Punter Tim Masthay has punted 11 times for 448 yards with a long of 56. That averages just under 41 yards a punt.
For comparison sake, Masthay has not averaged less than 43.5 yards a punt during an entire regular season since 2010.

Mathay's eight punts went for 36, 51, 56, 44, 45, 46, 39 and 29 yards against the Steelers. While his overall average for the Steelers game (43.3) topped his average for Patriots game (34.0) I am thinking the Packers need to bring in another punter.

Any Punter's out there or is the lack of a quality replacement the reason the Packers are going for it on 4th down so often?

I wish they would have brought a couple of guys in to compete with him.

edit: Or take a trip to Australia to see what they could find.

Adding to this, our Ginger punted four times for a whopping average of 37.2 yards.
What the hell is up with Ginger?

I can punt the ball consistently, the Packers should bring me in. It might be consistently 25 yards, but still.

If we get rid of Masthay, we need to find somebody who can hold. Hey, let's try Barclay - he's got a lot of experience holding.

Michael Koenen was recently released. Although, I don't know if I want another release Punter, add Frost type of situation again.

I now cringe every time the guy drops back to punt, I'm expecting either a shank or a low line drive that's easily returned.
He is going to cost us a lot of field position this year.
Keep the fourth quarterback and have him hold for Crosby, and sign a college kid with a big leg.
Do it now before the season starts.

I think Masthay will be fine.
He's just not scheming or tipping his hand in meaningless games. [lol]
