Well, let's get down to it

I want to see our offensive line kick Hardy's ass up and down that field for a full 60 minutes. Do not take your foot off the gas and show no mercy.

what is he messing up exactly? he seems to be flipping the field pretty consistently when called upon

I admit this is based more on my intuition than analyzing measurable data, but his punts are fairly short. He seems to get the ball in the middle of the field more than to the side. I would prefer, because he kicks short, to kick it to the sideline so the returner has no way of getting more yards. Joe Webb,Teddy Williams, and Jacobs have come up big at times to let us overlook Nortman's punting. 

Some stats that favor my point: Out of the punters who kicked thirty or more punts, he is tied for 25th out of 32 for punts in the twenty. He also ranks 5th for most touchbacks. He ranks 18 in net yards punted, which is more indicative of the whole ST unit, but may speak to the placement of his punts being in open space. This is not terrible, but for an elite team whose focus was special teams during training camp, it's a little concerning. 

Let's just say that if I have feel Nortman is more of a concern than the receivers, then I am really confident in them.
