Andy Lee was worth it

I cannot explain how amazing it is we finally, after all these years, have an elite punter. Andy Lee is playing like Todd Sauerbrun without the off-field issues. Through two games, he ranks in the top five in punting average and net punting average. I'll gladly trade a fourth rounder (we haven't had a fourth rounder become a legitimate, competent starter since Frank Garcia in 1995) for that.

We have needed this for years. Having a guy who can flip the field allows our defense a lot of slack, which they are going to need. This long-term renovation of special teams has worked well for Getts. Signing Ginn in 2013 and 2015 (yes, he dropped a kick today, but overall he's excellent) and finding Gano (again, occasional mistakes but still top 10), on top of Lee, is about as good as we could ask for. Now we just need to find our gunner.

Yup that punt to pin niners on the 2 yard line was a thing of beauty.

We kicked the ball from our own 49. After our defense stopped them, we got the ball back on our 46. 

Our punter (with the defense, of course), allowed us to resume offense at virtually the same spot we left off. That's fugging ridiculous.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
