Robert Aguayo might be a bust before he even plays an NFL game.

When it's "officially a thing." It's a thing. 

The mental aspect of the game may just be paramount to a kicker, and Agauyo can't seem to get out of his own head.  Sorry, but I can't help but snicker. That's why you never draft a kicker before day three, if at all.

That's why I made the topic.  This poo is crazy.

I remember that Janikowski had a awful rookie season with something like a 62% FG completion rate.... he turned out to be a good player for the Raiders for nearly 2 decades now. Give the kid a breather

69 percent, plus the Raiders picked him in the first round.  They weren't letting him go.

as long as he sucks for the bucs he can go whereever he wants and succeed for a decade or two after that

There are better kickers who have come out of college since Janikowski (and it doesn't matter how accurate he was in college). What in the world?

Furthermore, it's not really about labeling him anything at this point. If you can't find the humor in our division foe drafting a kicker in round 2 who is not only missing kicks in preseason games, but practice, then I guess you're just a stick in the mud.  Me, I find it amusing.

The very fact that you have had better kickers than Janikowski just buttresses my position, that you shouldn't draft a kicker until day three (if at all).

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
