I'm definitely shocked!
Gettig rid of the punter and holder at this point in time is a curious move.
Now we have a new long snapper, punter and holder in a very crucial part of the game.
And I valued Hodge more than Giaccomoni. Ted Thompson knows best.

Ryan had heart. That's not something you can train.

true, but on the other hand. lots of heart in a punter isn't as vital as the heart of a RB, LB, etc.... Punter is one step away from equipment manager. Yeah, having lots of heart is a good thing, but in a punter? c'mon.

I agree bozz. Not only does a punter not need heart, he also doesnt need any brains. He can be the dumbest guy out there. The only thing a punter needs is a leg that can boot the ball. Nothing else matters.

He's a punter who can punt in cold weather, but also keep a drive going with turning a fake punt into a first down. He's showed that on more than one occasion. The guy can run.

He can also hold well. That's a role that people never give any credit for because it's not sexy.

Plus, he was well liked. Everyone on the team liked Ryan.

The element that scares me.. holding.. it is a timing thing and it takes a while for that to click between the kicker and holder.. 5 days may be pushing that a little.

Naw. You hands of cheese would have precluded you from catching the ball 1st. Then there would have been the flag for having a foreign substance on the ball. You could have kicked a great cheese ball however. Moves a lot like a knuckleball in baseball.

I think one thing that hasnt been mentioned is that John Ryan was an EXCELLENT tackler, i think i remember there was quite a few times last year that someone almost broke a big run only to be stoped by ryan. Or maybe that was crosby.... Hell i think they were both above average for being kickers.

Ok it was crosby then, nevermind! Crosby was a decent part of our good coverage team last year. IIRC there werent any kickoff returns for tds? Or atleast not until the last couple games?
