Any word from spring practice on who is emerging as the starting kicker and punter for next season? How are they looking in practice? Special teams has been the least of our worries over the last few seasons with Jasper. Hope we can say the same for his replacement (and hope his replacement can tote the rock).

Germans, I'm sure.

Looks like Alleman will be the kicker and Wing will be the punter.

HOw is Mannon coming along-the one-armed kicker? Heard he was supposed to be pretty solid as a PK & as a KO specialist. I do have a "question" of his ability to play his position on KO's, after the kick. The kicker is usually the last defense on KO's if the return guy breaks through. I think it would be hard for him to make a one-armed tackle of a guy barreling down on him. Maybe he just puts em' all in the back of the endzone & you don't have to worry about that?
