SmoothD Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Cedric Ogbuehi will not make the final 53. He has not shown any improvement. Matter of fact, he seems to be getting worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solidifies Bullock is their guy. No surprise. Then Brown will get yanked off of our practice squad and go to the playoffs. And we're stuck with Fat Nugent again and won't attempt a FG over 45 yards all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|schotzee| Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Regarding the injury to Zack Martin, might there be any punishment to Dre coming? The article I read seemed to make it a point to say he went low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not here, someplace else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure why Marvin would come out & say that. It’s possible. But kicking in a real game is probably a confidence booster for him. My problem with Marvin writing him off is that his skill set is a WEAPON. Based on that kick last night, he seems to have enough range to hit from 60+. A team can use that. This team can use that. Figure out a way to keep him on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can reliably nail 55 yarders (or more) when their offense stalls just past their opponents midfield, which thankfully is often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure out a way to keep him on board. Really my problem with writing him off is just that - why say anything? There are very few guys on this team so awesome as to deserve guaranteed starter spots and those are the type that don't need to be told. They know they're better than the next guy, or at least have the confidence to believe it themselves. I don't see the benefit of telling a very average kicker like Fat Randy that he's safe. If he's so mentally weak that the competition unnerves him that's all the more reason to cut him IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a kick out of the fact that Bullock has a career year when he was forced to compete for his job against a young kicker. So instead of doing the same thing this year, you tell him that no competition is needed any longer. Marvin has been a fuckup when it comes to his specialists for awhile. Keeping Brad St. Louis too long, keeping Graham too long, keeping Nugent too long, drafting Elliot in the 5th, only to cut him, and now declaring no competition between journeyman kicker and relative unknown who has so far risen to the occasion.

Did you ever think that he said that to keep the pressure off Brown? Brown now is also under no pressure, so he can just go kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the rest of the team as well. Sort of the same reason I don't like treating Eifert like a precious Fabergé egg. How do they expect players to gut out soreness and minor injuries when they know they can spend 2 years on IR and still have a reserved seat? This team is mentally soft and have collectively shit themselves in their biggest moments. Players & coaches come & go, but the results have stayed the same. All these new guys aren't going to mean shit if that mentality doesn't change with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
