New Punter From Down Under

If it worked once, maybe it can work again. Maybe that was the thinking at Chargers Park on Tuesday when they signed punter Mat McBriar. The 35-year old is a native of Australia, the same homeland of former Chargers punter Darren Bennett.

Bennett actually helped McBriar land a job punting at the University of Hawaii. There he went on to become a two-time All-Western Conference punter.

McBriar is a ten-year NFL veteran who kicked for six different teams. He replaces Mike Scifres who is recovering from surgery on the collarbone he broke Sunday night against the Patriots.
