Mystifying, but perhaps Fassel appreciates his trick play capacities over his pure punting skills.

Jones has been pretty good in that regard over the course of his career.

And as I recall, Fassel does have a tendency to take some shots.

People keep saying "he was hurt last year". What was Jones' excuse for being terrible in 2018 as well?
He wasn't. 44.5 avg 39.6 was pretty decent, much better than 2019. I'm sure Fassel sees a guy that he can use on fake punts with his speed.

ST stunk across the board last year. Our kicker was the worst problem. We seem to have gotten one, then signed another one that I am not familiar with. But Jones maybe ok. I don’t think the ST practices much last year. Maybe or hopefully it changes this year. Jones better be punting every day.,

We should still bring in like 3 other punters and the best man wins. I mean all punters and kickers do in practice is stretch and kick lol. Let them have a kick off. Test hang time, ball handling, distance and etc. Get some analytics on them lol
JUST DO IT.

That 39.6 net average was 22rd out of 31 punters on the season who had more than 25 punts.

He had 17 punts landed inside the 20. That ranked him 28th out of 30 punters who had more than 25 punts on the season.

His percentage of punts to land inside the 20 was 24th out of 30 punters who had more than 25 punts on the season.

In any stat that directly correlates to punters, he was in the bottom tier of the league. He was horrid.

The question is why didn't they shelve him with the sports hernia?

At the very least bring in some competition.
We always have two punters in camp
The question is will they be competition or camp fodder
I’d bring competition
He was injured last year so maybe they think he rebounds
To me I always look for upgrades or cheaper option with same production

Teams returned punts for 154 yards against Jones last season. That was the 4th lowest in the league.
