Call Blake Gillikin back. This new punter sucks bad.

How did this guy get the job over Gillikin anyway? I don't get it.

I'll be honest, Blake had a poor camp. Shanked (but correctable with coaching) a few but still has a BOOMING leg. The new guy was equally bad in pre season.

IMO they gave up on Blake G way too soon ... just 2 seasons ago he was talked about as a Pro Bowl punter. He was punting that well.

So far, Hedley (new guy) simply isn't flipping the field for us at all.
