I'm thinking that this will be the end of Rhys Lloyd again

[TruCatzFan]

We have way too much depth at numerous positions like: QB, RB, LB, DE, WR, and now TE... I dont think there's any way in hell that we retain this guy in the coming season.

Sure some guys will go, others will come... I just really liked him and thought it was dumb that we got rid if him when he signed with Minnesota during their "magical" run.

I'd be shocked if they got rid of Kasay to keep him. Ge has a hell of a leg, and I know that he kicks LONG field goals in pre game warm ups. Like I said though... Kasay still has some years in him.

I know this is a thread about a kicker... I get it, but field position is paramount in this game of inches... I'd like to see us keep him but I just dont think it'll be plausible this year. I sure as hell hope we keep 'em though!

Just a random thought... Take it or leave it.

Rhys seems like a good kicker to replace Kasay and again I don't think he was ever given a chance by Fox to start.

i expect rivera will want to figure out the future of the kicking position on the team and will give lloyd ample opportunity to prove himself. if we have football this season i expect to see him out there trying for a 55+ yarder at some point to see if the practice-field rumors of him nailing 60-yarders are true...

I saw him nail one from somewhere around half field before the Broncos game in '08. But then again, it wasn't in a game situation and it was from the practice kicking holdy thing.

It's called a Tee bro... damn!

[4Corners]

There was not a more pissed off person in the NFL when they passed that new kickoff rule.

One of these guys.

Not one of these guys.

They're both called tees regardless, so I'll just crawl back into my hole.

[Brokenbad]

We could always cut one of those guys that we have too much depth at their position....

It will be interesting to see what the new kickoff rule does to Rivera's thinking about needing a guy who can kick off and reach the endzone. Kasay could boot it to the 10 most times. So he should be a ble to reach the 5. If that is close enough, then there might not be a reason for a long kickoff specialist. Rhys could kick it out of the endzone most times though. It might still be worth it.

J. Kasay's a great guy and kicker but he's pretty old and not going to last forever. I think we need to keep his successor on the roster.

[rayzor]

we don't need to use 2 roster spots for something 1 guy can do.

i don't care if it's making kasay the KO guy or canning both lloyd and kasay, but it needs to be done. we need that roster spot.

Given Lloyd has never kicked a field goal in a regular season game for us that I can remember, I wouldn't exactly think he is a shoo-in as his successor.

[TruCatzFan]

It will be interesting if they let Rhys kick field goals in pre-season... That would be the first clue that something is up...

Of course he'll only be kicking extra points when Cam is in.

Rhys should get plenty of field goal opportunities with Mike Goodson returning kicks to the opponents 40 yard line... Only so Jimmy can come in and go 3 and out! Yep, that's when he'll get his FG attempts...

The real question is why did Philly take Henerey in the 4th when they already got Akers?
