Yes! But i hope we draft a big 6'5 kicker with noodle legs in the 5th round again!

I hope we bring in the best college punter that doesn't get drafted (most don't) as a UDFA, and have that guy battle with Vogel for the starting spot.

I would think we would get a good shot to get the best punter since it would be a legit competition and he can most likely win it

He will get drafted in 2020. Hope we have enough picks!

I am not confident you will get much better numbers. 2017 numbers seemed meh.

I can't for the life of me think why a professional athlete hired to kick footballs would be unwilling or unable to also take a few place kicks. Am I missing some hidden nuance to kicking a football off a tee here? Serious question.

I don't - he was really struggling with his punts and needed to be replaced.

This. I just don't get it.TOO much kicking?Originally posted by Zealot:Originally posted by John_Candy:Can Vogel kickoff too?

Also it's weird to me when a kicker nails the kickoff through the uprights but misses a 40 yarder.

Originally posted by StOnEy333:I dont care if he can kick off or how he holds the ball for FGs. Can he punt the ball inside the 10 yard line like a punter is supposed to do? I was hoping we would sign a former rugby kicker to handle the punting duties. They seem to excel at dropping the ball inside the 10 with ease.
Only two touchbacks in a full season with 19 kicks down inside the 20.

The #49ers signed P Justin Vogel, who had a great rookie season with Packers in 2017. He had 44.4 gross and 41.6 net average. But he was replaced last year in place of a rookie and didn't catch on anywhere else.
Why though?
We need a punter - Pinion signed with another team.
he's saying "why was he replaced in Green Bay".

Packers drafted JK Scott in the 5th.

Finally. Way better than pinion and a pro bowl alternate. I'm so surprised he didn't get signed by 5-10 other teams bc he certainly did a lot better than at least half the punters in the nfl. NOICEEEEEE
