@Iggles_Phan So you are cool with a 27 yard punt followed by a 36 yard punt in the playoffs this year and another line drive punt returned to the Eagles 5?

All punters are about the same. All of them gave up the longest punt return in SB history... Oh wait, that was just Siposs.

 

Curious. You mention a 27 yard punt and a 36 yard punt in the playoffs and another punt that was returned to the five. If Siposs only punted twice in the entire postseason, where did the third punt come from?

@Iggles_Phan  Please stop trying to use feelings and opinion when using stats. 41.5 net punting is not just like 39.6 net punting

One was the 14th best out of about 34 and the other was 30th best.

14 is mediocre

30 is garbage

 

Its not nuance. Its BS.

 

Piling up rankings is meaningless in this situation.  You line up the two punters next to each other...  one kicks it 1 yard further on average.  That's what we are talking about.  1 yard.  Hiding that fact that the difference is 1 yard by saying that there's 14 guys that punt it inbetween those two that are 1 yard different is irrelevant to this discussion.   But, I do like how you completely ignored the inside the 20 stat.  Net punting alone is NOT a good stat to stack up the punters.  You are actually handicapping a punter who has to punt from closer to the opponent's goal line, because the goal isn't to kick it 50 yards when kicking it 42 yards drops the ball at the 5 yard line, but 50 yards puts it 3 yards deep into the end zone.  So, you take a little more off the kick, and land a 35 yard punt at the 12 yard line instead... 

The net piece, you could argue takes that into account... but it really doesn't, as it also includes return yards, not just whether or not you kick it into the end zone or not.  And we know the Eagles coverage team also sucks.  

 

So, stop trying to pigeon hole the argument to two numbers that are not different enough to actually make a bit of difference.  1 yard.  That's what you are clamoring on about.  In other words, this change is about making a change, and you getting your pound of flesh for the Super Bowl.  You are the one with your feelings getting in the way of this discussion, not me.  I am looking at more information than just the numbers that you think make your case.  Those numbers don't.  14 vs. 30 isn't the question.  26 yard line or 27 yard line for starting field position... that's the issue.

Nope, that's his resume.

You have watched the playoff games, right?

 

You are pretending stats can dance for you (they can't) I am reminding you of another reason why Siposs is the worst player on the team and should be replaced.

I've got no issue with replacing Siposs.  I am just asking that the player coming in to replace him actually be better.   That's all.  I've yet to see an argument that's actually cogent that Waitman is that guy.  He's different, but different doesn't automatically equal better.

These would be very similar to Maltesers, which I used to eat in my high school years in the 80s.  I believe they were sold in the US for a short time:

 

We have those over here; decent candy, but guess they are a rebrand of your version.

What's the discussion about Rodgers and Lamar? Just talking about if Rodgers still has it and if Lamar can go back to his MVP year that was like 5 years ago?

Lamar was just what was said on here, the delay in the deal won't help a 3rd deal and how an agent would help him get commercial deals, etc.  Rodgers was a bit about taking less money, as I recall, to spite the Packers and the Jets giving him some say of personnel, which the Packers refused to do.

You are only as strong as your weakest link. Most of special teams and Siposs are terrible and could haunt you once again if you have to face Mahomes and a very good special teams. That's the ultimate worry here. Don't care about bogus regular season stats if a guy can't perform, but hold a buncha balls at crunch time. 😉

Since Michael Clay was brought back, even extended, I sadly don’t see them moving on from Siposs unless there’s a punter they really like that gets cut. 

Still trying to figure out why the heck Clay was extended, he's a dreadful ST coach

Good for him, makes one wonder how guys each year slip through the cracks, he would've looked nice in green 

There were more than a few of us who really liked him leading up to the Draft. Howie would have gotten a Draft grade of 11 if he’d have signed Pace as a UDFA

BTW... nfl.com has Siposs at 40.6 yards net, which is why I've been rounding it to 1 yard.  It is actually only 0.9 yards.   Even smaller, but I was being generous.

 Is he? He did seem to get the unit performing better on KORs towards the end of the season.  It's not his fault Siposs stinks.

I'd be perfectly fine moving on from Maddox to be honest. Guy can't stay healthy.

Indeed and many from the border states that went both directions.  Kentucky tried to officially remain 'neutral', but citizens from Kentucky went both directions, but no Kentucky regiments were sent by the governor to either side.

In my area of PA, there were folks that fought for the South.  York County went Democratic in 1860.

His blocking on PR is atrocious, covey has 5-6 guys on him as soon as he touches the ball and Swain this pre season same thing.

Siposs hasn't gotten any better.

KR is inconsequential with the new rules.

And he inherited Elliott who is the best part of the ST units.

His job is to coach them up put them in position to make plays and he does neither.

I tire of every week watching every team have long  punt returns or long punts.

Part of it could be Howie and nic as well 

Under Chip ST regularly ranked at the top, because chip put an emphasis on having players that were good on teams.

Seems since he left that priority went with him, dint get me wrong I'm glad chip is gone he was awful and I wish the priority on special teams when he left would have stayed.

Yup, Maddox is made of glass, can't count on a guy who is rarely available.
