Gruden is such a phony. All he does is say "I like this guy cause he's a football player, and I love football." It adds nothing to the game. Mike Mayock on Thursday Night Football is pretty good for analysis, he's annoying sometimes but he seems passionate and tries to do a good job. Collinworth is also pretty good. On the other hand, Dierdorf is atrocious

Saw that tweet earlier. Quite remarkable.

What you don't see in that stat is this:

Seahawks are 31st in the league in net yards per punt.

 

 

It's because Jon Ryan puts ridiculous hang time on his punts.

The Seahawks basically punt short a lot, because the offense is good enough to get to around midfield on most drives, so the punts tend to be shorter. On top of this, the Seahawks appear to have decided that they're willing to spot the returner about 5 yards on the gross from a long hang time, in order to prevent the high variance from a punt return. With a defense as good as the Seahawks have, the extra 5 yards to start with, doesn't help much, but there's not much the defense can do against a long punt return.
