Rhys Lloyd to Giants or Vikings?

[slumdogmillionaire]

The Giants will host free agent K Rhys Lloyd on Monday.

The Vikings are also interested. Purely a kickoff specialist -- and a very good one -- Lloyd would fall in line behind Lawrence Tynes in New York.

I didn't realize he may not be back on the team. So what is it going to be:

1) Kasay handles kickoffs

2) We sign another kickoff specialist

3) Kasay gets cut and we sign a kicker who does both (Darin Gantt keeps hinting at this)

or

4) Baker handles kickoffs

5) Baker gets cut and we sign a punter who does both

Really no one has a clue about this, but I'd take either #4 or if he cant do that then #5.

everyone knows we're drafting a kicker with our 2nd round pick.

Baker is solid. If we cut him I will really question allot of the decisions the FO is making.

Who's Kasey?

[Dpantherman]

Id love to bring in a kicker who at least pretends to make an effort to tackle

If it comes down to Kasay or Baker, bye bye Baker. Baker may be soild, but we can get another one that does kickoffs. Kasay is still a great kicker.

Kasay gets cut. They are either giving him time to retire on his own......or just waiting b/c they didn't want to hit the fanbase w/ both him and Jake so close together.

Carolina proved the past 2 years that Kasay alone wasn't good enough in their eyes. If they had ANY intention of keeping him this year Lloyd would have been kept. Lloyd is the best specialist right now...and they aren't going to bring in a lesser version just to let Kasay kick one more year.

Kasay can't kickoff anymore. Period. If they want to keep him on for FGs, then they have to figure out how to deal with that, but his leg is old and we can't gamble on him getting us touchbacks.

I'm not that old or anything, but do you really lose all that strength especially when you aren't on the field every single play?

I'm just talking history. We brought in Rhys for a reason...Kasay wasn't getting it into the endzone anymore. There can only be one reason, his leg is not what it once was.

But dude is money on FGs. It'll be an interesting off-season for sure.

I agree.

4, our special teams blow cock for another year:party:

While I guess it's possible Kasay is let go/retires, I think it is more likely they want to bring in a young guy they are more comfortable with kicking FG's than Lloyd, and develop him to be Kasay's replacement in a year or two.
