I have no concerns with the punting situation. 2 yeas ago we needed a big leg punter who could flip the field with our offense not getting past our own 20 yard line. Nortman was good at that. He was hitting punts from the 5 10 and 15 yrad lines cause thats where our offese stalled. Last year he did not have to punt that many times and was punting alot from around the 50 so his punts were shorter and he shanked a few. Im guessing the coaches feel we will not punt a whole lot this year and we can save some money going with a rookie. If you look at good teams ie the Pats thier punter barely gets on the field except for extra points. Cooke Has a big leg and can be used on kickoffs. So lets hope he can handle snaps and get the ball down for the extra points really well. I dont think we will need him as much in the punting game as in years past.
