Teams head of us on the wire: 

1. Jacksonville - Josh Lambo

2. NYJ - Matt Ammendola

3. Houston - Kaʻimi Fairbairn

4. Atlanta - Younghoe Koo

5. Cinci - Evan McPherson,  Austin Seibert

6. Philadelphia - Jake Elliott

7. Detroit - Randy Bullock, Zane Gonzalez

 

I don't see Jacksonville, Houston, Atlanta, or Philly being a real threat to grab a kicker on the waiver wire. Detroit probably won't either. So really there's only NYJ and Cinci to worry about.

Jacksonville might drop their kicker. Lambo struggled last night and they are no strangers cycling through kickers. They went through 6 last year alone.

the "sports psychologist" thing is available for all Panthers players btw. and Rhule has spoken about how Slye took it upon himself to pursue that sort of thing this offseason, even going beyond the resources available from the Panthers org. Joey took it very seriously and tried to sort himself out. it's just it hasn't shown up in results yet. and he's definitely running out of time. maybe he already has.

They went through 6 last year because Lambo was hurt and on IR.

Edit: but even if you're right, that's still only three teams to worry about instead of 7.

“That’s only some of the major news that’s come from Colts camp during the first week. And buried beneath the headlines is something that could have a major effect on the Colts’ prospects in 2021: A kicker battle is being waged. 

As of a week ago, incumbent kicker Rodrigo Blankenship and free agent import Eddy Piniero began their duel to win a spot on the Colts’ Week 1 roster. 

“Rod had a great year last year, but iron sharpens iron and Eddy is talented,” general manager Chris Ballard said recently. “Eddy Pineiro is very talented, so that will be fun to watch.””

You were saying?

are you fuging illiterate 

you claimed "Every other NFL team brings in competition for their kickers."

This is for one team. 1. 30 less than 31 needed for what you said to be true. 

shut the fug up

Just go through the team rosters and news.  You might come out surprised and educated. I’m not going to spoon feed you, you big baby.

Pineiro is awful. I want to move on from Slye, but I'd keep the bum we have over the bum we don't know if that's the best we can do.

Exactly what I was about to post, Slye is bad but damn this guy is not much better. He has no leg so his touchback percentage is really bad. This is a pass for me, I would rather trade for one.

Touchback percentage is extremely overrated 

I was thinking about this when it was being discussed during the game.

Having a touchback every time eliminates the possibility of the return team fumbling and giving up great field position and/or touchdown.

Reversely, it also gives the chance for the return team to do the same.

There is some crazy stat about the percentage of winning when a touchdown is scored on a special teams play, I forget what it is.

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
