3 Kickers?

[weyco2000]

Someone remind me again why we have 3 kickers? Alright say we hold on to Kasay, a team playing this bad cant keep 3 kickers. Baker will have more punts blocked this year because he holds the ball to long and his kicks bounce back towards him and he doesnt have hangtime. Llyod kicked off twice Sunday and neither were close to a touchback. So we sign Dexter Jackson who could be a asset as a returner and gunner, put him on the practice squad and keep Rhys Llyod? He seems more worried about twitting than kicking. We have to have a kicker or a punter that can kickoff, theres no room on an NFL team for a kickoff specialist. Matt Bosher for the Miami Hurricanes looks like he can do all 3, but you have to keep at least 2 kickers in case of injury. So, do we keep Kasay, Baker and Llyod for the remainder of the year?

Our ST's have not been special in a number of years. I have wondered how in the world the ST's coach keeps his job. We can't cover KO's or punts, and we can't gain any decent yardage when we try to return KO's or punts. We fumble like crazy also.

I agree that Lloyd saved the ST's bacon last year with all the long KO's, but he is not getting it done this year. Next year, we need to get rid of him and Kasay and bring in a young guy that can handle KO's and FG's. We could use that extra roster spot for a playmaker of some kind.

i don't see why so many people have an issue with using one roster spot on an extra kicker, i can name plenty of useless players on the roster (starting with dwayne jarrett). rhys lloyd is doing ok, and one player, other than a QB or someone we couldn't afford to play, would have made no difference on sunday. Also Baker is playing better since his mistakes early in the season.

I think people are letting their disappointment in the team spread to parts of the team that really are not to fault. Kasay had a bad game, but he's had a bad game before (03 vs eagles i think he missed 5 field goals). why throw guys who are playing average/ having a single bad game under the bus when players like Chris Gamble, Jake Delhomme and Charles Godfrey are stinking up the field week in and week out.

For a team that's going through a "recession" I agree.

Time for players to re-earn their positions. Week 8 prep - football tryouts

[rayzor]

remind me what we would have on the roster instead of that?

i do agree that having 3 seems a bit crazy and i hope that the new administration next year will replace our three kickers with a more competent punter and a PK who can also do kickoffs.

[hank pimple butt]

hell we cant even score, so keeping Rhys is pointless!

[g5jamz]

remind me what we would have on the roster instead of that?

duh...obviously a QB that doesn't throw interceptions

i don't see why so many people have an issue with using one roster spot on an extra kicker, .

and I don't see why people find anything they can to get all hot and bothered about... another example, another waste of time... (directed to the OP)

[Brooklyn Bully]

We have three...right now...because Kasay couldn't even get the damn ball TO the 20. Lloyd may not do it every time, but at least he CAN do it.

[weyco2000]

Kasay can kick FG's of 50+ , so a kickoff of 65 would put us about where we are now. Llyod is making over $41,000 per touchback, talk about highway robbery! Now I agree last year he was a real factor, when we were scoring around 3 TD's per game. I also agree that Jarrett sucks also, nows the time to start weeding out the non-producers. Everyone on this team should be on notice, either produce or be released.

[Rypkord]

Useless now. This is something that needs to be decided in training camp not halfway through the season.

Really need to just let Kasay retire in the offseason and just get a kicker that can do both. Maybe fill it with some player that is just good at ST and maybe when the kicker does kick it to the 5 we might be able to stop him before the 30.

You hit the nail on the head!!!
