Washington looking to upgrade punting game
The Redskins wanted to upgrade their punting situation. So they took the first step toward doing so Thursday, releasing Ryan Plackemeier.
But that still doesn’t leave them with a legitimate option. The lone punter on the roster is Zac Atterberry, who spent last season on Chicago’s practice squad and kicked collegiately at Lindenwood, an NAIA school. The Redskins signed him last month.

However, as one Redskins source said a few weeks ago, there aren’t many good punters on the street. It’s a bad market for those searching for a punter.
Plackemeier replaced failed draft pick Durant Brooks and fared just about as well. Plackemeier averaged 41.7 yards per punt with a 33.9 net average.
