I know he looks like a LBer, and I thought we may see some fake punts with him. But, looking at his Cinn. Bearcat stats, he only rushed one (1) time. And, for those of us who got spoiled by Bosher, he also only had one (1) tackle all season.
On the positive side, he only had 1 kick blocked, while averaging 41.8 yards. He should certainly put a lot of grass between our opponents and the goal line.
If Goudis gets injured, he is a very capable backup on KOs, averaging 63.4 yards on 75 kicks (36 for TBs.), and zero (0) outta bounds.
Should be a big help, but I would love to see the big guy tote the rock on a few fake punts, and maybe help with a few tackles.

He will prove to be a valuable addition to the team even though punters are overlooked. Flipping the field is huge. Also, I'm having trouble reading your font.
 
2 things we know about our new punter: the guy can really boot it, and he won't be lacking for female companionship during his short tenure as a Cane.
 
Didn't Golden say O'Donnell is doing punts and KOs anyway. Goudis is only doing FGs and PATs.

I'm kind of hoping our punter/kickers don't have to make any tackles. I'd rather see a lot of punts that prompt a fair catch than TD saving tackles by our punter. A high % of KO in the endzone would be great too.

I think we have the right guy. This was a great pickup.

Much rather see the KOs go to the 5 yd line since the rule change. With Golden coaching STs I think we'll have outstanding coverage unit. Lotta big, fast young guys there.
 
Kickoff coverage is the thing I like the most about Golden's teams. Love watching Clements, Fentress, Crawford, Cornelius and the rest of these guys fly down there and hit the returner inside the 20.

Would rather he didn't have to make any tackles because our upmen did it for him. Bosher had to make a ton of tackles because our coverage teams were a ******* mess.
