Lechler: I think the yards per return does reflect, in part, how long his punts are. Punter A gets 40 yds/punt. Punter B gets 45 yds/punt. If Punter A's team gives up 7 YPR and Punter B's team gives up 10 YPR, the A's look like they have better special teams even though the B's tackled their man two yards further down the field (35 to 33).
Bulloch: I'm fine with giving him an extra year. He had the yips early and I think he had a disadvantage by having so few easy FG attempts those first few games. A lot of very good field goal kickers sucked with their first club and only found success with another team that was willing to be patient.
Martin: He seems to put up respectable numbers even though I am never impressed. He has neither top flight speed nor elusiveness. I want to see someone who can either outrun his opponents if given a seam or has enough wiggle to make guys miss in the open field. I hope O'Brien finds a better fit.
