HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

My guess is unfortunatly Paul Edinger. I hope they go after Josh Brown, Although I don't know what the Compensation would be.

Seattle is very likely to match any Brown offer. I'd just bring in three good legs and let them compete. Unless we're paying $3M for a top kicker, there's a lot of kickers who have solid legs that could be had for league minimum.

they should just draft that kowski guy.. i cant remember his full last name..

I think Ray Finkle might be available.....

We talked about this on our latest show. It appears that New England has a decent scout when it comes to kickers (see: Phil Dawson, Owen Pochman, Robbie Gould). I wouldn't be shocked to see the Pats pick up a rookie free agent or late round draftee to fill the void. No telling what the Pats will do, but it seems to me that if they were seriously interested in a player like Edinger, they would make a move for him fairly soon.

Memphis's Stephen Gostkowski?

BB and Pioli learned their lesson from the Jabari Holloway experiment.

I think Edinger is a good K. Those that don't can you give some reasons?

I think most of us are OK with him, it's just a matter of what $$$ he would want and whether he's worth it vs. a minimum salary guy. His 40+ numbers are very good, for some reason he has bad 30-39 numbers the last two years. Is it just one of those things or does he have some kind of mental block in that range ? His 3-8 in that range last year isn't going to work for us.

If they can't get brown, then i am in favor of drafting a kicker!

Andy -

I liked Edinger too. And then I started looking at how he's performed recently and I was appalled.

In 2005, Edinger was 3-8 in kicks from 30-39 yards last year, but 8-10 from 40-49 yards and 3-5 from 50+. His kicks avg. 63 yards, but 8 games were in the dome of Minnesota. Edinger also failed to record a touchback.

In 2004, Edinger was 2-5 from 30-39 yards, 4-7 from 40-49 yards, and 3-5 from 50+. His kicks were a paltry 60 yards and he failed to record a touchback.

Needless to say, I'd rather bring in Josh Huston or Steven Gostkowski. Especially since many of us were complaining about the fact that the returners from the opposing team were always starting from between the 7-10 yard line with Adam kicking the ball.
