What he lacks in some of McAfee's power and panache, he makes up for in accuracy. McAfee was a terrific punter (even if I find him obnoxious now), but he was more leg and athleticism than accuracy. It's kinda cool to have a punter who can dime a ball on the sidelines and prevent a return from ever happening.
Nice kickoffs yesterday, too.
