Game Balls, Game Goats & FU's.......vs Vikings Week 2

[Ike Kelly]

He had a great punt to the 1 yd line yes I saw it. But early in the 2nd QTR when the game was 14-3 Berry had two chances to flip the field....something you expect your punter to be able to do on occasion. He failed to do it twice....giving the Vikings great field position at their own 40 & 42yd line. Thank god our pass rush was able to get good push and force the Vikings offense into a punting situation.

Berry needs to be able to step up and make those plays. I'll give him credit for the one to the 1 yd line but he's gotta be able to flip the field on occasion and he couldn't do it.

Actually, he did do it twice. Another punt was fair catched at the 9 yard line.

FU's:
Whoever the hell is keeping James Harrison off the field.....**** YOU! Deebo needs to be in the mix! GET HIM GOING!!!

Is there a chance that they are keeping Deebo out to save him for later in the season?

Barry's first 3 punts were bad. All should have been distance punts, since we're punting from the 20-30 yard line. None of them had height, and the first one bounced and rolled 10yds in front of the PR. His second kick looked like a high school punt. It went 36 freaking yards. His third kick came off so low and short, I'm surprised our coverage team made the tackle. Something looked wrong with his leg strength.

As far as placement, he is money pinning teams, and a big stat that punters need to get more credit for: Not kicking touchbacks, which he excels at!
