Of you never give up on Gay!!

& especially Tampa Bay is a haven. That just makes it a perfect place your guy Greg Gaines & man crush.

For me The Rams drafted punter who could end up being an All Pro at some point.

The Rams have always done well with special teams under Les Snead
I should just bookmark this clip

Bump for a new kicker.

I thought Maher would at least make XPs and short FGs, but we really need to bring someone else in again.

Problem is, Maher did this last year too for the cowgirls. Its a thing with him. Which is why I didn't get resigning him. There ARE other options on the planet.

My guess is that maybe Ryan Succop isn't in great shape.... because honestly I'd think he's the better kicker than the other guys we've brought in .... Maher honestly needed to be perfect today because any doubts going into the post-season considering his last post-season is going to be a problem.

I was the number one person here asking for change.

You don't improve the situation by going back to failed kicker #1.

But you don't stick to any failed option, you keep trying to improve.
You just said he wouldn't be an improvement. Should we go back through here and see how many people said any change at kicker is good? People gave me and a few others a ton of crap because we questioned if there was anybody worth making a change for out there. There isn't shit out there at kicker right now. We're going to have to run with Maher now who is a very flawed kicker. And we'll have to make a change in the off season and hope it doesn't hurt us in the playoffs.

Realistically what can we do about a kicker? I don't know how this all works admittedly, any chance we can snatch one from a team that's out of the playoffs now?

Don't agree there. If Dustin Hopkins is healthy for the Browns, we can go after Riley Patterson. Much much much better than Maher and Havrisik. I've been asking for us to go after this guy the second he got let go by Detroit.

We go for two on TDs. We go for 4th and short with Wentz outside the 20 yd line.

Riley Patterson from the Browns, but Dustin Hopkins needs to be healthy first. Hope some shaman out there works their magic on him :laugh1:

You keep trying to find a better option. We signed Gay a couple years ago, and he was amazing. I was trying to rationalize going back to Maher last week when we resigned him. I would have signed someone else personally. I also would have cut Havrishank much sooner than the team did.

So an IF on a guys health and an IF the Browns give us a guy who's on their active roster. Sorry not a solutions just a what if.

Its the most realistic. He's been out 4 weeks I believe with a hamstring injury. Once he's active, no way Browns keep 2 kickers. McVay messed up not putting in a waiver for him initially as no team put one in on him. Wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins is active this week and Riley is gone.


Correction: Hopkins has missed the last 2 games. Here's to fast healing hahaha

Sometimes you have shitty options.

I mean.. we're fighting over a kicker who was released by another team on a playoff push?
