Neither of our punters have any NFL experience. Tim Masthay was an All-SEC punter at Kentucky and spent time with Indianapolis last year during the preseason, but didn't get any game experience before being released. Chris Bryan is a 28-year-old rookie who is attempting to learn the American game after spending five seasons playing Australian Rules Football. Last years punter, Jeremy Kapinos, was just awful. He won the job over Derrick Frost who was signed to take Jon Ryan's job. Ted Thompson cut Jon Ryan following the 2008 Pre-season. After week 1 of the regular season Jon Ryan was claimed by Seattle where he broke the franchise record of 45.6 yards per punt, which was easily the leagues best. Then Ted Thompson went on to cut the great Derrick Frost on December 1st. Mike Mcarthy seems confident in Masthay and Bryan. He said, "There's definitely more talent with these two guys than there has been in the past, and that's definitely a big step in the right direction." I think he means three steps back one step forward. I was the punter on my 5th grade flag football team and after watching Kapinos stink it up last season I know I have more talent than that so I'm headed to Green Bay for a try out. Wish me luck guys!
