DakotaT;319299I 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 like this idea except Blanchard is already gone. Teach Tolzien and/or Hundley to hold or maybe somebody from among the receivers or DBs did it in high school or college.
I just remembered, Abbrederis was a high school QB. And Cobb a college QB.

With well over 100 colleges playing football and approx. 1/4 graduating punters every year, there must be someone or 2 or 3 available.

Phins saved 1.3M by cutting Brandon Fields. On his worst day he’s better than Mastay.


In his probowl year [2012] averaged 50, then 48 in 2013 and in an off year had 46 avg [39.6 8Net] w/ 21 of 58 inside 20 in 2014. Had 3 career blocks, 1 in 2014; 2 career fumbles 1in ’12 and 1 in ’13.

Mastay was 44.1/38.6 w/ 14 of 49 inside the 20 w/ 2 blocks in 14 and 2 career fumbles.

Not sure how much punting in Miami v. Green bay affects things; but he does play 1 game in NE, Buff and NY each year.

texaspackerbacker;319279If 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.

And now that's our biggest concern. Who's going to hold for Mason Crosby since Tim Masthay has been cut?
