Well, I got tired of looking at all the other threads that have been going on lately.

So, lets talk about an integral special teamer with a contract up: Jason Kyle.

Even if we pay him the vet minimum, it'll count a good bit against the cap. Do you think we should resign him, or let him go? I mean, I sure someone else can take over the long snapper duties.

Every year some moron (not necessarily calling you a moron) makes a thread about us cutting Jason Kyle because some doofus once long snapped in pop warner.

He's been one of the most consistent, accurate and dependable long snappers in the business.

He is what can only be called a metronome. There shouldn't be any chance he goes ANYWHERE. You want to cut costs, restructure Lucas and cut Hacket.

I'm just saying his contract is up, he's 36, do you think he's worth the resign?

Oh, interesting fact: Ryan Pontbriand of the Cleveland Browns has the distinction of being the highest-drafted long snapper in the history of the NFL Draft. He was drafted in the fifth round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Browns.

Via Wikipedia.

I think that may be why the Browns have some problems.

750,000 grand isn't that bad for one player, if the team is willing to bring in a guy to do kickoffs so they can keep kasay, I don't think they are going to let an excellent long snapper go just to save a few hundred grand

I think its time to get Hangartner, Barnidge, or Kalil some time at long snapping since they actually play another position and don't take up a roster spot for someone else..say a 4th reciever or something like that.

Having a center playing long snapper is NEVER a good idea.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yep, the Panthers powers that be seem desperate to convince themselves he can clear the bare minimum bar of demanding a legit franchise QB contract. Canales seems to be laying the groundwork here of building the case that all of Bryce's shortcomings are still there and even more glaring than you may have thought while his strengths aren't nearly as strong as you had hoped and aren't near enough to make up for the lack of pure physical tools. When you have historically anomalous lack of measurables you need historically anomalous positive intangibles to make up for it. That was always issue with Bryce as a prospect. Like Parcells said when evaluating him, "he better walk on water".

      I'm honestly not sure how much "west coast" plays into it. There's a huge difference between Tucson, AZ and Spokane, WA where he spent the previous two decades of his career. Chapel Hill is significantly different than Spokane but way more similar to it than Tucson. You're talking about a pretty significant plane ride to get back home either way. He and his family would be flying private and direct so we're talking about a 3ish hour flight vs. a 5ish hour flight. That's basically a wash. It's not like he went from Gonzaga to another PNW program. Tucson is a dramatic departure from Washington state. Honestly a far bigger departure climatically and scenery wise than Chapel Hill would be.

      Goalie an Issue Again?

      By Stumpy · Posted

      When asked if he thought he was close to returning to game action, "When you skate just with the goalie coach, it's tough to understand what your level is. Today, Svech scored on me a couple — probably a bad moment for me. I don't know. I'm probably very far from play if he scores on me." God, I love Kucci!
