membengal Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 The bigger issue per scouts is that Michigan often was punting from strong field position so he didn't often need to boom the ball downfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted April 30 Author Report Share Posted April 30 I think he team preferred him over Korsak, because Korsak was an Australian punter with a running to the side style. They also probably liked the fact that Robbins is used to Ohio weather and punting outside, plus his hangtime is actually rare. As a booming low drive punt can come back to bite you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lslmustang Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Hangtime means no run back and that's key, even if not a deep punt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I'm really not trying to be Sour (Eli?) Apples Harry and get the daily and hotly contested Debbie Downer Sad Trombone Award but my rhetorical questions/comments are: How will he look with a tits to the wall rush coming at him? and We have heard about hang time but what about distance? P.S. I have this guy penciled in as our punter for the next decade and being a factor in our Super Bowl win this year. Wot? Too soon?

Come on Harry…they are literally calling out the distance for each punt in the video. Watch it again with the volume turned up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch it again with the volume turned up. yeah, I heard it and NOT being argumentative... was said in some of his publicity that at Michigan he was usually not punting from deep in his own territory. But a 46 yard kick from our 10 would put the other team in pretty good field position even with no run back. Just questioning if distance and direction might be more helpful in certain situations like Huber in his prime and Pat MacInally than a mortar shot.

sparky151 Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Would have worked better for him if it had been resolved 2 weeks ago. He probably has a good defamation case against the alleged "victim" but she doesn't have the several hundred thousand he would have made in the NFL last year.
