Sean_Taylor_hero Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 We released Justin Medlock? WOW WOW WOW I really do not like that move! The kid was phenomenal in Canada last year, and we really need some help kicking. Is Gano really that good? He seemed to struggle as well last year.

Jeff in D.C. Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I had actually never heard of Medlock before I heard he got released. Can someone give me some background on him? Gano seemed to have a really good leg the end of last year, we'll see how he does in the preseason but I think the job is his to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess you missed the thread about Gano kicking FG's for us with a broken foot aye? http://extremeskins.com/showthread.php?t=325209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfire Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Jeff in DC, your sig is too big. Go read the sig rules to get the size limit before a mod fixes it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin 21 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 How did Gano struggle last year? He made all his kicks except for 1 blocked extra point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 How did Gano struggle last year? He made all his kicks except for 1 blocked extra point... He didn't. This is just another case of someone's offsesason man crush being released, and the OP doesn't know how to handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvkeeper19 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Gano's got a cannon leg. Medlock doesn't, and the holder was also uncomfortable holding for a lefty kicker. Seems straightforward enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Unfortunate for Medlock, but I like Gano, so I'm not upset by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGutta Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Gano's got a cannon leg. Medlock doesn't, and the holder was also uncomfortable holding for a lefty kicker. Seems straightforward enough. That first part just isn't true. Medlock is known specifically for his cannon leg. He holds the UCLA record for FG's over 50 and he also had a number of them with the Argonauts. His only knock was his confidence, but I hadn't heard anything about him missing kicks in camp, so I think it's a dumb move to take out competition without justification. You may have a lead on Bidwell not wanting to hold lefty, and if that's the case, then so be it. The Lions claimed him less than 24 hours after we released him, so he's obviously a prospect worth considering... All that being said, Gano is an equally great prospect. He was awesome at FSU. I wanted to DRAFT him last year. I when the Ravens cut him. I was ecstatic when we signed him. I'm happy we finally have a kicker for the first time in a decade.
