I think Edwards stinks

It's not the yardage, it's the kicking to the 15-20 yard line instead of trying to get it inside the 10

he had 38 punts inside the 20 and a 3% Touchback %. Net average of 41.5 yds.  He is ranked 13th out punters with more than 50 punts.  And it was a down year for him I'm pretty sure. He's a good punter.  Getting rid of him seems foolish unless he wants to be paid the highest in the league or something.  

Ever hear the saying if it aint broke...?

I think the guy that is signed under a future contract did pretty good last preseason... if it's the same guy.  

 

I'd like to see Edwards come back but I can see why in general GM's do not want to pay $$$ to a punter when the team has many other needs. Hope he comes back on a cheap contract.. we already went through that FG fiasco last year and now a punter? eh..  poor special teams coach ?

Inside the 20 you say.  How many inside the 10? I can almost guarantee he's very close to last in that category.  Kicking the ball to the 19 is not a good punt so that statistic is utterly useless.

He was wildly inconsistent this past season. He made some really bad kicks in big moments. He's replaceable at a fraction of the cost

I don't think big moments and NYJ 2019 football season belong in the same sentence.

Yeah. I couldn’t find that particular stat. I’m sure it’s out there but this is what I got.
What’s wrong with punting inside the 20? That’s a long field. I’m sure there are some to the 19 like you say but that stat also includes the 11-18 TD lines. Those are good punts. The % that’s most important next to net average is the touchback %. It’s very low.

Also his average punt is 46 yds. That’s the best ever for a Jets punter. (I believe)
My whole point is that he’s good. Above average. It can be much much worse and I’m not so sure fooling around with the position is a wise choice.

His touchback percentage is low bc he doesn't ever try to land the ball inside the 10.
