I can punt better than Turk did

This. It can always get worse.

How many games did that guy single-"footedly" cost us? SMH

I remember a Giants/Bears playoff game a good 20 years ago where a punter completely whiffed on a punt. Anybody remember who that was?

At least 2. IIRC against Carolina and Cincinnati where he got booed off the field after a 20 yard punt.

Are we bringing in Scobee to compete lol

I love that the gold standard for keeping our punter is there was a guy who wiffed 20 years ago and it could always be Turk.

I'm fine with bringing in competition at ALL positions. But its slim pickings in the middle of the season. A change isn't likely to come until next year at the earliest. We just need to make sure the guy they bring is IS the guy and not another Turk or Meyers.

Pardon me? Where in the hell did I say anything about Anger?

Yeah, I wasn't proposing cutting Anger middle of season, but eventually, all the Gene Smith trash needs to be taken out and Lewis and Anger can be the next guys put on the curb.

I don't sense a move to replace Myers just yet. I feel like they want to give Myers every chance to improve and be the guy, but just in case he doesn't they have to know who's out there and what their options are. You can't worry about what Myers might think if they're trying out other kickers. If anything, he should use it as motivation.

What has exactly done to prove that he is the guy? He was inaccurate in college and (so far) has been inaccurate as a pro, it'd be different if the kid had a good track record that indicates he'll turn it around but he doesn't.

I'm kidding. But really, Myers has been so bad that I just don't see him making it to the Jets game.

Did he take responsibility for running Slowby 4 times.
10-27-2015, 02:54 PM
They need to find a consistent kicker as well as a consistent red zone offense.

That's was the beginning of the end for us.

Quote:Lee is looking very bad. I think it's best to send him to IR because he is Walters has been playing great as well as our Allens. Let Lee it out the rest of the year and the offseason and put the end to his hamstring problems. If he rests it for months on end he should be healthy to play next year.
They will need to make some decisions. Greene will be eligible to come back in a couple of weeks (Titans game I think?) and basically take Sterling's spot. If Lee, for whatever reason is able to come back, whose spot does he replace? Certainly not Walters, who IMO has proven his worth as a reliable slot and ST player. Which means that we'll have to decide in other positions. And with all the injuries at other spots, we may not be able to afford cutting numbers there either.
