Deserves his own thread....what a difference a great punter can make in flipping the field. How many times have teams started inside the 5 or 10?

NFL caliber.

And to boot, I'm really glad Townsend is a Gator. He's a crucial part of our nationally accredited Defense.

Having an offense that doesn't go 3 and out at their own 15 yard line has helped.

 

[Swamped Gator]

He is definitely helping our deficiencies on offense. He's been killing it this year.

Great punter. From Orlando Boone High School. Younger brother Tommy is a punter (not the starter yet) for Tennessee.

 

[NavetG8r]

Yep, deserves much acclaim. He's a field flipper!

... Nav ... by a field Flipper are you seeing him drafted by the Dolphins ?

That's a distinct possibility I suppose. Especially if they're looking for a new one.

hope his dad can flip the Grier suspension

If you're a punter it is better to be a flipper than a flopper.

I don't understand how we've had such good punters the last several years, but absolute crap kickers (other than Caleb Sturgis, who even had his own major struggles early in his career).

Pretty ridiculous when Chaz Henry made the most memorable game winning field goal in recent memory.

^ This!!!

Great Gator!

Other than Hardin we haven't gotten a top rated kicker in a long time. We're working on flipping one from Bama right now.

Isn't Townsend the kid mussy flipped from osu a couple years ago in response to Meyer grabbing or trying to grab one of our guys??? Seems like mussy was pissed and took native Floridian, Townsend from Meyer just because he could, as he wasn't even recruiting a punter in that class.

Can't remember who meyer was after but I'd say it worked out for us. Townsend has been a HUGE advantage for us. Probably more valuable than whatever WR or LB or whoever it was that Meyer wanted.

 

[ATXGator]

He has been great.
