These quotes scare me

BV: You have two kickers right now. Guessing that's something else we should expect to change?

MH: "Well, that's a matter of having a solid veteran but also a promising young kicker. So we'll see how that goes."

BV: So you're just buying some time?

MH: "Not necessarily. It's a critical position. How many times does that position decide games for you? So when you have a talented young kid that has a bright future ahead of him – I think if it were any other spot, we wouldn't be talking about it. But it was the decision that we made to keep both of them right now."

BV: Webb outplayed Derek Anderson this preseason, so does this decision take more into account than just the preseason?

MH: "Again, any time you have a player that brings you what Joe Webb does, it's a very difficult decision. I think the fact that Derek has been here and started games in the past and won games, the decision was made he would be the backup."

 

Is he is justifying keeping 2 kickers on the roster into the regular season, and that DA quote.....

I mean...

 

It wouldn't be the first time we kept 2 kickers and a punter on the roster during Marty time. (Lloyd & Kasey) but I don't think that is what's going on. 

 

We obviously are holding out to trade one. He is trying to say the right things and make it not seem like it. I will be shocked if we are going into the first game with both kickers on the game day roster

Would we be the only team in the NFL to roster two kickers on a team?

Also, typical Hurney quote. Justifying keeping players for what they have done in the past (Anderson). Same typical Hurney.

 

In 2015 there was only one team with two kickers, so i imagine it's about the same now. Embarassing.

    • Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.
    • Down to Carolina and Washington for Ehlers. 
    • Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
