Scwartz blames his punter for the loss vs CHI, who is the scapegoat this week if Carolina beats Detroit?

Not a scapegoat. If ur an nfl punter u should be able to directionally punt a ball out of bounds. Good cut.

They signed Australian punter Ben Graham to handle the punting chores this week. According to local radio, he was their first choice last week, but they couldn't sign him/get him to the U.S. in time for last week's game.

Serves them right for cutting Nick Harris.

Serves them right for cutting Nick Harris.

Nick Harris for Jacksonville: 42.4 AVG, 38.6 NETRyan Donahue for Detroit: 42.7 AVG, 35.6 NET (before his injury obviously)Not much difference... except for salary. Harris is 33 and was going to make 1.4 million. Donahue is 23 and I can't find a salary listed for him, so I'm going to assume he is making the league minimum.
