Um, he DID have a cannon for a leg, I doubt people are overly depressed about this LOL, but he was a VERY good punter. Not to mention his ability to nail it in the endzone on kickoffs with ease.

Jones would have had to have been terrible, which he hasn't been. Graham hasn't been great on kickoffs, but he's not hurting the team on them either. We're kicking and punting situations are fine. Unless Hartmann can return kicks and punts he won't have a shot at being on this roster until next year.

I expected him back after his suspension. Marciano said he's the best KO man he's ever seen at the end of the preseason.

Meh. Who cares. Jones has been fine. Cut Hartmann.

Wasn't he one the preseason roster? I have no doubt he'd be our P in not for this ADHD situation. Regardless he won't be on our roster anytime soon.

An ACL tear is a major injury so I have my doubts he would have been 100 percent back to his old self so soon and been our punter to start the season. Jones would have been brought in anyway so the best man would have won the job. If I'm not mistaken Hartmann could have punted in the preseason some, but wasn't healthy enough to do so. The team made a decision and so far I'm satisfied with the results. He was decent last year, but he wasn't all world. I doubt he would have had any noticeable effect on the games if he was playing.

![]() I think we may have just seen the end of a good Punter tbh, Jones is ok but he isn't a revelation in the field position game, then again, we aren't going to be that reliant on field position given how dominant we look on both sides of the ball.

Regardless of whether we're reliant on it or not, field position wins games. It IS important. I'd be clamoring for him to be coming back ASAP but Jones has been pretty good so far.

You probably can't be cut while on suspension/injury so he'll probably just go IR the rest of the year...
