Tomlin didn’t say anything (at least that I heard). Not going to make this team, or any one, punting like that. Nizialek took the snap and duck-hooked the punt low down the left sideline, out of bounds. He’s not likely to beat out the vaunted Harvin, the 2021 seventh-round draft pick, but he’s competing. Whatever, Tomlin boomed it out, and Harvin responded with a Ray Guy-like rainmaker down the right side. Maybe the standard is 5.0, or maybe that’s the dream. He meant a 5.0-second hang time, which would be exemplary the average hang time for the league’s top 10 punters in 2021, per Pro Football Focus, was 4.27 seconds. “Let’s go!” Tomlin yelled with Harvin poised to boot.
In the middle of Saturday’s training-camp practice, his focus was incumbent punter Pressley Harvin III and Cameron Nizialek. When you ask those who’ve been around him for years, you always hear, Tomlin coaches the whole team. Mike Tomlin was back with the punters Saturday afternoon. I’ve revised the column with some thoughts on where this story stands as of 9:30 a.m. BULLETIN: The Deshaun Watson suspension will be for six games, per multiple media reports today.
