Westoff must have scared the crap out of him. His average was at it's worst with the Jets. When he left the Jets and went to the Giants his average went up by @ 3-4 yds/punt.
Per Cimini, it wasnt only the money that caused the Giants to cut him. "he was shaky in the preseason and dealt with a back issue."
http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/10127/steve-weatherford Look at punting stats notably the IN20 stat for the '10 season...it was 1 away from the record..so im pretty sure that was his best year, far from his worst Edit: yes it is due to field position he was often in to kick from but the stat doesnt do justice without the other stat of touchback percentage which was only like 4%
Its usually because the field posistion battle gets easly overlooked..the way that our team is structured and has been structured, field positioning is vital
