Punting Quotes

When we see voting machine vendors spending almost a million and a half dollars to lobby in our state over the past few years, we have to wonder whether this spending impacted the Legislature's decision to avoid selecting a voting machine themselves by punting the question down to the State Board [of Elections] and localities. - Rachel Leon

We never got in a rhythm, and that's what we are trying to eliminate... We are trying to start faster and get in a rhythm. We took too many pre-snap penalties early, and it put us in a situation where we were always punting. Hopefully what we are doing on the offensive side of the ball will clean that up. - Jim Haslett

We kind of laugh at our guys. They see it every day and they can't catch it. Our guys are tickled to death on the sideline when he starts punting in games. They're almost betting money that (the returner) won't be able to handle it. - Herm Edwards

We have to see improvement in the kicking game. We have some veteran players kicking and punting the football for us, and they need to be more consistent. Right now, we're not very consistent on field goals or punting, and that's going to be critical for this football team. Even with the snaps this spring, our consistency was not as good as it was in the fall. We have a lot of work to do. - Bobby Wallace

There's a difference between going out to practice and punting, and getting in a game and punting. He has to get the ball off, he's got a live rush, he's got guys coming at him, and I'm trying to work on his mindset. I'm trying to get him to where he's competing against New Mexico State when he gets a snap, and he's not just going out and going through the motions. - Jeff Banks

There is nothing wrong with punting the ball, and I have made that comment to Kyle a few times. We have a good defense. Punting the ball is not a negative play. A negative play is a sack, a fumble or an interception. - Ron Turner

The overall kicking game, kickoffs as well as punting, helped us out tremendously. To pin them back like we did gave the defense an opportunity to put more pressure on them. - Bryan Way

The goals are always the same... I would like to have a nice punting average. The most important thing though, is the net (average) because sometimes you're forced to punt it far or short, again depending on the situation. And field goals, you always want to make them all. - Steve Morgan
