Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Dear PB/HB/GOBR, Et al..., PT3

Special Teams, Punting We have some the best most consistent punting in the nation, although that rugby style punt can get Sporty. Punt coverage was sketchy at times. We gave up more yards than I would have liked. The Williamses were studs last year. M Williams was almost always the first one down and A Williams was a punt blocking Ma-cheen. I expect that incoming freshmen Davis and/or Barnett will also add some pressure. Shipley did well as the returner but I expect to see a different face on returns. Maybe Hales or A Williams or, he is still here, DJ Monroe. Kick Offs We had awesome kickers, I wish we could have gotten more touchbacks, but that is asking alot. Again we gave up alot of yards in coverage at crucial moments. (Tech) But it improved at the end of the season. Same deal with the returners. FGs Again 2 great kickers. I think there was a low in kicking in the middle of the season but was overall consistent. I expect consistency this year. We could always use more blocks.

I wish..

..we would be smarter w/ the punting. When it’s likely to end up as a touchback, why not put John Gold in there? He seems to have better control of the ball than just letting it bounce into the endzone EVERY time.

strongly agree

 Tucker was money with his rugby style punt but I don’t think it should be used if we’re past midfield. I do like it quite a bit when punting from our own territory though – hell through the first 2.5 quarters of the tech game he was probably the teams MVP
