Treehugger Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Time to start thinking Australian! Saverio Rocca... ...and his brother Anthony... ...are both talking NFL. Huge stars in the Australian Football League. I've seen Sav kick a goal from 70m out. Both stand at 6'5" and weigh in at 240 lbs. Both are superbly athletes, and would not only provide us with a booming kick, but an extra defender on punt returns. Both know how to deliver a crushing tackle.

Yeah, but can they pin opponents behind the 20? If so, what are you sit there telling us about it. Tell them there's a NY team waiting for them.

Iceman_NYG Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Punting the ball 70 yards down the field is completely different than being able to land the ball accurately inside the 10 yard line. If they can do that, bring them on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MontyPython Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Afraid they'll take your women too? different game with different results. has nothing to do with women. but your australian, so it makes sense you want to see some players make it in the NFL.

Treehugger Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 Saverio was on the news last night, filming an adition tape for NFL clubs. He was punting over 65 yards with just under 5 sec hang time. He admits his consistancy needs improvement, but so did Ben Graham's when he showed up over there.

If they can do that, bring them on! Not only can Ben Graham nail it inside the 20, but he puts a crazy spin that makes people muff the punt... which when Ben Graham becomes a free agent we should get him, cause the guy is unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I know punting involves technique. Though I played soccer all my life, I could nail a 50+ yard field goal consistantly... but can't get a damn punt past 20 yards if my life depended on it.

Virginia Giant Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Most AFL guys can do that, and bend the ball too. I can see it now, a new movie about a little girl who idolizes a Giants punter. "Bend it like.....Rocco"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.O.
