Of course, the season doesn't start tomorrow so there's a lot to be settled between now and next season. Just relaying what AU reporters are saying FWIW.

All it takes is 1 time, and do you really want your QB back there? We're a good enough program we shouldn't rely on our ONLY good QB to be the punter too...that is all I am saying..

Between the D having to play back to protect against a 4th down attempt and that the QB isn't taking a 4 step runup to kick the ball, it just gets off his foot too quickly for any defender to really get close enough to hit him. Which, of course, means that any hit on the QB in that case is probably going to be so late that it's gonna be hard to swallow the flag. I would actually love to see us run the QB quick kick more often on 4th and 4 or so...Nix has the speed and the arm that we could steal some possessions.

Agreed about the quick kick- I actually love that Gus uses it- but we're talking hypothetically about actually having the QB as a full-time punter. Apologies if I misunderstand your post.

Is he actually a really good punter? Do you know what his average is kicking? That could actually bring a new dynamic to the table if our QB was the punter because every kick means we could potentially fake it and throw it. It would bring defenses up and not set up for the return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we DID go with Bo at punter, I doubt we'd line him up in full punt formation, but he almost certainly won't be our "primary" punter. At best, if we don't get a good enough punter, I could see Gus running the quick kick when the distance is favorable, and frankly, I wouldn't mind that happening at all, even if we don't get a good punter.

I took over as the long term sub for a teacher who was having health issues last fall, and they just hired a new full time teacher so I'm back to regular subbing every now and then and tutoring. Also have another part time job that I just took on to make up the hours I'm losing, and I'm back at AUM part time to eventually get my master's so I can teach in college, which is WAY more on my level. Because of my wreck, I seriously cannot remember a time when I didn't know all the math up to Algebra 1, so breaking down the most basic elements of math for special needs kids just isn't my forte. When I subbed for the Algebra 1 and Geometry/Algebra 2 teachers (only a couple of days each), it was a lot easier, both because I didn't have to come up with lesson plans and because I CAN break down that level to pieces they understand.

I'm not sure how much I'll be on going forward, because as I mentioned in my most previous comment, I just started back to school and I've got two part time jobs (and I don't do well typing on my cell phone), but I should be around more since it's still basketball season. I just came in here to get caught up on all the recruiting tidbits now that I have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
