Lets be honest for a moment Swedenberg is a punter. Mullen wasn't really talking to him anyways. What can a hyped punter do? If he gets too hyped he'll outkick the coverage. Is he the punter that would shank the s***t out of a punt occasionally?

He didn't shank any more than any other good punter. He was near the top of the nation in net punting his junior year, and made the Ray Guy award watch list as a senior. He was pretty damn good.

You do understand that the 'pre-game speech' is to the WHOLE team, not just the kickers, right?

Yep, he's talking to the team. The kickers just happen to be there.
The kickers practice for 15 minutes then are done for the remainder of the practice. They have the easiest job on the team and better do their jobs well or they lose the little respect they have quickly. I will admit place kickers get more respect and attention than punters.

Cool, I don't remember punters.

You claim you played, right? It makes it hard to believe when you say shit like this.

Players don't respect punters/kickers except for the exceptional ones. They are not required to do the same as other players. Since you keep up with punters name our last 5 without googling. I'll make it easier for you. Name our last five starting quarterbacks. Name our last 5 starting tailbacks. Name our last 5 starting middle linebackers. Truth is even hardcore fans like you don't remember the name of punters initially. I'm not ashamed to say I could care less about a punter.

Is your stupidity an act or are you really this 17ing stupid?

Punters are kind of like Offensive Linemen, you only notice them when they screw up.

Ask your dad for not going to sleep the night of your conception.

It's not just a punter calling out Mullen and crew. Look around- everyone from players to media to staff members have had negative things to say. Mullen wasn't liked much. Nothing wrong with that.

Maybe I'm naive, but I have a very hard time believing that any players outside of flat out assholes or the low-IQ, athlete savant type can have that kind of nonchalant disrespect for a teammate, regardless of their role.

I could name our last five primary punters from memory, and I'm sure many others on here could as well, but I'm not interested in playing that game.

If you're practicing for 3 hours and meetings for an hour and a half and a certain group of teammates practice for 15 mins and meet for 10 mins they have earned very little respect. There aren't many punters/kickers that make themselves one of the guys by intrigrating themselves in that way. It's not disrespect if you're not putting forth the same effort. Football is all about togetherness through tough situations.
There is nothing tough or together about the average punter or kicker in a football locker room that only plays those positions. Believe what you want. If they are regarded so highly why do 95% of them have to walk on to make the team?

He wasn't paid to be liked he was paid to win football games(which he did for the most part). Obviously your team has to respect you but they certainly don't have to like you. That being said, I am pleased with JOMO so far and am still trying to figure out why every post discussing JOMO turns into a Mullen thread.

Eh practice may be different but from my understanding, kickers and punters go through the same off season/in season workouts and conditioning as the regular players.

Walk ons do the exact same annnndddd practice the entire time. I respect walkons wayyyy more than kickers.

NOPE, Kickers cost us HOW many games besides South Alabama in 2017? Maybe Mullet should have paid a little more attention to that group. Just saying.

We have what .. 3 or 4 kickers AND punters that are walk-ons. That has to mess with your brain.

Now that we have a 'real' ST Coach AND Coaches that want to be here, look for better ST play.

Not at all he's a kicker. Maybe they'll get involved more now and earn respect with a coach.
