Keep or Cut: Sav Rocca

100% KEEP

We saw what a green punter could do in the Giants game. I know that it might not be the biggest deal in the world but still why risk it? Then agaon Sav had had some ehhhhh games

Keep him

With ackers most likely not returning to the eagles, sav should be kept to show henery how the eagles special teams work.

Henery's focusing only on 1 thing, that's kicking, Reids already said this.

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

He doesn’t get a whole lot distance, but does have the peculiar talent of killing his punts inside the 10. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him trotted out there in the pre-season to try this

henry can punt though

the only problem would be if he did and god forbid ever got hurt the team would regret letting sav go……. i like sav i think he is a good punter and he had gotten better with his inconsistancy

He's not that good of a punter, he's good when you get him in range of dropping it in the 10 yardline..

but we need a guy who can truly change the field position.

i didnt really watch him play much i just saw his stats for punting

by Mike GinZ on Jun 25, 2011 12:32 PM EDT up reply actions

He doesn't change the field position like you'd want from a punter, they used him more

to drop in inside the 10 than as a real punter..

Keep

Rocca’s not perfect, but I think he’s one of the league’s better punters, and age isn’t a big issue for kicking specialists. He wasn’t money every time, but you’re not likely to find a punter who is. He’s still very good, and the “competition” you’d be bringing in is probably a guy who’s every bit as inconsistent but without the massive leg power.

Using Alex Henery as a punter is a non-option from everything I’ve read. Could be a fear of relying too much on one guy to handle both roles, but I’m guessing he just isn’t that good of a punter.

Keep..

Rocca’s a good punter, a little inconsistent but he’s better than any other option out there.

Keep

but I’d like the Eagles continue to “challenge” him like they’ve done with Ken Parrish in the preseason/TC. I know it’s not much, but I still think it’s worth a try. I like Sav; he’s been a good holder + obviously he has decent punting skills. The only thing that seem to concern me is that his play always starts off great (in warm weather) and then declines as the season goes on (and it gets colder).

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

by PhiladelphiaEagles on Jun 23, 2011 12:59 PM EDT reply actions

There’s always an extra punter in camp, but these “challengers” like Parrish are not going to be a threat to Rocca. If they look at undrafted rookies they could always find a gem, but it would have to be a remarkably talented young guy (or a solid veteran, but they won’t get that) to unseat Rocca as the punter.

KEEP

Dont have much to say about this. He is a solid punter no reason to let him go.

This is a classic case of "well who you gonna replace him with?"

I vote keep, mostly because of lack of another option. I thought maybe when we brought Durant Brooks in or Ken Parrish maybe they’d win the job … and I wouldn’t be distraught if one did … but until then, gotta stay Savvy.
