I don't know enough about punters to know if there are any decent ones out there to sign until he gets better.

Same thought. We've had a good run between Hunter Smith, McAfee, and Sanchez. Never had to think much about it.

Almost certainly going to be a segment on his show tomorrow. Likely complete with a teaser of him coming back. But he's flying way too high with his current gig.

Come on! He would only have to punt once a week, plenty of time to do his show M-F.

While this does suck for Rigo, it is really not the end of the world for the Colts.

What is the talent level between, say, the #10 punter in the league (Rigo) and, say, the #34 punter in the league (whomever we are going to pick up)?

My guess is that there are at least 35-40 guys who are of NFL quality when it comes to punters on rosters or on speed dial. Sure, will they be as good? No, but will their performance have THAT much of an impact on overall team performance? I am skeptical that we will lose much performance.

Some, but not much.

I wish Rigo a swift recovery and hope he is the Colts punter for 2023 and beyond. But if we have to lose a starter to the NFL injury gods whim, this is probably the best one to lose.

He punts AND kicks off. He is top 5 in both. He is a weapon for field position. He holds for the kicker on FG and extra points. Ballard is going to be busy

As usual, good info ...... not necessarily the info that I wanted to hear, but nonetheless, good info.

Colts will be fine....wasn't Rigo a UDFA anyway?

As Ironhorse had pointed out, and the draft confirms, punters are replaceable (hardly anyone even bothers to draft one). We need one who can kick off. The biggest difference maker with punters isn't having a booming leg, it is being able to put the ball where you want it, inside the 20 yard line and out of bounds. I don't think that is so easy to find. Hopefully I am wrong.

You think there enough money to lure him from Maui?

I thought that Haack looked damn good on Saturday.

The Bills really fucked themselves in the punting department in the space of just a few days.
