Tennessee signs Punter.
Special teams are easily mocked. After all, if they were a seemingly legitimate part of football, why would you call them special? But there is a good benefit to winning the field position battle. And when you have a quarterback that makes Chris Simms look like Phil as your starting quarterback? Maybe managing have yourself a merry little punter is a good thing.
And that’s the big news out of Knoxville. Matt Darr, who I can only assume is the cousin of former Padre prospect Mike Darr, has been signed by the Volunteers. Darr is the #1 punter according to Scout.com and joins Michael Parlardy as the #1 kicker according to the same website. It may not be the most exciting news for the average SEC fan, to be sure. And only the most whimsical of rogues would deem this comedic.
But ask the average fan of Rocky Top if special teams is important? See the above picture. You’ll be reminded why special teams are special. And not in the mockery way.
