The Next Punter the Steelers Will Face is Mitch Berger


Yeppir, the Denver Broncos have cut their punter, Brett Kern, and signed Mitch Booming Berger to the roster.  The Broncos are the Steelers next opponent.  Josh McDaniel has transformed the likes of him Kyle Orton and Ryan McBean, but my guess is he'll walk on water before he turns Berger into Ray Guy.  It will be fun having him punt to us Monday Night, November 9.  Imagine having Brett Kern as your punter?

may add 10% or so to his punts, so that’s what, about 2 extra yds?

When you factor in the 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage....

it comes out to about 3.5 yards.

The question here is...

How freaking bad is Bret Kern? To get beat out by Mitch Berger, jeez. I feel bad for the guy.

Congrats to Berger though, for finding work at least. He won a ring with us, so there is a soft spot in my heart for him. Now, if he can hit his own guys with a few short punts and we reap the benefits, I might actually like liking him the little bit I do.

I just saw a post over there about Berger's addition

They seem excited about it. I guess they did not watch many Steelers games last year.

They might have

prior to yesterday’s game. But I went over and read some of their in game commentary yesterday and most were longing for the return of Kern. Too funny.

Heads Up!

Sure hope some of the Steeler vets on the punt coverage unit are warning the rookies to look out for one of Mitch’s shanked 25 yard punts. We don’t want to get hit and give up the ball.
On a side note, thanks for the memories Mitch! You did an admirable job kicking at 40 years of age with 2 pulled hammy’s. We couldn’t have won a Lombardi with Paul Ernster. Good luck on Monday. Hope you get lots of work.

you beat me to it on hoping we don’t get caught by the famed berger trick punt

They must want an experienced holder

Wasn’t that why we never went away from Mitch?

congrats to berger

but here’s to hoping he does worse for them than he ever did for us

by t1mmy10 on Oct 26, 2009 7:06 PM EDT reply actions  

yeah he beats the hell out of paul ernster

Same old Berger

Berger had eight punts against the Ravens. He averaged a whopping 38.4 yards a kick, dropping one inside the 20. Still very glad they signed him.

Steelers stop the run, Orton is forced to carry the offense and Pittsburgh wins the battle of field position because Berger is punting.
