Namath told him, "Don't worry, coach, our offense will be so good that we won't have to punt" ...... just as Namath asserted, they didn't have to punt, and Beaver Falls High won the game going away.
And of course, there was the 2003 divisional playoff game in which NEITHER TEAM had to punt in the Colts' 38-31 victory over the Chiefs in Kansas City.
I'm not necessarily asserting that the Colts won't have to punt at all against the Raiders, but if the offense can play well enough to minimize the punting, then the loss of our long-snapper will be at least somewhat minimized.
