at the very least, you bring in competition for looksees during the week.  in Ted I trust but this is a tad bit embarrassing.  I'm not seeing the diamond in the rough, I do see chum tho.  Peter Mortell hit the ball better, and appeared to have skills to develop.  don't make it a pride thing Ted. correct the mistake.

When it's AJ Hawk or Te' Adams, we need to trust the Brass at 1265 because they are smarter than the fans and if there was a better option, cough Abby cough, they would deploy it. 

Explain the difference to me when it comes to the punter?

One. Job.

It ain't blocking. It ain't reading coverage. Formations. Scheme. Personnel. Backfield. Secondary. Down. Distance. Time left. Time to go. Substitutions. Reads. Routes. Checks. Audibles. Blitz. 

One. Job.

Adams is inconsistent, but he's very physically gifted, he's shown flashes of starter ability, and he was a high draft pick. Schum is consistently bad, has never shown an ounce ability and was a street FA. It's not unrealistic to think Adams could turn the corner if he got his head straight. Hawk was the opposite of Adams in that his head was 100% on straight, but couldn't keep up physically.

Theres not one person on this board who has argued Abby SHOULDN'T be on the field more by the way. No one is on the other side of that debate.

Watching NYG get to start their drives from the 50 yard line after Schumm does his thing oughta tell TT that his punter isn't doing his thing very well. Was Mortell or Masthay that bad?  I was never really fond of Masthay's shanks, but Mortell wasn't really given a chance before he and Masthay were released to make way for Schumm. 

I can't conceive of any argument where the punter is NOT the least important position on a football team. Schum's ability to ably hold for Crosby (so far)  is reason enough to keep him.

He's what, maybe a yard or two short of the league average for net on his punts? He's not a tactical weapon but if you're depending on your punter, you're not a very good team.

As long as he doesn't fumble or get blocked ANY punter is good enough.

Schmuck is 31st in the NFL for avg. yards / punt and 22nd for net yards. He isn't good. The only thing holding his net at 22nd is that GB has only given up 36 total punt return yards after 4 games. 

The flip side here is when you barely scratch out 40 yard punts there won't be many opportunities for a returner to do much with it. So there's that.
