How about that punting .....


Recommended Posts

but seriously, how bout it? One of the bright spots was Nortman's punting. He gave our defense solid field position, and let's face it, our ST has sucked for the past few years. Good to see improvement.

Nortman has improved markedly since last year; However, the one he basically shanked costed us an offensive possession. (You remember... this is the one that hit a panther blocking for Ginn) As the scoreboard reflected, that One possession could have meant the difference in a L or a W.

He has definitely improved though, and The first of the two Armomd Smith out of bounds penalties was completely bogus. As per the new rule... He was back in a "reasonable" amount of time imho.

Seattles punter on the other hand is a BOSS!

How would Nortman hit a guy blocking for Ginn?? Wouldn't that have been their punter?

It didn't hit Nortman shanked a punt, it was shorter than he wanted and therefore the punt coverage (Josh Tomas) I believe was hit with the ball, which makes it a live ball (fumble) that Seattle jumped on.....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....lol........ I see exactly what you're talking about...

Total brainfart. The whole time I'm sitting here wondering what u didn't get... And I'm the one that was completely wrong. My bad dude. Sorry for the confusion

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
