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

Akers is gone. The new KO rule should allow Kasay to kick off. I would suggest, however, that we develop a K on the PS. Lloyd's leg is strong but considered inaccurate. You all should know that accuracy is kind of important.

I would believe that Rivera will take a long look at whomever can not only make FGs, but can get KOs into the endzone. Out of the two, I would think FGs is the more important factor, because even Kasay can now get his KOs near, or even into, the endzone. Not many teams with multiple kickers, I wonder why that is?

With that said, field position is extemely important. So having a strong leg in that area would seem to be a need. However, FGs are also very important, so having an accurate kicker would also seem to be a need. LLoyd is long, Kasay is accurate. Why can't we have one kicker that is both?

Just a thought, and GOOOO PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where did all this talk come from with Lloyd kicking field goals in the future? He is a called a kickoff specialist because that is all he does... kickoff. The only instance in which he might come in for a field goal would be for a 55+ yarder to win the game since Kasay's leg won't reach.

With the new kickoff rules in place, Rhys is a goner.

Kasay is money, most often than not. My vote goes toward letting him decide when it's time to retire. I don't think he would just stay around ineffectively if it was detrimental to the team.

Lloyd has seem to have lost some kicking power of late. He used to be a guaranteed touchback but not no more.

I wouldn't even consider giving him Kasay's job until he proves he can still hit the long ball.

Just my .02

      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.
