Latest on Bengals' Punter Competition Between Kevin Huber and Drue Chrisman
In this story:
CINCINNATI — The Bengals' punter battle is still undecided going into Saturday night's game against the Rams.
Kevin Huber is proven and is excelling as a directional punter, meanwhile Chrisman's leg strength is clearly better.
"I still got about five days. I think it's rounding into shape," special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons said. "I just gotta try to decide what we want and exactly what we're willing to stomach versus what we know."
Both guys have excelled holding for Evan McPherson in training camp and in both preseason games.
Will Chrisman show enough development and potential to convince the Bengals to release Huber?
"Right now Drue is a power punter and he's really getting the ball downfield for us. We need to continue to work on the line and accuracy that he takes," Simmons said. "I think it's a developable skill. Over time that can be developed."
The longtime special teams coordinator added that Huber's 13 seasons with the team will have "zero" impact on the decision.
"I have to do what's best for the team," Simmons said.
Both guys should get their chance to leave one last impression on the coaching staff during Thursday's practice and in Saturday's game against the Rams.
