.... as I will be moving back to Virginia to try out for the vacant Redskins punter position. How bad has Durant Brooks been through 6 games? He was literally booed as he walked off the field after another terrible punt in the first half of yesterday's debacle. (And this isn't Philadelphia we're talking about.) Brooks won the Ray Guy award last year at Georgia Tech but apparently is not ready to be an NFL punter. He has shanked countless kicks. He has the lowest punt average in the league. And he fumbled the snap on a 30 yard FG attempt during a Week 2 win over the Saints. Brooks just flat out sucks balls.
It should be pointed out that I was the punter (and kicker) for the McLean Mustangs while I was in junior high and am fairly confident that I could do a much better job than Brooks. (I should point out that Mustangs team was so bad and so thin that I also served as starting quarterback, linebacker, kick returner, and punt returner and my Dad was still the only member of my family who could stomach watching our games during a 2-9 season.)
Vinny Cerrato said on the radio this morning that the team will be working out a few punters this week and that "Somebody else will be punting on Sunday." Sounds like they need me.
I just went outside and punted a nerf football almost 25 yards and it went relatively straight. The wind may have carried it about 15 of those yards but I'm still pretty confident that I could outkick Brooks.
Wish me luck.
And enjoy reading someone else's dumb blog until I get back.
