You don’t hear much about punters during fall camp, but the things that have been said don’t instill a lot of confidence going into the season.
We brought in Cam Peasley from Australia with some high hopes. To quote Whit after the first week or so of camp, Peasley was looking “horrible”. Apparently he turned it around and started getting some really good kicks in as time went on, but as recently as two days ago, whit has talked about how he needs to settle down and be more consistent. Covey has mentioned he just seems to have his nerves get to him. br />
Punting hopefully won’t come into play much against weber, but it’s certainly going to be a necessary facet of the game going forward. Being able to flip the field is a huge help for your defense. We can’t afford a nervous punter dropping the snap or shanking it out of bounds ten yards down the field while backed up in our own territory.
Hope we have a contingency plan in Peasley can’t cut it.
