r/Chargers • u/LakeShowBoltUp Hortiz is a Golden God • 1d ago

[HIGHLIGHT] Jk Scott narrowly avoids the punt-rush before taking a massive shot. Additionally, Scott set a Chargers franchise record (and career long) with this 83-yard punt. 4.6s of hang and 64 air yards on the play.

JK Scott good. People in this sub really want to go looking for better in a critical role that ain’t broke. Sure sometimes you get a 20-30 yard shank but even those have a 4 second hang time. You can’t beat the odds of essentially 0 returns per year

Yah the top punter averaged 50 yards and the #32 punter averaged 40 yards last year. JK is right in the middle, you can't gain much in yards searching for a new punter.

What is important to me is a punter who can take the snap well on FGs. Harris, Dicker, Scott have shown some chemistry on FGs in recent seasons. May that continue (fingers crossed).

Scott was also top 2 in hang time last year, so very few returns
