With Cousins and the new offense, the Vikings will be doing very little punting if any, which is why Carlson should have been given the punting duties. It was the right move, just like it was the right move drafting Reiff over Kahil in the 1st round back in 2012.

It was the right move, just like it was the right move drafting Reiff over Kahil in the 1st round back in 2012.MN punted 4.3 times per game last season. Atl was the best with 3.6 2011 was last time a team was lower than 3 with an average of 2.9 punts per game.
At best MN might punt 8 fewer times this season.

I hope we don't have to be talking about kickers/punters during the season. They should go unnoticed if they're any good.
