JoJoTownsell1 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Just now, KRL said: Hopefully Ficken works out but ever since Bertolet was released I don't understand why we didn't get an experienced kicker. Cairo Santos, Cody Parkey or Kai Forbath aren't sexy but at least they've kicked in the league Agreed. I kind of understood the Vedvik love a few weeks ago when he could come into a pre-season game and prove himself, but he blew his chance in Minny so the smart move was just to sign some random vet who could at least go 1-2 on kicks. Kicker isn't the place you look for upside 3 days before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTownsell1 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 And before people kill Mac for not signing Myers remember that Matt Bryant was available and Douglas/Gase passed on paying him the big kicker $$ also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanatic Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 9 minutes ago, Copernicus said: Not a vote for Vedvik as much as it is a criticism of Douglas and his assessment of him. Minnesota gave up a 5th (pretty steep) so they must have seen NFL ability, Douglas assesses him personally in Baltimore and loves his ability and he hits the upright on an extra point and a bad snap from 45 yards away and he's cut? Just makes Douglas look a little less competent that's all. I also wont lose sleep over it. GO FICKENS!!! Vedvik has a strong leg and is potentially a good kicker. The problem for Gase/Douglas is they can't afford on the job training for him because the Jets cannot afford to lose on Monday because Vedvik misses an XP or FG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 1 hour ago, SAR I said: Yes. If anything, Sunday's game leaves me more encouraged than ever. * We may have a Top 5 defense, a complete turnaround from past seasons. Gregg Williams on point. * Le'Veon Bell looks like he hasn't missed a step and is the best offensive FA acquisition this year. * CJ Mosely looks like a beast and is the best defensive FA acquisition this year. * Jamison Crowder might be the best slot receiver we've had since Chrebet. * Our OL will only get better- its clear that they were out of sync and Gase was protecting that weakness. * Our O will only get better- see above, we ran a conservative playbook due to the OL being challenged. * Our D will only get better when the O isn't going 3-and-out and tiring them. We had that game won. Bizarre circumstances like a K who sucks and an ILB that got injured cost us the win. I see a very good team out there in the midst of Week 1 growing pains. SAR I yep. except that the 4 turnovers should have made it a blow out win. we'll see what happens from here on out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was re-watching the game on DVR (recorded it since I was there) and they pointed out that in warmups before game, Vedvik was hitting stuff to the left. It appears the young man is either covering up an injury or (unfortunately or him) has developed a case of the yips.

I think the "Darnold sucks" and "fire Gase" ramblings are moronic, but to actually think THAT game was a good thing that leaves you MORE encouraged? damn. hey - I hope (pray) you're right, but these next few weeks are doozies! If we won the game, we would be talking about our dominant ball-hawking defense, CJ Mosely as the FA signing of the century, L'VB as not missing a step, how Crowder set a record for receptions in the slot, and how well Gase designed a conservative offense to mask his OL that hasn't practiced even once yet and a K that shouldn't be in the league. Instead, it's suicide. Keep the faith. SAR I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Harper Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 1 hour ago, Copernicus said: IMHO, it is an overreaction. Vedvik missed the extra point and that is totally on him. The 45 year FG attempt was a bad snap. Tough FG to make from that distance when the timing is off because of a poor snap. Douglas tried to trade for Vedvik. Mionnesota gave up a 5th for him. Douglas loved Vedvik in Baltimore and now cuts him after one game where you can make the argument that it wasn't entirely Vedvik's fault? Seems like a knee jerk reaction by Douglas who catered to short sighted fans on this one. Logically, I sorta agree with this. However, once there is bad juju you really can't get rid of it. Just ship him out and try somebody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
