Repeating my post from other transfer thread.
Could one of you energetic young whippersnappers compare our incoming transfers to our out going? Stars, experience, whatever. Are we gaining or losing talent? Come on energy bunnys. Get to work.

Looks like his stats were better but the tag of “one of the best punters in the country” from KQs tweet feels like a stretch. Probably more like a top 3rd guy who does appear to be an upgrade over Shanahan.

It's not solely the distance, but the hang time that is biggest factor. Shanahan's was not good.

Generally that’s reflected in punt return yard defense stats. Excluding TBs, Nichols had 14/43 punts returned for 74 yards and Shanahan had 25/45 punts returned for 216 yards. Shanahan among the worst in the country. Respectable numbers for Nichols but not really among the “best in the country.”

Part is Shanahan’s issue was form, part coaching (apparently), and part may have also been snapper related. All are gone this year so we’ll see.

Shanahan seemed to be really good at kicking line drive punts directly to the returner prompting a good return. Hopefully the new guy has better hang time to induce a fair catch or allow our special teams to be able to tackle him quicker

Yes. He was atrocious at hang time.

My friend I don't want you to be disappointed but the people here seem to be lazy and ignore any reasonable requests for further information, especially when it involves others doing work requested by other posters. Yeah, I know...this younger generation. Whadaya gonna do? I asked for coffee machines and donuts in the break room over a month ago and I bet you can guess how much progress has been made on that. You can't take it personally or it will get to you. To be honest, I've seen better efficiencies and motivation at the local DMV.

I heard the coffee machine was on back order from temu. You didn't miss anything with the so-called "donuts" that was brought in. They were from one of those discount stores that sells bread products right before they expire, but whoever bought them forgot to check the date as they had been expired for over a month! They were quite hard and stale....
