Steelers make offer to P Andy Lee

**BB2W** · 03-06-2007, 12:58 PM

The Steelers have signed free agent punter Andy Lee to an offer sheet, agent Eddie Edwards confirmed today.

Lee, who played collegiately at Pitt, was a sixth-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers in 2004. Last season he averaged 44.8 yards per punt (gross) to rank sixth in the NFC and seventh in the NFL.

Edwards said the 49ers have seven days to match the Steelers' offer. The Steelers will give San Francisco a sixth-round pick if the 49ers don't match their offer.

Andy Lee was a badass punter at Pitt. I just want Gardocki and his weak leg gone. I rather draft the punter that Ktrain wants. But I would take Lee over Gardocki.

Gardocki had to go! Who cares if he has never been blocked? I would rather have a guy who regularly booms his kicks 45-50 yards than Gardocki's weak-ass 35-40 yarders! Over the course of a season we were giving up hundreds of yards in field position with Gardocki kicking! Good riddance!

It's funny we get excited over during the off season

The punter is usually the last thing I worry about

i think he will do better in pittsburgh, he did good with the 9ers and had to punt a shitload, here he won't have to punt so much so his avg. will go up........and since he played for pitt, he knows how to kick in our stadium

Just as long as Gardocki is gone then I will be happy.
