Eric Wallace Punter?

[Devil Doc]

If worse comes to worse and Scifries and Redfern don't work out... we always have our TE Wallace as a punter.

I actually love this..

 

Rugby style punts bouncing everywhere so Sproles or whoever has game changing moments (more than a few has happened to us).

 

Plus you run into that guy....... bruh. More ability to fake punt..  IM ALL IN WALLLLLLACEEEEEE IS FREEEEEDOM

 

Carolina is way too conservative to ever consider that.

That would be one big ass punter

The only problem is that the blocking for a rugby style punter is completely different. They typically step to one side  instead of straight ahead. There is a reason every NFL team doesn't run out and recruit rugby players to punt.

 

But other than that, it would be coll to see someone the size of a DE back there punting.

I like it! Most intimidating punter since Todd Sauerbrun... just without the 'roids... And probably not as good at punting.

.. rugby players to punt.

fug that grinds my gears.

It's a "drop punt" and it has basically nothing to do with rugby. Also, a guy who played Aussie Rules for about 4 years is not going to be able to punt well enough.

This is like someone telling you that The Ottawa Redblacks are the best professional football team in North America.

However, moving on.

What you are talking about is something similar to the way Tom Hackett punted for Utah last year where he won the Ray Guy award and it's basically useless in the NFL because of rule differences:

If you're interested this is rugby:

And this is the vastly superior game of Aussie Rules:

 

Or if you want actual game footage I just now stumbled on this final 15 minutes of my team (the Browns of the AFL) beating a team of drug cheats who went from 8-1 to then after this loss missing the finals (first team to do so since we did it in 1971).

This (our 2nd of 4 wins for the year where we were tanking for #1 draft pick) was a fuging great game:

Apologies for the commentators; bunch of galahs.

On second thoughts, maybe a game with a bit more skill involved. A highlight package of our most recent win:

Mate, as a huge Hawks supporter (and utter loather of the Dons since we didn't beat them between 97-05), I much prefer the first highlight package..

This would be funny just for screwing with the standards.
