What was the explanation for punting on the Jets 33 yard line?

Well, the real problem….is Rhule going into the season with a guy that had shown for a half decade he wasn’t a NFL FG kicker.   Just a very bad kickoff specialist. 

hard to champion Rhule for a problem of his own creation.  

I agree with that... "It could be worse" isn't much of an endorsement heh

I suspect we will see a fake kick/punt in the next two weeks tbh. He called what 6 or 7 last season? This may just be him getting it on film that we would punt.

I think it was just a gamble he chose to try that had minimal to no impact on the outcome of the game.  

Rhules a gambler, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.  This is a nothing burger.

That he certainly is and In the moment he probably wasn't thinking about it that way but I'd be surprised if wasnt now.

I’m pretty sure Matt Rhule and company simply went into the season with a guy they didn’t and had no reason to trust…..so they punted.  
 

I like a good football conspiracy theory.  But even I’m not buying it was all to set up a fake punt from the 33 later.

Fake fg maybe, I'm just saying I bet we see a fake kick in the next few weeks.

Slye had the upside of a massive leg, Santos was maxed out in the 40 yard range.

I doubt that.  He made a 52 yarder in preseason.

I do think he had issues with kicking a little low.  And maybe we should have cut him, but I am not sure the guy we are picking up is an improvement.

He barely made a 52 yarder and it was a bounce in, I'm betting in practice that was the maximum extent of his range. For all his shortfalls and inaccuracies Slyle had the leg to hit from 70.

Not sure about the new guy or Santos, quite possible we were better off with Slye.

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
