Durant Brooks Beats Out Derrick Frost for Redskins Punting Job

In our Redskins training camp battle, we figured that the toughest fight was at punter. I know it's not very exciting -- but it is true.

The competition came down to the "nitty gritty", which neither punter as the clear favorite. Both performed well in the preseason ... which is what a coach wants to see.

Washington did make their decision, as they are keeping rookie Durant Brooks and cutting Derrick Frost.

The key is consistency. Frost hurt the Redskins at various times last year with gawd-awful kicks ... including a key punt late in the Redskins playoff loss to the Seahawks. Brooks (that smiling guy in the picture) is outstanding at directional kicking and may have put him over the hump.

That, or the fact that Redskins fans would be a little bent that the team would waste a sixth-round pick on a punter only to release him.
