Punting is not a sexy topic, but it's an important one in the NFL. The lack of production in that department has haunted the Cardinals for two years and highlights the biggest personnel mistake during Ken Whisenhunt's two-year tenure as head coach.
This week, the Cardinals released punter Dirk Johnson and signed Ben Graham, who was released earlier this year by the Jets and the Saints.
Graham is the fifth punter the team has utilized since training camp of 2007. That's when Whisenhunt decided to cut Scott Player just before the start of the season and go with Mike Barr, a rookie who had tried for a few years to catch on with a team.
Barr was a disaster as a punter and a holder for kicker Neil Rackers.
