Jordan Berry Watch Thread

[EzraTank]

LOL, yeah Mike that's our biggest problem, the punter. Not the 63 points you just gave up the last two weeks.

Really?
Scroll down and check out his stats.

I don't see any defensive stats for Berry.

I don't see any defensive stats for Berry.

Should have typed "scroll back" to post #17, comparing Berry's stats to Wile's, Berry's competition in camp.

As previously suggested, may have kept the wrong guy.

If 2/3 of your team is broke you don’t just fix 1/3 of it. The reality is that special teams stands the best chance for improvement any time soon.

All the comments about defense are cute.

Ok. Let's say the ST is godlike. The Steelers won't be any better. ST isn't going to fix the problem.

The HC's job is to manage the whole operation. He can't say, "my defense sucks so I'm not going to worry about special teams." That's ridiculous to think that. But as long as we're just posting about it on the interwebz I guess we can think and post anything we want.

Then he needs to start managing. Standing around saying obviously hasn't worked.

Interesting take. Maybe this is why Berry keeps his job?

He doesn't really do well at uncorking long punts, but his placement is excellent. He drops them in pretty nice.

I guess as long as the offense keeps stalling out just outside the red zone, Berry is the punter for this team?

I kid...I kid...

[SteelMember]

He's been doing better. I think the earlier issues were a couple shanks, not a pinning .vs touchback problem.
I don't think there's more than a couple guys out there that you could say "flip the field" when your offense goes 3 and out, and you're punting from your own 25 yard line.
You'd be lucky the average the opponents 40 most times...

Josh Miller.....anyone?

I’ve noticed this, especially this season. He’s not a distance guy but he can place them pretty well. That one he plunked in on Sunday at the 2 or whatever it was was impressive.

[Six Rings]

Oh, I'm not saying he's good...there are certainly bigger issues.

For sure, but punting should not be a box of chocolates.
