Malapropismic Depository Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Quick was clutch-big-time in the Seattle game, and one of the reasons we upset them. That's how I remember him. Although I still have a hard time seeing him make the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCnDaHouse Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Why sign a punter? Is there some issue with the current one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshSkinsFan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Camp fodder most likely but you need competition at the 90. Happy with Tress Way but competition never hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yeah, the punter is probably to save wear and tear on the leg during OTAs and training camp. As for Quick, it's a head scratcher. I would have liked to see him more utilized last year esp. given the woes we had at receiver. I wonder if looking back at the tape they felt there were opportunities missed. Seems a strange signing for both sides unless he's a special teams' stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshSkinsFan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I would imagine it is veteran minimum with maybe some incentives on top. They are going to need around a dozen receivers for camp and Quick is a guy who has had some success in the league and has been in the offense for 1 year already so won't need to learn the playbook. Certainly this will make it easier on our new QB having guys in camp familiar with what Jay is teaching. They also might have seen flashes on the tape as @Burgold says and honestly sometimes unlikely guys find they have great chemistry in camp and so it is worth seeing if he clicks with Alex early on.

Gotta have a backup if there's an injury in camp. Then we're not scampering for a replacement at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Maybe they brought in Hill because he's super special like that Hunter guy, and can not only punt, but also pass and receive, and score TD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about receive and score touchdowns, but I'm still convinced that Tress Way can be an emergency QB. He throws a mean spiral. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V29rVFasBww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
