Matt Darr starting punter

[CMvol]

How one good year can do wonders for anyone! I think the credit should also go to the coaching staff.

Darr named Dolphins' starting punter

:good!::good!:

 

[Kristy*]

Wow! I really am surprised. Good for him.

 

[CMcEver]

3 of the 32 starting punters this season are from Tennessee? Punter U? PU is a horrible acronym though.

 

[PACKERVOL]

Good for him! Everything came together for him last year.

 

[Bms4880]

Wow. It seems like two years ago he was on the depth chart as the backup holder. What an amazing turnaround. Kudos to Darr and the coaching staff.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

Everyone was dogging the kid at the beginning of last year. He really shined though.

As a dolphin fan he has HUGE shoes to full... Brandon fields is one of the top punters in the league...word down here is it was 100% contractual and they get 4 million in cap space with darr instead of fields... Happy that now makes 3 vols on the fins I believe

4: Ja'Wuan James, Dallas Thomas and Jacques McClendon are also on the team, all OL.

Bwahahahaha! After all the crap I've seen Matt take on this board, this is one of the most pleasant surprises in a long long time.

What a longshot! Nice job Matt, best of luck to you.

Tennessee = Punter U.

 

[VonVol]

Way to go, young man. That's great news for him.

 

[MT LeConte]

It took awhile but you made it. Congrats Matt.

This surprises me; my office manager's future son in law averaged 1.9 yds. more than Darr last year and he didn't get a job after trying out for TB, Arizona, and NO. He played for UAB.

Good for Matt! Way to go!

I supported him against all the naysayers on here in previous threads. I said that he had a very strong leg in high school and a lot of potential, but was having issues with his ball drop, and not getting the nose of the ball up in the air. It looks like someone fixed his mechanics.

I wish that I knew how to look up the threads so I could prove it. Way to go Darr.

Who was speaking poorly about Darr?

The general consensus I saw is people believe he was a rock solid punter for us last year.

How in the hell would a punter take up 14 million in cap space?

4* not 14...that was a typo sorry

 

[volfaninutah]

I think it is the senior year. Seniors are supposed to step it up for the team. I think he and Palardy both rose to the top their senior year... good for him.

You have to consider the "brilliance" of some of us VN armchair talent evaluators. We know a hell of a lot more than the dumbkoff coaches. :thud:

That a boy Matt. Always nice to see another Vol in the League.

Good for him.
