Better to let a guy go a year early than a year late. Now they have their long term replacement. What can I say, the young kid with a powerful leg that's 20 years younger just went out and stole his job. Lechler didn't lose it (He had a 61 yard punt last night), the UDFA young buck just went out there and took it. Surprised the hell out of me and I'm sure it surprised the Texans too. Trevor Daniel punted so well they probably knew they had no shot at sneaking him on to the practice squad. Watching this UDFA punt though makes me scratch my head even harder about what the hell were the Jags thinking about drafting a freaking punter #70 ovrl (Very high 3rd round pick), especially given all their needs then? LOL, man Gene Smith was HORRRRIBLE! I miss that guy.  Oh well, back on topic.. Lechler will land on his feet, Houston just couldn't pass up possibly solidifying the position for the next decade with a great looking young talent. Lechler at the age 42 worked under a 1 year contract, every year. Good luck to him though/wish him the best and I thoroughly enjoyed his time here.. one of the greatest in NFL history. |
