[OttoinGrotto]

I mean, he's a punter.

 

[FloridaFan]

Get paid big man. Join the punter alumni in the NFL

 

[illi3]

I mean, he's a punter.

Name a position that’s on the field more for Syracuse, though.

 

[All4SU]

I mean, he's a punter.

He was a weapon. It didn’t show because our O was so deficient. But he was solid.

 

[PhatOrange]

Was he a schalorship player?

 

[Cusefan69]

Guys like Cooney make special teams coaches look good. Yet another Cuse punter who could kick on Sundays. Good luck to him.

 

[CapitalO]

Name a position that’s on the field more for Syracuse, though.

The entire defense.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He was a weapon. It didn’t show because our O was so deficient. But he was solid.

Agreed he had a good year.

But if there's one position on the field to be weak at, it's punter.

 

[kcsu]

A good punter can be worth 50 to 100 yards a game.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

A good punter can be worth 50 to 100 yards a game.

Yeah I don't really care.

 

[upperdeck]

kick it 35 yds every time , dont drop snaps and thats all you ask for a punter. if you get more than that, sometimes its too much

more PT than Kadary...

Nah, we need a good punter to make up for our other deficiencies.

 

[SuFTW]

Need at least 40 yards.

 

[SuFTW]

His Cuse.com bio says he was out in scholarship this year.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Nah, we need a good punter to make up for our other deficiencies.

Nah we need to get better where we're deficient.

Punter solves the wrong problem.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Punter U. A dubious honor.

 

[Maxsumm]

Bring back Trevor to replace him

 

[FrancoPizza]

A good punter can be worth 50 to 100 yards a game.

Yeah it inflates the yardage totals for the other team because they have more field to work with.

 

[sutomcat]

Very good punter. Better person. Everything you want to see in a Syracuse athlete. He will be successful in whatever field he chooses to pursue. I wish him great success.

I believe he was also our holder for PATs and FGs and our kickoff guy. Did really well at all 3 things.

James will probably be asked to replace him in all 3 areas. They like to have the holder be a punter since the special teams guys practice on their own a lot.

I am sure there will be a couple of strong walk on punters competing for the job as well. Our track record here has to be attractive to top notch HS punters.

Thanks for all you have done for the SU football program Nolan (and for being willing to talk about getting cancer so young/serving as a role model for kids with cancer).

 

[orangenauburn]

I mean, he's a punter.

Yeah but he will probably catch onto a nfl team at some point next year, which will bring us to 3 active nfl punters

 

[donniesyracuse]

Babers has his excuses for next year. How many teams lost their special teams coordinator, a guy who may or may not have gotten playing time as a RB or WR, and a punter?

 

[721Comstock]

Don’t we have a “5*” punter/kicker waiting in the wings?

This guy

Cooney did an excellent job for us, but it’s not like we don’t have a replacement for him, who may be even better.
