Hadn't heard anything on here for a while. Friend at the scrimmage thought Bryan looked pretty good. Kinda pulling for him myself after watching a few videos. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I'm pulling for the Aussie as well.
He can do some crazy things with a football that I would like to see translate into an improved punting game if he can be consistant with distance and hang time.

No prizes as to guessing who I'm going for.

I'd love to see Bryan win it out, but only of course if he deserves it.

Neither is really pulling away. They're both getting about the same hangtime and distance. Both are somewhat inconsistent, as well.

I'm pulling for the lefty.

Two reasons I like the Aussie.

1. He may not have as strong a leg as Masthay, but his leg still looked better than what we have seen in years. But what I like more is he is a far better directional kicker.

2. I like that he is a lefty and the ball is spinning a different direction which will make it tougher for the returners to catch cleanly, I think that can't be understated.

I like the Aussie as well.

I bet it's Masthay that wins the job, though.

Not enough time in American football, the American is supposedly a better holder, and our organization sucks at picking the better of the two. semi-lol

I remember that lefty thing with B.J. Sander. He punted for the Packers for a full year, but I can't recall ever seeing a returner mishandling one of his kicks, and I was watching for it.

Like most people, I'm more intrigued by Bryan. Both have been okay in practice, but we won't know what we have until they punt in game situations, and sadly, we won't REALLY know until one of them has an entire regular season under his belt, cold weather and all. Typically the distance of the kicks gets shorter and shorter as the pressure increases.

I think this race for the punting job is seriously tied or extremely close to it.

Usually when coaches say two players are tied (like MM said with these 2 punters) I think BS, they're just trying to avoid answering the question for now. But in this case I think it's seriously turn.

Masthay has a slight edge in distances, hang time and holding but Bryan isn't bad at any of those and isn't far behind.

Bryan has a slight edge in the control and get off time but Masthay isn't bad at any of those and isn't far behind.


The only place I've seen a real edge of one over the other is kickoff where Masthay has shown he could take over kickoffs with out a problem if needed to. But that's the kickers job not the punters but still Masthay is showing his versatility which may give him the overall edge.


Bryan of course has the better story, but I'm not sure that will factor in other than fan support.

I'm rooting for Bryan being from Australia... it would be awesome to have an Aussie on the team.

I think Masthay will win out though.
