Why Yankee punter? Just to push lirim or they not comfy with his punting?

You need a second punter even if it's just so you don't wear out your main guy in camp.

Yea good call... Especially as we have finally switched to a dual role kicker. Didn't think of that..

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see us bring in a young Canadian kicker as well. Thinking a free agent who we can send back to school unless he dazzles in camp.
