need a Kicker?

[w280sax]

We need to give Slye a long term contract before we can cut him.  Thats how it works.

I don’t know who was on waiver wires/FA/trade earlier this year so forgive me for that, I don’t follow football that closely. But I’m sure there is someone who could have competed for the kicker spot and given Slye the competition he desperately needs. 

I do, and there wasn't.

The other guys who were available wouldn't have been any better than the guys we did bring in.

If they want a higher quality kicker, they're either going to have to hope for a surprise cut or part with a draft pick (the latter being more likely).

The Browns have released Cody Parkey from injured reserve. That will allow him to kick for another team once his quadriceps is healed.

Pretty sure Parkey is the guy who double doinked it a while back.

Don't understand what the Coach's fascination with Slye is.

Does he have compromising photos or something?

[BurnNChinn]

Omg we tried out a kicker named Dominik Eberle played for Utah State. Looks like Slye is keeping his job WTH?

By the way Scott Fitterer says he’s confident in Slye. Just wow!

Then what the hell are you posting scores of negative opinions for?

Maybe if you followed it more closely, (or just shut up about it), you;d get more respect.

You do realise how this works, right?

What's he meant to say? "Jesus, Joey Slye is dogshit. He's only here until we can get rid of him".

That's not how you build a team. We'll be scouring the NFL for a replacement - we just won't actively tell the media that we're doing so.

I’m not going to follow every player and every waiver wire event. Especially with this iteration of this team. But the fact still remains. There were plenty of kickers on the wire during FA that we could have picked up for a camp job. I mean, and I like Slye, but really? The dude shanks everything. You can’t win a superb owl with that. Give him a little competition, some kind of metric if you want to put it in analytic terms. Or else we will literally be sitting where we were in 2019, with him shanking everything.

Hell yes he should say that, he don’t like it bye!

Why the *** would we need a new kicker??? Slye was really good last season. Cause he had a bad preseason game lol.

Slye had 7 missed FG last season

2 were blocked

2 were from 65 and 67 yards away, impossible kicks nobody has ever made

1 vs KC was a 51 yard kick on a windy day day, Butker missed a fg on that same day.

 

The other two were legit misses.

 

Zero context in this thread

Translation: I’m confident that Joey will be released as soon as a suitable replacement is secured! Very confident
