Notes:

Was an all-state punter as a Wisconsin prep, and also played linebacker and tight end. Punted in all 13 games in 2008, booting 66 punts for an average of 41.8 yards with a long of 64 and 19 punts inside the 20-yard line. Totaled 49-42.0-L61-17 in ’09 and 38-42.7-L76-14 in ’10. Booted 46-42.2-L74-19 during his fourth and final season as the Badgers punter in '11.

Positives:

Good leg strength and hang time. Has a feel for directional and pooch punting. Four-year starter. Experience kicking in cold, wind and rain. Held for place kicks.

Negatives:

Inconsistent get-off quickness. At times, hurries himself and boots some duds. Punts die in windy conditions. Average athlete — not fleet of foot on fakes.

Summary:

Experienced, smart, right-footed punter who takes pride in his craft. Will have to improve delivery quickness to have a shot.

Brad Nortman, P, Wisconsin

Projected Round (2011): FA.

4/26/12: Nortman averaged 42.2 yards per punt in 2011. He had 19 downed inside the 20-yard line and a long punt of 74 yards. His attempts were down because Wisconsin's offense put up big point totals.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
