So you want to add an extra 15-20 yards to every kickoff return just to open a roster spot for a backup lineman that will never see the field.

Did you see the Chiefs' field position on our two kickoffs today? I don't think it could have been much worse with Baker doing the job and at least then we wouldn't have dead weight on the team.

Cut Lloyd and Kasay and find a new kicker that can do both. It really is that simple. Kasay just doesn't have it.

WTF is "it"?

When is the last time Kasay missed an easy kick before today?

When is the last time he shanked more than one in a game?

Our once great kicking team is horrendous. Jason Baker takes WAY too long to punt, and is inconsistant. Kasay is getting old and has missed 3 makeable field goals in a row. Lloyd can boom it, but not consistantly like last season. We may be looking at an overhaul on special teams in 2010. Coach included.

I'd love to get a young premiere kicker that can do both. Hell let's get an elite punter while we're at it. But until then Lloyd is well worth the roster spot. Again, you think a backup lineman that will never see the field gives us a better shot to win rather than an extra 15-20 yards every kickoff?

Chiefs? LOL Umm... ok, I can't trust your judgment if you can't even figure out what team we're playing. And you're also ignoring a full season where he broke a record for touchbacks, and being among the leaders in TB% this season and saying he should be cut based on a umm.. two kicks. Oh, and Baker and Kasay are both horrible at kicking off so yeah, it could be much worse.

Sorry I was in the middle of a conversation with my friend about the SD/KC game today and I guess it just slipped. He was great last season and I'm happy about it but his rate of touchbacks has been awful when we've really needed them. Baker's onside kicking is about equivalent to what Rhys has been doing most of the year.

Lloyd is #2 in the NFL in TB% and that's with teams returning kicks 5 yards deep because our STs coverage is terrible. You take him out of the equation and we go from having one of the best at kickoffs to one of the worst (either Kasay or Baker qualifies) and put more pressure on a coverage unit that's already dead last in the league. Good lord, who is so important that we need this roster spot for anyway?

Richardson needs to give kasay a nice little bonus for his time in carolina and in return he retires at the end of the season and we get a new kicker that can make field goals and kickoff decently.

Our whole special team needs an overhaul and that starts with the ST Coach.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
