The Pittsburgh Steelers sign punter Paul Ernster

The Steelers have decided to sign Paul Ernster and they have released Mitch Berger to make room for him.  The 26-year old Ernster has played in 19 games in his NFL career and he has punted the ball 92 times for 3,772 yards (41.0 avg).  He has also placed 26 punts inside the opposing 20 yard line and he has 7 touchbacks in his career.  Berger punted the football 42 times for the Steelers this season for 1,760 yards (41.9 avg).  He placed 14 punts inside the opposing 20-yard line and he had 2 touchbacks.  The problem with Berger is that he was a tad gimpy with a hamstring issue and the Steelers couldn’t afford to keep him starting.
