Kicker yet?

Of all the things going on, we still haven't had an announcement of a kicker yet. Yesterday they said they had some coming in, but no names, no contracts.

Sheeesh.

Snag one off of a practice squad and go on. At this point, they're all middling to bad. Just need to be able to kick off and hit a 35 yarder.

It doesn’t matter. We’ll let Zylstra squib kick when it’s our turn to kickoff at the beginning of the half. Outside of that, we don’t need a kicker.

Latest word was that Gonzalez might actually be able to go (no tear, just a strain) so I suspect they're awaiting word on that front before going elsewhere.

Just my opinion, that would be idiotic. There are 3 games left, and if I saw correctly they're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.  Zane has been one of the few bright spots this year.

Instead of having him risk further injury, why not bring in a young guy or even a guy that you might want as camp fodder next year?

At least for this week, unless he's 100% healed.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
