Because I think Amendola can be a better punter and long field goal specialist. Mann is an ok punter nothing special Amendola on the other hand with practice can be a weapon in the punt game as evidenced when Mann went down and Amendola stepped in 

are you high? Amendola is a kicker. Thomas Morstead punted for us starting week 2 until Mann came back. Are you seriously basing this on the couple emergency punts he made?

Why are you guys acting like Pineiro is money in the bank from short yardage?  He missed an extra point against the Jags. Probably should have cost us the game.  He was cut from the Bears for... missing an extra point.

he was cut because of a groin injury. where do you get your info?

No not high at all just a scenario that may work . So Morestead came in and punted Amendola who probably hasn’t practiced punting did an excellent job. Let Pinero do from 45 and in Amendola does anything longer and punts as I am not sold on Pinero. Doesn’t inspire confidence and Just looks shaky to me

You are correct.  I pulled it out of my ass.  Not intentionally, but I misread an article about his time on the Bears.  He did miss 2 out of 29 in 2019 and one in the preseason, plus the one the other day.  I will correct it.  He was an abysmal 3 of 7 from 40-49 for the Bears though.

Lmao!, Yeah and yesterday's vs the Bills was definitely wind blown because we all know he has a weak leg. ?

His leg is fine.

He's been, literally, as good as possible....

I mean if he's this good in practice there's no reason not to keep him.  

Would rather have the guy that can make the 48 yarders consistently -even if he'll have a hard time with the 58 yarders...

 

Agreed. Leg looked good yesterday. To me I don't care if they have him kick off or not. Honestly if you used a draft pick on a punter, he should be kicking off anyhow.

The extra point against the Jags was blocked. He didn't miss a FG attempt since he was signed and the 49 yarder yesterday was impressive considering the swirling wind.

Isn't one of the the reasons it got blocked that his kicks tend to be low?  I won't pretend to be an expert or that he wouldn't be a solid option for the season, but I don't believe the swirling wind thing - it was a tailwind.  That game was a tale of two halves.  The Jets had the wind in the 2nd and 3rd and outscored the Bills 10-3.  The Bills had the wind in the 1st and 5th and outscored the Jets 24-0.  I think the swirling winds were Shea and the Meadowlands with the doors open.
