Considering that Peters,Hali and Johnson are gone and Ford,KPass are still question marks, with Amerson and Fuller getting acclimated with Fuller being the only real starting CB with no hard hitting safety, with inconsistent d-line play; our defense is still very suspect and why a good punter helps because when our offense gets stopped it will now be between the 40's with Mahomes(where a finesse punt is needed more often) as opposed to being stopped more often than not inside our 40 with Smith at QB(where you need a booming punt).
With Mahomes now at QB with still a very suspect defense you need finesse punting more than ever pinning back the opposing offense giving your suspect defense more of a chance for a stop
and why Colquit got paid. Veatch recognizes his defense needs help in the field position game for sure.
