I'm thinking that this will be the end of Rhys Lloyd again

We have way too much depth at numerous positions like: QB, RB, LB, DE, WR, and now TE... I dont think there's any way in hell that we retain this guy in the coming season.

Sure some guys will go, others will come... I just really liked him and thought it was dumb that we got rid if him when he signed with Minnesota during their "magical" run.

I'd be shocked if they got rid of Kasay to keep him. Ge has a hell of a leg, and I know that he kicks LONG field goals in pre game warm ups. Like I said though... Kasay still has some years in him.

I know this is a thread about a kicker... I get it, but field position is paramount in this game of inches... I'd like to see us keep him but I just dont think it'll be plausible this year. I sure as hell hope we keep 'em though!

Just a random thought... Take it or leave it.

i expect rivera will want to figure out the future of the kicking position on the team and will give lloyd ample opportunity to prove himself. if we have football this season i expect to see him out there trying for a 55+ yarder at some point to see if the practice-field rumors of him nailing 60-yarders are true...

It will be interesting to see what the new kickoff rule does to Rivera's thinking about needing a guy who can kick off and reach the endzone. Kasay could boot it to the 10 most times. So he should be a ble to reach the 5. If that is close enough, then there might not be a reason for a long kickoff specialist. Rhys could kick it out of the endzone most times though. It might still be worth it.

J. Kasay's a great guy and kicker but he's pretty old and not going to last forever. I think we need to keep his successor on the roster.

Given Lloyd has never kicked a field goal in a regular season game for us that I can remember, I wouldn't exactly think he is a shoo-in as his successor.

It will be interesting if they let Rhys kick field goals in pre-season... That would be the first clue that something is up...

Of course he'll only be kicking extra points when Cam is in.

Rhys should get plenty of field goal opportunities with Mike Goodson returning kicks to the opponents 40 yard line... Only so Jimmy can come in and go 3 and out! Yep, that's when he'll get his FG attempts...

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
