Last time I remember drafting a punter it was Craig Heintrich in the 8th round in 1993. He was in the league until 2009. I think he made all-pro twice and after looking it up he kicked in 22 postseason games. He never made a single kick for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin L Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I know it's not as bad as at the old stadium, but the wind probably has something to do with it. I remember Folk and Weatherford talking about how tough it was to kick in the Meadowlands before the Super Bowl was played here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Edwards has actually been decent this year. He's just a bit inconsistent. He's 14th in the NFL in average. 10th in net. Tied for 2nd in Inside 20. 1 Touch back. 15th in average return yards(which isn't all him, but partly.) Those are big improvements over last year, where he was near the bottom 2 or 3 in the league most of those categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you hit the most important parts... 1) He's been decent and 2) he's improving!... He's a 2nd year guy who is much better this year than his rookie year... That's what you want! Growth, improvement, experience! He definitely doesn't "suck"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the same problem with all other areas too - if they are not a pro-bowler their first week, they are a steaming pile of garbage..... I was watching a game, maybe even last night's where the punter was fantastic and they said he was some team's 3rd round pick; clearly they let him move on, maybe because he sucked the first few years - that is the problem with QBs, punters, kickers - when they struggle you loose games; when you are a contender (or trying to be), you don't always have time to let them grow - this year, we don't have that problem - maybe Edwards fixes his inconsistency ...

jetscanes331 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Our punter also happens to lead the league in completion percentage and yards per attempt, if I'm not mistake. Some people are never happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
