Browns Punter Competition Continues
Saturday, August 29th, 2009
New Browns coach Eric Mangini says his punter competition is far from over. But veteran Dave Zastudil and newcomer Jakub Krzynowek are ready to strut their stuff again in the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans. “What I want to see is toughness from these two. I want to see them kick the sh*t out of the ball tonight,” Mangini said. “Lord knows they are going to have plenty of opportunities.” Last week, Krzynowek outplayed Zastudil, but both looked far from improving on last year’s 4-12 mark. Krzynowek, the fan favorite, is a former soccer star in his native Poland. His boyish good looks and goofy accent are a particular hit with female fans. Zastudil, the incumbent punter, has less of a huddle presence but has a particularly strong ankle. Although the regular season is just two weeks away, Mangini has set no timetable for his decision.
