Training camp is finally here and FanHouse breaks down the most important position battles heading into the season, team by team
I know it sounds a bit dumb to say that a team's biggest position battle in training camp is at punter. But for the 2008 Washington Redskins, it is true. The team knows who is starting pretty much everywhere -- aside from one safety spot where it isn't as much of a competition as a platoon.
So kicker it is.
Derrick Frost has been the Skins' punter for the past three seasons. He's not a bad player ... but he hasn't been that good, either. Inconsistency isn't a good thing when punting is involved since field position is always an important part of the game. Frost finished in the bottom third in net average.
The Redskins, either really looking for a replacement or just trying to light a fire under Frost's keester, drafted Durant Brooks in the 6th round of this April's draft. Brooks, from Georgia Tech, holds many school and conference records and won the Ray Guy Award -- the award for college's best kicker. He's also outstanding at pinning the ball inside the opponent's red-zone.
The Redskins are a running team with a stout defense. They are also installing a new passing attack, a new defensive coordinator and are still working with a young quarterback. Having a kicker put you in bad positions can make a difference in a game.
Frost has been put on notice. Let the battle begin!
