— The question everyone always wants answers for was asked to Keim — what are his feelings on the play of punter Drew Butler Sunday. Butler only had to punt three times and did have a 50-yarder, but averaged less than 40 yards a punt and less than 35 net. His final boot of 28 yards let the Redskins start an eventual field goal drive on the Cardinals’ side of the field.

“Not satisfied at all,” Keim said. “Like any other position there are expectations, and that spot right now, we’re not living up to expectations. It’s a results-based business and if you’re not getting the job done, we’ll look and see if there is somebody who can. That’s the tough part of it. You’re in some critical situations. It’s not like we have a backup punter that you can put in if someone is having a rough day. We’ll certainly talk about that today and see where it goes moving forward.”

Glad to see that those in a position of authority on the team are dissatisfied with 25 yards punts; not just me.

Ya Think, Keim.

You didn't replace him this year. You cut a better punter to bring him back. You sat on your butt while other teams signed better punters off the street. You refuse to fire Amos Jones.

blah, blah, blah. They could've replaced him last year. They had someone a little better, but cut him to bring Butler back? This is how they lose credibility (with players and fans).

Wonder if Keim and Arians didn't have some sort of agreement. IE, BA says, "Hey, Butler is hurt, he'll be fine once he's back healthy."

This could be Keim just trying to give his coach a chance so he doesn't undercut him. But better late than never.

I'm sorry but Keim should be unhappy with himself & kick himself in the balls for bringing him back. On top of that, his decision cost his team a draft pick :bang:

Meanwhile, BA is freaking out texting Keim; "ARE YOU CRAZY!!!" but it's too late, the damning evidence that Butler has on him is being uploaded to wikileaks as we speak!

wolf on the raidio this AM said butler was one of the nicest well liked guys in the clubhouse.

could explain their blind faith in him.

doesn't mean crap to me as a fan, i want his head. but it clears the mud a little.

I know Keim was being PC, but really, I think it's safe to assume there is someone better out there.

This to me is obvious, Keim is not football stupid but has held onto him due to Arian's insistence which is generated by some kind of illogical loyalty which does not win football games. I bet Keim has thought he sucked for some time and it's time to override keeping him
