Because there can never be too many threads about how horrible this guy is.

I saw the Observer gave the special teams unit a B for the game because we pooch kicked it to Harvin. Yippee.

If Rhys Lloyd can no longer kick it into the endzone, what purpose does he serve? Kasay can pooch kick the ball (in our out of bounds) can't he? Hell, he can get it to the 10 at least, which is all Lloyd has been doing. Total waste of a roster spot for a kicker who can't do the one job he's on the team to do.

Also lost in last night's win was another horrific job by both the punt and kickoff teams, as well as Cap'n and Cap'n's kick coverage team. At this point, not losing yardage or muffing a punt on a return means we're doing something extraordinary. There is NEVER a chance of us breaking a punt or kick for a TD.

And the penalties...

How does this guy still have a job?

I don't think that kick was on purpose... looked like he flubbed it to me and we got lucky that it stayed in bounds... his other kickoffs looked pretty good. KO and PR coverage looked better last night (for the most part) than it has all season, with the exception of that one where Baker had to knock the guy out.

But yeah, I still think Crossman sucks, one decent game doesn't change that.

There were several pooch kicks, and they were all intentional.

OK, I only saw that one... I have no idea, just didn't look intentional to me...

Crossman and at least One of our kickers need to go.

Kinda ridiculous were practically wasting roster spots because they're to chicken poo to cut ties.

I'm torn on this... Kasay is still money inside 40 yards, so it's hard to get rid of that, especially when you look around the league at so many kickers that are NOT making field goals, but it does suck that he can't kickoff... they need to find a punter that can kickoff...

I agree with Sultan though time for Kasay to hang it up.

it is pretty hard to find good kickers but he isn't getting the job done anymore. I feel bad about him leaving but you have to make a business decision and pull the plug. If Fox is still here he is staying unless he retires though. Loyalty first remember?

As opposed to what? Having a thrid string player who wont play? What wrong with having both on there?

you would rather have a guy kicking off that is obviously not getting as many touchbacks opposed to a guy that can possibly stop a return man from getting to the endzone? or a guy that can give us some depth A La hollis thomas or a james anderson type?

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      This is a toughie because I wonder what a guy like Canales thinks about redemption stories for addiction issues. Also, I think this is a case of 1 player getting caught, and not being naive enough to think this isn't more common in college than we think. I'd toss a 3rd rounder out there. 2026 is essentially a redshirt season regardless, so he's not taking over for any NFL QB next year. Best case, he's ready to go in 2027 if we pass on Bryce's extension. Worst case, he's our future backup QB2. Kid has the tools to be an NFL QB. I do think we could somehow land a '26 3rd round pick back in a trade. Our past years' third rounders are: Brazzell Princely Wallace DJ Johnson Matt Corral All this to say, I could see a team like the Jets going w/ a 2nd. They have three FRPs next year.
