Honestly, this guys job was to get touchbacks. If thats all your paid to do and can only do it maybe 50% of the time, you dont deserve that job or more importantly that roster spot.

He did his job well.But when your coverage sucks you can sometimes forget that..

Agree, was not impressed with his ability to boom kicks consistently.

It was still better than what Kasay would've done. Here's hoping we draft or sign someone else. I love Kasay for FGs but the dude's leg its showing its age.

Unless he can get a touchback 75% of the time or learn to kick field goals, he is a waste of a roster spot.

The only way that was going to happen was for him to kick it out of the end zone. Teams learned real quick to return all kicks no matter where they were caught at. The coverage team was so terrible Llyod had no chance to get touchbacks. I've never seen teams return balls kicked deep into the end zone compared to last year.

:iagree:

But, on the other hand, he used to be able to kick them out of the end zone for an automatic touchback.

Not so much lately..

Really if you ask me Jason Baker was not really worth the money last year ether. He cant be used on Kick off because of a weak leg and all he did last year was put balls in the end zone..... Now thats a wast of a spot.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
