    I guess Brad Wing and Podlesh are going to battle it out. Probably will add a UDFA kid out of college too. Think they really want to improve the punting game and special teams?

    SOP to bring in a veteran camp body more for our returners to get reps then a camp battle but it never hurts to give a little test to our starter. His highlight will be punting that sixth punt to AB at Latrobe while he is holding onto the previous 5 punts. Fans get a kick out of that show.

    Adam Podlesh 3rd in NFL with just 2 touchbacks last season. Ranked 13th with 27 kicks inside 20. Can't just look at avg w punters

    Mesko/McBriar had 16 punts downed inside 20 last season. Podlesh had 27 with only two touchbacks.

    Net average of less than 40 yards latest year and the Bears were more than happy to dump this guy. They had brought in multiple guys to work out to motivate him. Scooping up another team's trash.

    Podlesh net, inside the 20 and touchbacks were all better than what Steelers ran out there in 2013

    Wing and Podlesh are betting than what we had last year. Podlesh is better than Sepulveda any day (wish we could have drafted him instead of Sepulveda).
