So Santoso is a downgrade from Slye?

He has never made a FG and has a 52% TB rate on kickoffs. 

Joey Syle is a meh FG kicker with a 90% TB rate on kickoffs. 

Hard to call him an upgrade.  I mean he could be in the FG department.  Nothing really there to make the case yet though.

I see, I don't know anything about him. I know we've given Sly time to improve. At least we're doing more than looking...

I don't know why anyone would have a problem with this trade.  It's a low risk move (conditional pick) for a young kicker with high potential.

I don't have a problem with it, just don't expect it to solve our kicking position.

If our coverage is good, nowadays it can be better to not be kicking TBs. Can often get the returner down before the 25. But of course a risk of them housing one. I trust our coverage under Blackburn so not necessarily concerned about the TB rate if we do wind up going with this guy as our kicker.

To be fair, with new rules a lot of kickers strategize higher kicks to the 1 where the team can trap the returners inside the 10

Not much tape out there but he's got 5 second punt hang time, I think he's got the leg for touch backs if that's what the coaches ask for

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

It sure does feel good to finally have a GM who sees a weakness, like we do, and he goes out and gets a guy to fix it or just gets rid of the weakness for value.

It is so refreshing to have a guy who, when national reports come out about a player being available that could improve our team, we know will have us in the mix for him.  I dont think we've ever been one of those teams.  Our previous GMs were so incestuous/neptotistic they rarely ever looked for outside help and it feels ike even if they did, players felt we were such a poorly run organization it would hardly ever pan out.

Fit is different.  Tepper needs to slide his brass balls statue over to Fit's office.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.
