Let's hope not. I don't want to see much from this guy in his 4 years on the hill

True. No offense to Townsend, but the less he's on the field the better.

What he does when he is on the field is how he will be remembered.

Palardy (minus last season)...

Least amount of punts for a 4 year starter, FTW.

He's a safety also in school. Maybe if someone gets free on one he'll take them out

So was Britton Colquitt

 

[volinexile17]

Darr was a LB I think.

 

[TriCitiesVol]

Per VQ, he had a pick 6 in defense. He also went 4 for 5 on Touchbacks.

It's hilarious that neither team moves on his kick offs. They know it's a touchback.

Just odd looking even on his punt and field goal the defense and offense didn't move.
Is this no touch football?
What is the deal on this odd approach to football?

I was saying the same thing. Its like some odd bizarro world.

I did notice that his kickoffs were from the 40 and not the 35. Obviously, this changes some of his kicks to the goal line to 5 yards deep. Will take the 5 yards deep all day.

One of the best kickers I've ever seen on kickoffs was Mike Nugent of Ohio State. When I was at NC State (grad school) in 2004, I saw him repeatedly kick it through the uprights on kickoffs from the 30....that was impressive.

It would seem to be a scrimmage. With no live special teams. The tackle one the XP never got set. Looks like they were just lining up, and making sure that people are out there and in position, still booming tho.

 

[ACvol3]

Surely he has more highlights than that...

He punts!

He punts!

He punts a long way. Every kick on his highlight tapes is a boomer! It's gonna be great to have him next year to help flip the field.

Townsend is one of the most talented punters in the 2015 class. He has a huge punting leg, regularly hitting hangtimes in the 5.2-to-5.3 second range. The ball simply explodes off of his foot. Accuracy is also a strength for Townsend; he can put the ball wherever it needs to go consistently.

5.2 seconds, wow we will be sitting down there having a gatorade with their returner by the time it lands

 

[Phat-Phil]

Very underrated commitment.

 

[Go Fight Win]

Overheard this one has "once every ten year talent" at punter from elder

Punters are weapons, I don't care what anybody says. A good one can be worth 20+ yards if he can keep it from rolling over the goal line or put the hang time on it that prevents the typical return. How many skill players on offense can you say this about..."THAT guy is worth 20+ yards on this drive"
