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.

    • Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
    • Couldn't agree more, Kooch is erratic and Freddy is fragile, maybe save the remaining cap space for a goalie stud at the deadline
    • There is one play that sold me-- it was around 2:38, I think.  It was 4th and 1 and the QB telegraphed and threw the ball out wide to TMac.  He had no blocking (the TE was very late) and four defenders collapsed on TMac behind the LOS. They seemed to know it was coming.  He got hit behind the LOS and battled through several hits to get three yards.  THAT play showed me his fire.
