auburn4ever 1,266 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I hope Gus doesn't put Daniel in there to punt like he did during A-Day. Daniel only needs to focus only on kicking those FG's and PAT's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle 9,064 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Good thinking, A4E. I can tell you really mean this, by your use of bold lettering. How is the punting situation? I don't recall Shannon looking especially good during the a-day game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,801 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Stidham punted a few times for Baylor. Our fake-punt game is going to be off the charts. OR WE CAN EVEN RUN THE FAKE FAKE-PUNT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shabby 1,948 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I think Carlson returning for his senior year is the biggest keep of the season and it Isnt even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 14,363 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Daniel has secretly been practicing 70 and even 80 yard FGs and we will never actually punt this season. We will either score a touchdown or a field goal everytime we have the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linayus 676 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 About the punting situation.. I know Shannon was out but why use Carlson at all? Don't we have other guys who need the practice more? Or are the rest so bad that Carlson is our #2 if Shannon is out? I really hope that's not it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tivo48 31 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 May have just been letting DC have a little fun getting some punts in during the spring game.

Watched him during warm-ups and he was not good at all. Had little distance on the punts that he did not shank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,784 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 This should be a more nuanced discussion. The question is injury risk. A few punts do not significantly tire a Carlson-level kickers leg so, is significantly better field position from consistently decent punts worth risking a clutch/auto 3 point kicker to injury during those punts? That's a tough one IMO. Likely moot anyway - either Shannon gets his act together during the Summer or AU goes the Kevin Phillips/JUCO punter market again. If I had to guess.

Guest WarEagleSteve Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Slightly different note but if we don't play for a natty this year then Daniel Carlson would be the first Auburn kicker since 2007 to never start a national title game during his career. He would also be the first Auburn kicker since 2002 to never start for an SEC Championship winning team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
