Storm Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I have to say I'm not really surprised...it was becoming increasingly clear that he doesn't possess the directional ability to cover for our shitty punt coverage. So, he endures the wrath. Seems like a good dude, though, it's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard, the Steelers have two Aussies duking it out for the final spot, so maybe we pick up whomever gets cut. Also, the NCAA has a ton of punters with cannon legs....alot of these guys are dual-purpose too, so you can pick up a punter plus a backup/distance kicker. Either way, we needed an upgrade. The Meadowlands should be a place where our punter has a home field advantage in the late Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't noticed the swirling winds of Fall in the new Giants Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 When Tom says he wants the ball to land in the corner, he means it. Good luck to our new punter Brad Wing, he is going to get a lot of work in this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Weatherford was pretty overrated the past few years. More into his stupid health magazine shit than doing what the team asked. Loved him in 2011, but that was a long-assed time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Total class act. Wasn't expecting that at all. Yeah dude, he's constantly posting high praise for Tommy C. on his facebook page. Which makes me think that Coughlin likely was part of a tough decision to let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Knowing Steve that is probably someone else's family and he's pranking us. Seriously, that's a tough situation, and what a classy way to leave. He really endeared himself to the fans, and really was more than a punter on this team, he was a football player. Great twitter follow, too, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Steve was as Coughlin put it, an exceptional human being. His social media posts were either about getting better, family, or New York Giants. There was nothing in between. A consummate Giant and probably the third best Giant punter after Landeta and Feagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
