MYTH - Brad Wing is having a bad year

ESPN
cfbstats,com
LSU
2011 44.4 yds/punt
2012 44.1 yds/punt
2011 11th in the nation
2012 15th in the nation
2011 Punts 59, Long 73, Touchback 5, Fair catch 15, Inside 20 27, 50+ 20
2012 Punts 41, Long 65, Touchback 7, Fair catch 11, Inside 20 13, 50+ 14
If you average out to 59 punts for this year:
2012 Punts 59, Long 65, Touchback 10, Fair catch 16, Inside 20 19, 50+ 20
You could say he's a notch off of an All-American year, but he is definitely not having a bad year.

I'd like to see his net avg.

The inside the 20 is where people are saying he's having a worse year, and it looks to still be true. They don't have a stat for Inside The 5, do they?

The inside the 20's were inside the 10 last year. Now not so much. Agreed that he's not having a bad year tho.

Do you remember Chad Kessler? His yards per punt one season made Brad Wing look like a middle school punter. He may hold the LSU single season average. Kessler kicked everything through the back of the end zone no matter where he was on the field. He had no directional punting at all. Last year Wing could boom the ball like Kessler if needed but his ability to directional punt made him even more special. Wing's directional punting has not been great this year. Wing is having no where the year he did last year and I bet he would admit that.

Wing's year last year nor this year can be judged on avg yds per punt.
Last year Wing in some games changed field position so dramatically it affected the momentum for LSU.
This year he just has not. Does not mean it's a bad year, but don't post numbers without context. Stats are meaningless.

I think it's do to the fact that last year he put like 10 punts inside the 2...

Doesn't matter what he does this year, he is still the only punter to have a TD called back for taunting.

FACT
last year he pinned the opponent inside the 10 and usually inside the 5 routinely and he hung it up high to give up no return yards
this year he punts it into the endzone, then the next time he overcompensates for that and punts it 25 yards to the 25 yard line, then he punts it 9 yards, then he gets mad because of the 9 yarder and punts a 60 yard line drive to boost his average and we give up a 70 yard return

Find a hang time stat, and that may tell the real story of this year (in addition to the inside the 20 column).

He does not seem to have the same ability he had last year in getting the ball to stop on a dime. We are not getting nearly the number of punts downed inside the 20 we did last year.

He just has a touch of the Justin Vincent Syndrome.
