We have discussed the possible future competition at Kicke in another thread.. Some other points of Note from Blackburn's Presser:

- David Moore and CJ Saunders are top returners right now. Shi Smith has been hurt so has not had as many reps (especially at PR). Trenton Cannon has took reps as KR. DJ Moore and CMC both still taking reps as returners

- Joe Charlton really improving as a holder. Blackburn hinted at some troubles there for him last year that could have impacted Joey Slye's performance

- JJ versus T-Fletch. Both are playing well. The competition is real. T-Fletch is as good as JJ at snapping but has some setbacks learning protections. It seems about neck and neck now as Fletcher is improving with protection.

I feel like we’ll put Fletcher on the practice squad this year and let JJ ride into the sunset after the season.  I remember seeing somewhere that he wasn’t sure if he wanted to come back, but ended up signing the 1 year deal.  
 

I’m hoping Shi Smith can be our return guy.  Sucks he’s been hurt, he has a lot of potential.

Apparently Chubba got some reps here too.

It's hard to imagine using a PS spot for a snapper, (and there's always a risk of a "Butker part 2" - though presumably demand for snappers isn't as high as for kickers) - but in this instance, I'd agree it might be a good option.  Let Fletcher learn from JJ for a season and let JJ play out his contract.  

I also hope Shi can be our returner. He seems like he could be a weapon for us, something we haven't really had consistently in the return game for awhile.

I really doubt he makes it through wavers.

The Butker horse has been beat to death. He missed 6 xps last season. He is not some great all pro kicker. Is he better than Slye, sure, but its not the end of the world. Let it go.

Epic waste of a 7th round pick. 

 

Lol

6th. If you are going to draft a long snapper and not use him, try to stash him, and lose him then it is a waste.

Drafting a LS at all is questionable. But certainly if the above happens

LOL

      When you look closely at the play it was careless from Melo but bang bang full speed I don’t think it was intentional or dirty or deserving of a foul. Bam’s off balance momentum was already carrying him towards a fall and even if Melo didn’t touch him it may have had the exact same outcome. And honestly I think he did try to sell it more when he felt LaMelo’s hand. Dudes arms flopped back instead of bracing for the fall. Sucks he got hurt but a suspension would be ridiculous and an awful look for the league. Fine and move on

      Sure but it literally would be benching him lol, and it would kill his confidence. He’ll get back in a rhythm, kid just had an all time great rookie season and led the league in 3s, you gotta stick with him as starter. But yeah I’m all for getting some more lineups throughout the game with Coby and Melo   and yeah Miles’ block and Coby and others jumping him in celebration was fuging epic

      I would’ve used the timeout on that inbounds before the turnover and Melo’s late foul but yeah otherwise I can’t blame Lee, the players just didn’t execute as well as they should have, but obviously did enough to get it done
