some experience and a full offseason he should be able to beat out Henne. If he can't - and I agree it's not certain he will - that would be a huge red flag to me. ---------- Post added May-4th-2012 at 01:34 PM ---------- "This is, without a doubt, the greatest moment of my life—and, I promise you, a defining moment in Jaguars history," Anger told reporters during a press conference after the decision Friday.

Mr. Sinister Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I bet this is exactly what Durant Durant (or whatever the hell that cats name was that Vincenzo drafted in '08) felt like. He was supposed to be "The Man With The Iron Leg. The power of a sledgehammer, the accuracy of a Spetsnaz. He Once Nailed A 90 Yard Punt...Against The Wind. He Lived Down The Street From Ray Guy..." Danny Smith's not his special teams coach, so I think he'll do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 "I look at all the teams that passed on me, and the only thought I have is 'Just you wait, guys. I'll be punting to all of you soon enough.'" hahahaha the onion never fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
