    Crap

    I was really hoping this kid could grow into something

    Our kicking game looks as shaky as ever right now

        Very little is looking solid right now. Lets hope the Eagle game was an anomaly and not the norm.

            Wing is a crappy punter and he also seems to have a crappy attitude. After one of his shanks, I saw him run over to the ST coach, and it appeared that he was trying to explain that the snap was off. Immature and inconsistent is not what I'm looking for in a punter. Own your mistakes and learn from them.

                    Not sure, but after his Dad repeatedly blasted the Steelers for cutting his son, I'm pretty sure there is no way that he returns.

                        It was a backup long snapper....

                            It's over. Who ever is our choice beyond Wing, is who we are going to have. Once again, it looks like not only is our punting going to be among the league's worst, but now our FG kicker stinks too. What an F'n mess. This team is in tatters.

                                    It was, but as a punter in game conditions, you are going to have to deal with less than perfect snaps. Even in warm-ups on his own, Wing was inconsistent. He's boom a punt and follow it with a shank. By himself.

                                                Wing is the Dwyer of punters. Wait until the last possible moment to flash just enough potential to squeak onto the roster.

                                                    Ha ha, I hate scenarios like this in life. Like having beer goggles on

                                                            not the first time a returner has had trouble with one of wing's punts.

                                                            maybe the left foot kicking has an effect on these guys
