Talked about how important it is to get first downs for defensive rest and flipping field position
Well, he was pretty young when he got here, so you'd have to expect he'd develop as he aged.Has anyone notice that Hedley is absolutely booming his punts? Kid was a great find.
He's the oldest player on the team---believe he is 26Well, he was pretty young when he got here, so you'd have to expect he'd develop as he aged.
He also had to adjust to kicking NFL style compared to what he's used too. I think he could make an NFL Team.Well, he was pretty young when he got here, so you'd have to expect he'd develop as he aged.
Being able to flip the field will pay dividends. Last year our D was constantly defending short fields. If they were able to make a stop and force a punt, our inept offense would be pinned deep, go 3 & out and Hedley would be punting from inside our own 20. Vicious cycle. Field position isn't a **** stat but it'll **** you all the same.Has anyone notice that Hedley is absolutely booming his punts? Kid was a great find.
You might be thinking of his son.He's the oldest player on the team---believe he is 26
It would be amazing if he stayed next year and helped his brother(has a bigger leg) adjust to the college game.Borregales is the best find besides king. That guy is good and has a cannon leg
Yeah no way he’s 26. He and uncle realus were sharing war stories at last years Bethune press conference. And when I say war i mean both wars. 1 and 2You might be thinking of his son.
We are just a couple of seasons from our nightmare run with punters... what a relief to not worry about kicking the **** ball...
Also him being an Aussie punter who rolls to the right, he always has the ability to just hold the ball and run the fake if they bail out on that side.
don’t be shocked if we fake a couple punts this year when we get desperate.
Honestly, was waiting for exactly this at least once last year....
