Baker Swendenburg is the best punter in the nation...

[DAWG61]

get this, after 11 games Baker has punted the ball 46 times. Of those 46 on only 11 occasions has the opponent tried to attempt a return for a TOTAL of -1 yards. I repeat, for the YEAR Swedenburg has given up -1 yards on returns. That is unbelievable.

I think McShank achieved a similar stat line, but only because the ball kept going out of 5 yds past the line of scrimmage.

And I don't think he's ever had one blocked. He's one of our best assets.

Remember Walker a few years ago? He was a great kicker for a while, but then suffered a series of blocked kicks, primarily because of his slow, 2-step kicking style.

You just jinxed him. Bears run one back for a TD.

 

[Dawg1976]

You just jinxed him. Bears run one back for a TD.

And have a blocked punt for a TD. But we still win.

We have an excellent special teams coach.

Is he on the Ray Guy watch list?

 

[InaccuratePredictionsDawg]

Nope. Not on the Ray Guy list...

...at least as of Nov. 9th he's not on the list.

What a sham. He should be.

 

[FlabLoser]

Fitting that Swede is not flashy enough to be on a list named for a person who wasn't flashy enough to make the NFL hall of fame despite being the best and most revolutionary player at his position.

 

[Where'sWaldo]

To be honest I don't believe the stat where they have tried to return the ball 11 times. I think it's more like once or twice.
