Coach Ski is about work and competition. Special teams were not ranked very well last year. Additionally, our punter, who might have best nickname of all punters in NFL- Scottish Hammer, he regressed in performance. And by his skiing in shorts, shows he's young and having fun.....not an issue unless he doesn't perform. Are we bringing in ANYBODY to compete with him....GO Browns!!!!

I think they'll probably bring in a camp leg to help out, but my guess is it's Gillan's job, barring some kind of injury. I do think we should bring in Chris Gardocki to coach the Hammer on flipping off the Steelers' bench.

I do think we should bring in Chris Gardocki to coach the Hammer on flipping off the Steelers' bench. That's my guess too. Someone will be brought in but it's the Hammer's job to lose. That being said, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never been all that impressed with Gillan's punt placement and accuracy; just his booming capability. Maybe it has improved from 2019 to 2020 and I didn't notice but if someone blows the team away in that regard and can get deep decently, who knows?

What does skiing have to with anything?
Punter is the second easiest position to replace on the team besides kicker. If Gillian stinks cut him and get someone new. If that person stinks do it again.

I agree, but I think it easier to replace a punter over a place kicker.

I prefer that the holder role go to the backup QB to keep the possibility of a fake FG in play. Plus, I think that a QB holder puts a hitch in the edge rusher's giddy-up.

I'll be curious to see how he performs this year. I believe he punted much of last year with a groin injury.

Hammer didn't hurt us last year that I can recall. I hope he spends his career here and gets in the HOF... mostly due to the nickname and his personality just fits this team.

Understandable but also unrealistic. Not one team uses their backup QB as the holder. QB reps are more valuable than special teams reps.

They have to drop kick. It’s a new rule this year.

In his bad year 22020 he is still better than most punters we have had. don't forget his placement holding the ball for the kicker is pretty darn good.
I'm sure we will bring in a camp leg to not have him over used and in a just in case situation regarding injury.
But the Hammer is entrenched here for a long time I'm sure we will get some big time kicks from him as his leg is stronger. I thought I read something that he had nagging little injuries last season.
Can't wait for some FOOTBALL!

To be fair, if the biggest worry we have is an "average" punter then we are sitting in a really good spot.

Still legal. We would have been better off doing that with Hue more than once.

Guess I missed him having nagging injuries. I looked at results and wasn't impressed compared to his first year. Coach Ski has a plan I'm sure. I don't want anyone complacent. Read we'll probably bring in a camp leg. Well, the Hammer was a camp leg two years ago. Hope he takes his job seriously. Bottom line- No one is irreplaceable. NFL- NOT FOR LONG sure can apply- where is Johnny "Money" Manziel- duh, who cares.....GO Browns!!!!

While there may be a competition for the punting job, I doubt that the extra leg will be nothing more than someone to kick to returners, so we can find the right person for that job.

Stretched out? Make sure they don't intend to use you as a tackling dummy!

I'm hoping by the year 2250-2300, we'll have a pulsating in size football that contracts to the size of a TP roll, and then expands to normal size, in succession like a heartbeat, to keep up with the robotics of subhuman anatomy, how that will affect punting I don't know.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Agree, punter "probably" is easier- there are so few jobs and lots of applicants. I hope our Cannon uses his brain cells and doesn't get hurt skiing in shorts- some people do that but not many...he's young and a free spirit...cool, but he's punting for our city and I want him available and more than adequate. As a poster stated I wonder if he's working at his craft enough- angled punts, etc. Don't want any FAT CATS....GO Browns!!!
