...the 49ers’ decision to wave Slye in the middle of last week gave the second year head coach a window of opportunity to atone for his gaffe.

A former college star at Virginia Tech, Slye had spent time with both the Texans and 49ers as an injury replacement this year. In six games, he’s a clean 11-of-13 (84.6%) on field goal attempts, but just 9-for-12 (75%)  on extra-points.

In his last game for San Francisco in Week 8, he connected on 4-of-5 FG tries, while knocking down 1-of-2 point-afters.

The extra-point struggles are a little alarming, but Slye will offer much-needed stability at the kicker position. He has one of the biggest legs in the league, so Washington should have a chance to put points up on the board as soon as they cross an opponents’ 40-yard line. That’s the kind of value Slye brings.

Want another reason to feel good about the move? Slye kicked for Rivera in Carolina two seasons ago, so there’s familiarity there. That year, the former Hokie drilled nearly 80% of his FGs and over 88% of his extra-points.

As far as midseason acquisitions go, it’s tough to envision Rivera and Washington doing much better than Slye.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
