Scobee not one of kickers being worked out

#80

Quote:I'm not buying that its as big of a problem as everyone has been making it out to be.  But lets say it is.  Is that something that Scobee can't correct?  Foot placement?  So if it's not a physical problem, then its a sudden technical one that isn't correctable to the season before? Apparently he couldn't correct it. They didn't just cut him after the three blocked kicks. He was around for a while. 


 

I'm not buying that a career top 10 kicker is suddenly done at the age of 33.  Why not?  He's on the wrong side of thirty - just got a huge pay day and loves to play golf. Maybe he wasn't putting in the work as much anymore. 
What I am buying is that a younger, cheaper kicker had a hot streak in camp and Scobee suffered a quadriceps injury and was traded away.  Scobee struggled in a difficult stadium to kick while playing through a quad injury in a quad that he has already torn before and missed half a season.  Now that he's been released, 3 teams have reached out to him, but he wants to heal his leg first before he does any further damage to his career.  That is what I am buying.  < That makes sense too. 


 

Now it remains to be seen if the Jaguars would actually bring him back if healthy or they would refuse to admit the mistake.  I guess we'll never know... But I think Scobee would be more than willing to come back if given the opportunity.
 

I believe they saw his trajectory issues as a bigger problem than you did, and I just happened to "buy" it. You didn't. That's fine.
