justice98 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I hope Way's got the field goal holding thing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I hope Way's got the field goal holding thing down. IF and I say IF he is the punter opening day, he can handle it. He did the holding for Hocker or Forbath yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 well, the announcers have mentioned him playing there numerous times Saying he COULD or he HAS? And was it Joey T? Whom we all love, and I love even more after this preseason and seeing/hearing how others do their coverage... but he did say John Beck was the next Drew Brees. Bottom line, if Golston is play NT, we are in deep ****. I don't hate players cause they are good. Webb (CB cut by Cowboys) signed by Steelers. Ouch, they must be hurting at CB to pick up a Cowboys castoff. A few of us were high on him two years ago during the draft. No doubt he was misused, but he's also a project. But BW Webb and Tomlin have an alma mater and a position in common, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Tanard Jackson went right onto reserve suspended. Why doesn't it work the same for Meriweather? Because he is suspended for two weeks. If he were to go on now we would have him back in time for game 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC9 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 In other roster related news... I say damn... Aldon Smith is down for 9 games! They couldn't make that 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallen5862 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Wasn't Barth the one who nailed multiple 50+ yarders in TB's near-win against us in 2012? Anyone know what he did or didn't do to get cut? He is from my Home Town. He was injured last season but has fully recovered. He also was playing last night against the Redskins. He is healthy now and worth picking up. He was beaten out by a younger cheaper player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo'sRangers Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 In other roster related news... I say damn... Aldon Smith is down for 9 games! They couldn't make that 12? Of course not you know the drill. I'm still amazed we got the Fecals with the Lane Johnson suspension. For whatever reason, we seem to come out on the "wrong" end of these disciplinary measures. It's cool though; if you are good it does not matter anyway. I actually have always prefered playing teams at full strength. THAT is what sport is about.

I hadn't thought of that as a complication until justice98 brought it up, but it's a great concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jones Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I see they are waiting until tomorrow to decide our kicker. I called the punter yesterday at the conclusion of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veretax Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The only name I recall was Ryan Grant for the packers a few years ago... was cut or waived by the giants... but I don't remember if that was before the season started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANONYMOUS SOURCE. Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Be sweet if you could save a roster spot because your kicker could handle FG'S , punts, and kickoffs. Kinda like a SuperKicker lol. Different disciplines I guess, but I always wondered why one guy couldn't do all three well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilandil Tasardur Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I like the idea of a superkicker but like you said probably different disciplines involved. HTTR! A lot of guys can do both; in fact, most of them do in college. I was buddies with my college's kicker and he was usually also the punter. The reason pro teams don't do this is two fold: 1) There used to be more of an emphasis on coffin corner punting, so teams liked having a specialized punter. Nowadays teams hardly do that all, preferring instead to boot it out of the end zone. 2) You're really screwed if your one guy goes down. If you have a kicker and a punter, and one goes down, the other can usually fill in. But if you have a super kicker and he pulls a hammy on the opening kick off then you're sending Ethan Albright in for every extra point, field goal, kickoff, and punt. Yuch.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Or they just figure the Cowboys never know whats going on and don't know how to judge talent. True the Cowboys aren't in a position to cut any defensive player. They should carry 42 defensive and 11 on offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an interesting concept (particularly point #1). I just don't understand why NFL teams would neglect what seems to be a crucial advantage in the Kicking Game. A guy that can reliably coffin corner kick has to (indirectly) be worth what would amount to a Win over the course of a season. Just imagine the advantage The Skins would have if our Punter could keep 2 out of 3 opponents burdened with poor field position 1/3 of the time. Anyways, fascinating stuff.

Zazzaro703 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Im still waiting for the day an athletic punter arrives on the scene. I cannot believe we dont see more punters with speed. With the gunners being covered on the outside and normally the guy setup to block is never going to dive at the kicker, any punter with speed youd think could easily race around the edge for an easy 10 yards. All that would be there would be lineman. A punter that is always a threat to run basically negates any punt block. The guys outside blocking the gunners would either have to peek into the backfield and get smoked or turn around and run leaving that side of the field wide open.

Est.1974 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 SkinsFanMania post #69: "Yes, but was injured all of last year." How has he looked in this preseason? He also had a contract paying Him the best apart of 4mil for the year I believe. The cheaper guy beat him out, but I'd be willing to bet if we cut the Cobra, the Bucs will take him in for a tryout in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
