I'm not asking for Joe Adams, I just want someone whom I can trust not to drop the ball on a fair catch in a crucial punt situation.
It always amazed me when Nutt was here that we couldn't find one guy to field punts consistently. BP shored that up from year one, hopefully we're not going back to the Nutt days of horrendous special teams b/c it cost us numerous times during the Nutt years w/ the Fish fumble being the obvious #1

Also, wanted to ask about the Place Kicking. Are we just waiting for the freshman or does anyone else have a shot at being the starter next year?

I don't think Cornelius is going to be the Joe Adams that everybody is hoping he will be. He is a nice smooth athlete but he doesn't strike me as being an elite playmaker like Joe, but I could be wrong there. What he looks like is a faster, more sure handed Keon Hatcher. I don't mean their physical build, but their role on the team. He can take a slip or bubble screen to the house, or he can grab that 10yd slant on third down. I just don't see him making all 11 defenders fall on their face on a once a year type punt return.

He didn't shore up the position, he had a guy named Joe Adams who could play the position.
Shoring up the position would mean it would not revert back to what it was before when Adams left, which it did.

It never ceased to amaze me that during the Nutt years, we had a fricking fullback (Hillis) returning punts. I remember fricking Jerell Norton returning punts at one point and dropping like two in a game and still not getting benched.
