We haven't punted much but he's near the bottom in the league in net yards and yet to pin the ball inside the 20. The punt return yardage allowed is among the league's worst too.

There are not many punters with more touchbacks than balls inside the 20 and he's one of them. In comparison, the Rams guy has 12 punts inside the 20 with no touchbacks. The Pats punter kicked six of seven punts inside the 20 last week too.
Exact opposite from last season

He's a good punter hopefully he's in a slump. Can't blame him for that return. That was poor tackling but his touchbacks are alarming
He

has not punted well. In addition to what you note, his punts seem to have little hang time.
Maybe kicker or someone more familiar with kicking style and mechanics

can say for sure, but it seems like his distance on his kicks is normal, only the hang time is very low, not allowing the coverage unit time to get down there and cover the kick.

if I knew better I'd say he's "out-kicking his coverage" literally.
Special Teams is off to a very up and down start

Missed EP
15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty that negated a blocked punt
Crowder breaks long punt return
Fake punt allowed

On the other hand we have a fumble recovery and a blocked FG for 6.

I'd like to see this even out as this is more bad than good early on.

Other than the blocked FG and score. The special teams have been awful.

a little all over the place, and the pressure has been getting there which has rushed his kicks a bit. I think he will be fine as long as our ST improves. They have been a little sloppy to start this year.

This. I notice the announcers saying it was a bad snap on a FG attempt but nice hold and kick.

that the big punt return was on a low punt with little hang time.
He has regressed significantly...  
Saos1n : 9/27/2016 1:00 pm : link
Very surprising
He had a couple of bad snaps to contend with in the punting game

I agree

DeOssie has not been up to his usual standards so far this year.
he was terrible last week  
area junc : 9/27/2016 1:17 pm : link
that's a very good point -- it was easy to overlook that fact with all the nonsense going on.

on the long PR he did exactly what weatherford always did to piss Quinn off - they had a directional punt to the left and he smashed it to the right sideline. Apple was heads up to be there but of course pulled him hamstring along the way
Not good.  
Dave in Hoboken : 9/27/2016 1:18 pm : link
Alot of the snaps haven't been good, either. Giants ST's at it's best.
Wings punt should NEVER be fielded

KICK THE DAMN BALL OUT OF BOUNDS DUMMY
Wing's reputation here on BBI has always exceeded his actual play.  
Tesla : 9/27/2016 4:58 pm : link
Not sure why, honestly....just a quirk of BBI. He was average last year and below average this year.
In fairness to Wing  
Josiah31 : 9/27/2016 6:14 pm : link
I've see a lot of bad snaps and him just barely get the ball off.

There were numerous missed tackles and Apple was right there, had hands on Crowley and whiffed.....So pooooof that theory goes up in smoke. Think Harriss had hands on him early too.
