I agree..  but if they can play, they can play.  Pretty sure thats gonna be taken care of on final cuts.  I expect maybe 5 or less on the active 53.  Off the top of my head, Reddick is a baller no matter where he played, and I really like Sam Franklin's potential.  Other than that, most of his other college guys can gtfo.

I mostly agree, but in some cases I think the rapport with the coach can really lead to improved performance by a player.  We saw it with a few Rivera guys who he snagged from his prior teams (Tolbert comes to mind). Also, listening to Robby talk about how much he's feeling comfortable and at home in Charlotte, I think his connection with Rhule is a part of it. So, the Temple / Baylor guys might sometimes have a real reason why they might be great fits on the team

No. We traded perryman and our 7th for a 6th. We traded the 7th we got for little to get the kicker

So we exchanged little for *big*.

The ghost of Hurney rises again to put his thumb up your butt, just to let you know his presence remains.

That's not Hurney. That is your doctor checking your prostate.

It would be nice to maybe at some point try a kicker with actual NFL experience. Maybe in a few years we go down that road

Or punt/kick returner?

It really seems like if they put their focus into the weak spots then the strong spots would take care of itself.

I'm surprised at how many are dismissing him already.  

We better not be going with Sly

[BurnNChinn]

I’m not going to be surprised if we keep both kickers. That will be dumb but I see it happening 

[Moo Daeng]

Given the structure of the trade and the expanded PS with protections it's not really that stupid if they want to evaluate the situation more.

I would be surprised because this staff hasn't done anything that stupid yet. Well.....maybe the drafting a long snapper but I mean more so with the roster. 

Toting two place kickers is extremely stupid.

wonder if there is a stat that shows avg starting field position after kickoffs?  Would be interesting to see that.  Outcome of TBs vs those tempting fate 

That would be an interesting stat.  Shorter kickoffs do allow for runbacks, but they also many times cause holding or block in the back penalties, which set the receiving team back behind their 25.  Or muffs or forced fumbles.

I kinda wonder if JJ didn't say something that might have prevoked them in the off-season to pulling the trigger on the LS.  Like hedging their bets?  I'm like the rest of you on why they used a late pick on one, granted he was the best in the draft but still.
