Yeah, he had some clutch kicks..loved it, i think we could add one via udfa for competition since RA at our PS hasn't lived up to expectations so far either and Folk is on the wrong side of 30Was great last year on FGs <50.

Why are you against the p kicking off?Was great last year on FGs <50. Cannot kick-off. I’d prefer not to use punter on KOs. There will be competition.
Anyone scouting kickers?
Here a quick look of how DL depth went from 2016 (approximately):
NT Branch > Shelton > B.Allen > Godchaux
DT M.Brown > Brown > Guy > C.Davis ?
DT/DE ...-x- > Guy > A.Butler > Anderson
NT/DT2 rot. Valentine (RJF) > x > C.Davis ?
DT depth Hamilton/Kilgo (PS) > Cowart/Adams/(Spence)
From 2016 when NE had arguably best DL play in last 5 years the unit was becoming lighter and weaker/depleted.
While we had some higher hopes in rebuilding/upgrading the former strength it still looks to go in the right direction.
If Carl Davis could finally have a season where he actually cared about being a professional then even the unit as it is could be sneaky strong as in 2016.
He reminds me quite a bit of Valentine potential in 2016/17(size+skill set / inj. concerns)...
Finite number of kicks in the leg and he’s a super punter.Why are you against the p kicking off?

He’s young he can handle it.Finite number of kicks in the leg and he’s a super punter.
Bill may agree. But if he needs groin surgery before the super bowl I’ll be back.He’s young he can handle it.
I’d rather lose a punter that a kicker but I like the super bowl expectationBill may agree. But if he needs groin surgery before the super bowl I’ll be back.
CAP INTERMEZZO
After 2 bigger remaining contracts reported (T.Brown, Karras) - taking away some 10M Cap Space as predicted - NE has some 14M cap space left.
Two contracts are still missing: Adams (reported at 1y/2.5M max) & McMillan (1y). Taking TOP 51 rule into account they should not lower the number significantly.
Current draft picks should take about 3M - but this # can/will change.
(trade up to #4,5 would cost some additional 3M)
They can create additional cap space with cuts, trades, restructures and extensions.
and we are finally fully up to date - back to work
Kickers play until they are 50Yeah, he had some clutch kicks..loved it, i think we could add one via udfa for competition since RA at our PS hasn't lived up to expectations so far either and Folk is on the wrong side of 30
So what you're saying is.... that i still have a shot for an NFL Carreer....Kickers play until they are 50
@BaconGrundleCandy
Don't know if you managed to follow our DL discussion here but one position i feel most certain atm they will Draft is DT.
Since Godchaux is paid to play for 2y & Anderson cheap as you go i feel they might go for 1-5T rather than big nose in early rounds.
Maybe a flyer on one of the big noses in 7th, UDFA.
Have you thought already about this?
Watched a bit of Togiai they met with and he could be there in the 3rd range, maybe eve later?
He could fit well & complement well with what they have on the roster..
Id still prefer Nixon, McNeill but #46 might be reserved for DB again
Togiai or Wilson or somebody else for you in the 3rd? Osa?
btw - do you think Adams can turn it around here?
Or maybe one of your WFT DTs comes here after all @BaconGrundleCandy
Maybe not Allen or Payne but Settle for Harry could be in play..
