Lloyd's as FG Kicker

I was looking at the pics from the Observer and notice one picture with Baker holding and Lloyds kicking a field goal. The thought of him kicking FG's for us is very intriguing. We have John Kasay arguable one of the greatest kickers ever to play the game. But even John cannot kick forever. It would seem to me that Lloyd could learn from the master himself. Has anyone been watching this action? Does Lloyd have what it takes to be accurate like Kasay.

Sometimes instead of walking off the field outside of Kasay's range. Why not give Lloyd a chance to nail one from 55-65 yds. Granted we would have to prevent a run back if he missed. But I don't see thunderfoot leaving too many kicks inbound to play. Make sure time will expire during the kick so the opposing team cannot do a hail mary and reverse the strategy.

I think he has the foot to break the NFL record. With the Master teaching him.. WHY NOT?

i haven't seen it myself CBD, but a lot of the people doin camp updates have said that Lloyd has been kicking some FGs, and that he has been putting them right down the middle.

then he must have made some MAJOR adjustments since I watched him this past spring in OTA's...

I am one who saw him kick 10 in a row through the uprights from 45 or 50 yards with no problem on Friday. Obviously it isn't even close to seeing him kick in a game with the added pressure, but they definitely weren't knuckling and some would have been good from 60 yards. Now last year I would totally agree his field goal kicking was not good at all.

Seriously....Down by 2 at the end of the game. Within 60 -70 yds. Do you throw the Hail Mary? or Do you give Lloyd a chance to win it? The chances of it getting blocked are high as the trajectory would have to be a drive. But He has the power to it.

I would think this percentage is higher then throwing a Hail Mary.

Agreed?

      Edge Rushers

      By Basbear · Posted

      These last couple playoff/championship games for the edge class will mean millions. Someone will have a big game and become the favorite top edge. Everything is on the line for the edge group now.

      What Are Your Top Offseason Targets Now That Bryce Young Is Showing Promise?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Because he's not the best prospect in the draft, he's the best college player in the draft, and those are two entirely different things. Yes, if he focused on one side, his stats may have been better, but stats aren't what makes a player's prospects, it's their abilities and how they translate to the next level. I'm also not knocking him as a prospect, not like I'm saying he's a mid round pick, he's just probably the 2nd best CB and 3rd best WR, in what way is that throwing shade on him?  It's literally saying he's a Top 10 pick, just not THE top prospect at his position(s).  I really don't get why you think someone saying a player is the 2nd best player at one position and 2nd or 3rd best at another position is hating on them, it's crazy talk. Even in your defense of him here, you say a just asinine sentence, "he's the #1 rated prospect because he's actually elite at both positions" His ability at 2 positions has 0% bearing on his NFL prospects, as no team is going to use him full time both ways, he's either going to be a full time WR, or a mostly full time CB who gets 5 or so snaps a game on offense.   So him playing both positions shouldn't factor into any team's draft evaluation of him, if a team is taking him over Johnson because of the few snaps he'd play on offense, they're choosing a player for the wrong reason.  The only way I'm taking him over T-Mac is if it's a team that already has a true outside #1 and what they need is speed in the slot to compliment the outside guy (and btw, most teams don't have that, if anything, most would have the slot guy and need the true outside #1).
