One of the reason he has very few blocked punts is because he is a 2 step punter instead of the traditional 3 step punter. The Punt team also has a lot to do with protecting the punter during the punt so its not exactly “his” stat. Lastly, Mr. Gardocki has had punts blocked in his career, he has just been lucky enough to have them only partial blocked or have them still travel as far as the line of scrimmage. A blocked punt is only “blocked” if the ball stays behind the line of scrimmage. If I recall correctly he has had punts blocked, which were recovered by his kicking team and then carried beyond the line of scrimmage. ---

The first is Jamie Martin, who is a 13 year veteran that has only started 8 games in his entire career. I mean experience is usually the bench mark for a good back-up but time in the league doesnt always equate to experience. The other QB would be Jason Fife. He is a second year player out of, my favorite college program, Oregon. He has never started or played in a regular season game. His college career was above average but still nothing to write home about. I would have to say that out of all the situations to be in this is a favorable one for Tyler. He would be learning an offense that takes into account a shorter QB with an average arm. As long as his decision making can sharpen to a PRO level, I think he has an outstanding chance to make the team. Jimmy ---

from [saintsinsider.com](http://saintsinsider.com) Tyler Palko STRENGTHS Decision-making Field Vision Intangibles AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT Arm Strength Running Ability / Mobility Size A left-handed passer who’s been a true field general in college, Palko’s leadership and intangibles make him an asset as a clipboard holder. Pros: Productive, take-charge college quarterback with marginal upside for the next level. Patient, buys time for receivers and quickly gets the ball out of his hands. Displays a sense of timing and puts touch on throws when necessary. Surveys the defense and shows a good sense of knowing where his receivers are. Neg: Undersized, cannot withstand the rush and will force the ball into double coverage when pressured. Lacks arm strength and cannot drive the ball downfield or zip the outs. ---
