Watch the punting game tonight

I think Hadad and Coleman were discussing it this week, but apparently the coaches tried to change Tucker Day's punting technique when he got on campus last summer. He said he will be going back to his old technique this week.

This has been one of the main reasons our D has given up scores this year. Hopefully the issue is resolved this week. Fingers crossed.

What was the technique change? Number of steps? Why'd they change it?

Said he couldn't get the kick off fast enough the way he was doing it.

I’m interested in this as well. It simply makes zero since for the #1 HS punter in the country to suddenly turn into a hot mess unless someone was tinkering with his game. Also begs the question as to why one would do it in the first place unless a guy had a known issue with getting the ball off in time

These kickers are like golfers. The slightest jab to their psyche can create a case of the shanks out of nowhere

He said he is going to take another step, I hope it doesn’t give the other team block opportunities.

The technical term is "hosel fade".

Didn't our punter Walker several years ago take an extra step, and for some reason went from great to getting a lot of punts blocked. Not sure if he added a step or what happened. Seemed like it took forever for him to get rid of the ball though.

Bump. Punt coming up.

Well, here comes the first punt of the night for him. Let’s see what he’s got.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

No improvement on that punt.

 

[Shmuley]

Looked like he took one step and kicked it.
