Kasay's not going anywhere as long as he wants to be here and JR is still the owner. With that said, if this guy is as good a punter as some are saying, then bring him in as Baker's replacement, not Kasay's. He could also do KO's until Kasay decides to hang it up, then take over FT kicker duties at that point. That way, we free up one roster spot (Lloyd), and have Kasay's replacement already on the roster when he does decide to retire.

The only question is what round do we spend a pick on a him, and what round would he go if we do not take him? While I can see his value, we have other needs. And if there is no FA prior to the draft (which seems likely), we will need to use our picks to fill definite needs since we won't know for certain who we will or can get in FA.

Stupid idea to have one player fill both roles of kicker and punter.

Atlanta tried this a few years ago with that kid named Koehner or something like that I think. Didn't work.

#1 problem with it is that the opposing team can take out one guy early in the game and ruin you. Don't even think for a minute that another team wouldn't do it in a heartbeat, especially if it was a play-off game or a win and your in type game.

I'm all for drafting the kid in the later rounds if he is there but to think that he could save us some roster spots because he can do everything is stupid.

Koenen didn't lose his PK duties cause he got hurt. He got benched cause he sucked at it. Not sure how that helps your argument.

      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

      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.
