J.K. Scott was fantastic. He kept Alabama in the game against Ohio State in the playoffs.
Until the last 2-3 years, we've had excellent punters for years, just bad kickers.
Last year we had a bad punter and a bad kicker.
Now we have a great kicker and a meh punter (who is JK Scotts little brother).

Was getting it done for the Packers too, until the inconsistency/injuries this season.
J.K. was big in helping pull-in Reichard (the current kicker) to Alabama too. I think they bonded pretty well while he was being recruited.

A Punter?

It doesn't make sense!
However, also important is they've only allowed 2 total punts to be returned for a total of 2 combined yards. And of y'alls two punters, 9 of their 22 punts combined have landed inside the 20, and 2 have gone into the endzone for touchbacks. So, of your 22 total punts this year, at least half of them are y'all trying to pin someone inside the 20, which isn't going to yield great averages per punt when you're not trying to punt deep. And if none of them are being returned, you're not losing much in that area.

So little info. Where are punts taking place? 38 might be fine if punting from midfield slot. A Vandy punter averaging 37-38(a man) would be shitty since they rarely see midfield.

What ever happened to that transfer Alabama got in 2018? Dude was supposed to be good as hell and missed like 3 straight Pats at the start of the year then was never heard from again. Did we just dump his body in the marsh somewhere?

Doesn't matter where he punts from, it'll be a short boot!
J.K. Scott was and still is awesome!
Can you even name Bama's CURRENT punter?
Here's a hint - it is JK Scott's younger brother Charlie. He took over the job beginning with the Tennessee game.
He's kicked 13 times - of those 4 have come from the 50 or inside the opponent's territory. All of those have been downed inside the 20.
For those on Bama's side of the field he is averaging 42 yards a punt. None have been returned and only one was a touchback. You're talking about a NET of roughly 40 yards a kick when on Bama's side of the 50.
The kid's doing just fine, thank you.
You really should try watching the games so you'll know what you're talking about.

I check the status after every game.
Maybe, you should try it!

Do you not remember JK Scott and our field goal kicker is good he has never missed this year

The only season Bama's had a decent field goal kicker AND punter over the past ten years is 2016 with Griffith and Scott. Other than that, it's always been one unit that's good and the other unit being terrible.

Bama never has good kickers. It usually doesn't matter.
That’s not true at all.
Had exceptional punters for years until JK Scott left.
Kicking really hadn’t been reliable since Leigh Tiffin graduated in 2009. But Will Reichard has been amazing this season. Most likely a Lou Groza award finalist.

I think Charlie Scott has done an admirable job punting this year. But the bar has been pretty low since JK graduated in 2017.

Funny, I listed the actual facts that disproved your assertion. Almost as if I look at the stats. Imagine that....
