I don’t know who was on waiver wires/FA/trade earlier this year so forgive me for that, I don’t follow football that closely. But I’m sure there is someone who could have competed for the kicker spot and given Slye the competition he desperately needs. 

I do, and there wasn't.

The other guys who were available wouldn't have been any better than the guys we did bring in.

If they want a higher quality kicker, they're either going to have to hope for a surprise cut or part with a draft pick (the latter being more likely).

By the way Scott Fitterer says he’s confident in Slye. Just wow!

You do realise how this works, right?

What's he meant to say? "Jesus, Joey Slye is dogshit. He's only here until we can get rid of him".

That's not how you build a team. We'll be scouring the NFL for a replacement - we just won't actively tell the media that we're doing so.

Then what the hell are you posting scores of negative opinions for?

Maybe if you followed it more closely, (or just shut up about it), you;d get more respect.

I’m not going to follow every player and every waiver wire event. Especially with this iteration of this team. But the fact still remains. There were plenty of kickers on the wire during FA that we could have picked up for a camp job. I mean, and I like Slye, but really? The dude shanks everything. You can’t win a superb owl with that. Give him a little competition, some kind of metric if you want to put it in analytic terms. Or else we will literally be sitting where we were in 2019, with him shanking everything.

Hell yes he should say that, he don’t like it bye!

Why the *** would we need a new kicker??? Slye was really good last season. Cause he had a bad preseason game lol.

Slye had 7 missed FG last season

2 were blocked

2 were from 65 and 67 yards away, impossible kicks nobody has ever made

1 vs KC was a 51 yard kick on a windy day day, Butker missed a fg on that same day.

 

The other two were legit misses.

 

Zero context in this thread

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying

      All that being the case or maybe being the case, we do not know Wharton’s timetable n the first place. They are being coy about it. Or maybe not. They say week to week the board says he is terminal lol and must be replaced. Who knows? It may or may not warrant a fairly drastic solution.  Walker is a bargain and we are not well stocked at OL despite recent investments. Freeling has yet to have a single padded practice. Too much speculation driving this plan IMO.

      I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
