Eisen: Nortman to Jax

[TheNewStandard]

I can't believe there are 12-pages on this turd of a punter that was pretty much garbage last year.

i made it to page 2....done. Next Please

Happy for him. Especially if they pay him well. Punting in warm weather the majority of your career is probably a pretty sweet gig.

Punters are criminally underated. Field position is extremely important and you're not gonna drive for a score every time you have the ball. 

[Mr. Scot]

So it turns out that the punter they had drafted is actually a free agent this year. Nortman was signed to replace him.

PFT says he Jags are looking to move on from the ghosts of previous drafts. Not necessarily that Anger is bad, but that drafting him that high (especially given some of the players that were taken later that year) made them look pretty goofy.

I wouldn't mind us giving Anger a look. Should come pretty cheap and has a cannon leg if nothing else.

Didn't Jax draft a punter in the third round the same year we drafted Nortman?

Yes, they did.

And they drafted him ahead of Russell Wilson.

Who drafted a punter ahead of Russell Wilson?

Jacksonville drafted a punter ahead of Russell Wilson.

[AceBoogie]

Well, he will get more playing time thats for sure.

And several other good players.

Their front office got absolutely roasted for that, and deservedly so. 

Speculation is that they let Anger walk not so much because he was doing a bad job but just to ease the embarrassment.

Just saw the Eisen clip with Nortman from  yesterday.  LOL.  Definitely gonna miss Brad's humor.

It gives the fans plenty of nightmares too.
