Lets be real Denver drafted Dixon and didnt want him, I thought he was just a patch because Wing was so terrible and would be replaced pronto.
But he is still here! Judge didnt grab a good punter in the 6th or find a free agent. Really sad to see Dixon is considered the man.
Free agency for punters is a year round process, but only if you need one.
Dixon has a good leg and I believe he can be at worst "average" and perhaps Top 10 should things fall right. He just isn't a Top 5 punter, IMHO, and as noted above you can't fix everything in one off-season.
We have 10 picks in next year's draft. I predict the Giants will win this division and a playoff game in 2021 as this team will gel late and be a force. If Chicago goes say pick 9th to 16th range, well, we are looking good for 2022 run.
It is clear they don't know what they are doing by still having Riley Dixon on the team.
Really? Really?
Pack it up and wait for 2022 boys. 2021 is a failure. /s
He is apparently a very good athlete capable of all sorts of fakes, but he is not good at his primary job responsibility and was a big reason why the punt coverage struggled last year.
Attaboy!

And if we drafted a punter you don't think there wouldn't have been 17 threads about how DG sucks because he drafted a punter and not [fill in the position]?
"What? DG didn't draft a RB?"
"No worries. We don't plan on running the ball this year."
That made me laugh. Nice.
How bout those Dolphins?

Good question. We'll see if you get an answer.
I bet Toney can punt--he seems to be able to do everything else.

I think everyone outside of dorgan and BB '56 is too young to remember that. Can't say that i really remember a punter before Dave Jennings.

I am guessing that the OP is too young to remember when our HB, Ernie Koy did the punting. He wasn't very good at punting, but he could sell a ruffing call (in those days, all were 15 yds ) pretty well.

That was the mid 1960's. I am sure others remember.
I love the likely response to your appropriate criticism more, which usually is, "But, it's not my job as a fan to know the solution"

that criticize a move or non-move yet offer no solution. Just kick that can down the street, right?

If you don't have or can't offer a solution then maybe there really isn't a problem. Better yet as a fan maybe you are not qualified to suggest it is a problem.

That's how I see it as well.

The difference, since it clearly flew right over your head, is that not punting all year means that your offense is so good that it scores on every drive.
And it was obviously a joke.

Totally agree.
Like today, it appears to be sunny here in Atlanta. But I turned on Channel 2 News and waited for the qualified weatherman to give his report before I jumped to any conclusions...

Stink fishpot!
Exactly- with Engram and Jones coughing them up we don't need a punter
