Meindel is 10x the punter and athlete. Who starts? I have no idea.

If I remember right, Meindel was up there statistically as one of the top 2 or 3 punters for a while in 2016.

I hope our Special Teams can actually be Special this year.  Literally the most nervous time of the game for me is 1. When we punt the ball  2.  When we receive the punt

Me too, it's like a turnover with a blocked punt or fumble when we receive the ball with a punt is such a huge turnover?

Use to get excited back in the day when Dressler was playing and we were about to receive the punt......hoped for a big play or even a score.  Now I just pray they fair catch the ball without fumbling, and that they catch the ball before it hits the ground and bounces backwards another 20 yards.   I am maybe being a bit hard on the return unit, but honestly I called it a win last year if we just fair caught the ball before it hit the ground.

This is an exciting topic to follow. Utah is currently going for 4th straight Ray Guy award, so we have sayings like "Punters are people too".  Hopefully, we won't have to punt much this year, but when we do its something we do well.
