I know it’s hard to get excited about a punter in a preseason NFL game, but seriously, did you see how far Sav Rocca kicked that ball? And did you hear how hard Al Michaels worked to sap that moment of any ounce of excitement? Thank you, Mr. Monotone.
Officially, it’s a 59-yard punt, but from where Rocca was standing to where Willie Reid caught (and dropped) the ball, that thing flew a good 72 yards. The Eagles have a weapon here. If they cut him for Dirk Johnson, they deserve the crappy field position they get all season.

If only Reid had grounded the ball in the endzone, Roca might have gotten credit for a behind!

I just hope the Eagles cut him so the Skins can sign him. I would hate to have him play for a team I hate so very much. I can give or take Ben being with the Jets, but Sav can’t end up playing for the birds.
