Panthers cut kicker Santoso

My position is the same as the day we brought in Santoso.  

either get a legit leg and if one isn’t available…..bring in some young rookie to gamble on.   No point bringing in dysfunctional kickers that have already proven they aren’t actually good enough.    We aren’t in win now mode.  Might as well actually be trying out guys with potential to be actual answers

Gonzalez has made a decent percentage of his 50+ yard attempts.

We do have a kicker on the practice squad, Dominik Eberle.  Based on the article linked, he looks to have a leg similar to Slye.  Keeping him on the PS while grabbing another kicker tells me they like him, just don’t fully trust him yet….

“Kicking for the Utah State Aggies since 2016, the Nuremberg, Germany native has broken and still holds numerous school and conference records including most individual career points scored at USUand most field goals made in Mountain West history with 64, ahead of Utah’s Louie Sakoda. He was a finalist for the Lou Groza award in 2017 and a semi-finalist in 2018.

The 6’2″, 190 pound Eberle also became just the sixth player in NCAA history to kick three 50-plus yard field goals in a game, a feat he easily accomplished against New Mexico State in 2018.

You might say he has a leg.”

He has a worse overall % than Syle…and spent all last season choking on kicks in the 4th q.  

I’d rather have a rookie.  A rookie kicker would deserve blind optimism.  This is just a bad overall kicker.    Rhule should of just kept Syle.

    • Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.
    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
