Popular Post KRL Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2019 Are Dan Bailey and Cairo Santos (who was in camp last year). MIN and TB have used draft picks to bring in kickers. MIN traded a #5 for Kaare Vedvik and TB used a #5 on Matt Gay. So both are going to shake free in the final cuts. Dan Bailey https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/14322/dan-bailey Cairo Santos https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/17427/cairo-santos 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Why not just Matt Bryant? Seems like the easiest choice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I hope we bring in another guy to compete this week. Cody Parkey, Matt McCrane, Caleb Sturgis...there are plenty of options out there. Get a competition going for the final 2 preseason games, and keep an eye on cuts for potential upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my choice, we'll be kicking a lot of Xtra points & I think going for 1st downs in no mans land instead of kicking 50 yarders unless absolutely necessary based on the score late in the game. Gase absolutely knows you don't beat New England playing pansy football, Belichick can't counter crazy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, forgot about the kickoffs, but is it as important as it use to be? Hell, Belichick has Gostkowski kick high so it forces returns, lol.

Also funny / sad that these teams that traded a 5 for a kicker already had a kicker that was like 10 times better than our kickers. But I agree with some people's sentiment, that a kicker is not something you put a ton of (any) resources into. You pick up someone at the end of August off the waiver wire, and you'll be fine... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Still wondering why we haven't called Ross Martin. He can't be any worse than what we have right now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also been kicking either inside of a dome or in sunny South Florida for a minimum of 9 games every year for the last decade. And as stated before, Bryant can’t kickoff anymore and I don’t think Lac Edwards has a shred of experience doing it. I’d probably put my money on Santos being the guy we ultimately end up with.

Hell, with the new kickoff rules and shortened field, I can hit the endzone. I'm thinking Bryant is looking for some decent pay to finish his career, so teams would rather find a league-minimum guy that shakes free after cuts.

joewilly12 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Some games are won and lost by the kicker the Jets need to get a guy in here quick so he can know whats going on here and practice with the team especially if we need to kick an on-side kick early in the season to win a game. Cant have a guy walking in here week the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including the Falcons! He was continually battling nagging injuries last year, was dropped by the team he played for forever, is an indoor kicker, and is 40 something years old. No thanks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

56mehl56 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 As an LSU fan another guy that went undrafted is Cole Tracey - He was absolutely money from 50 and in throughout his career . His problem would be kickoffs and longer FG's but I'd have to believe he is a better kicking prospect than Bertolet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 They will probably bring a kicker in after cut down day. Somebody will get cut because their team doesn't want to pay. They might go with a rookie over a vet. We can jump on it unless Gase is also against overpaying a PK. We all know how important to winning close games consistency at the kicking game is. It's worth paying more. This is a team we think will be in many close games. If we win most of them we're in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJF71 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Maybe Gase's plan is to say, "see we don't have a kicker so I'm going for two and on 4th down". That would be awesome by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
