wow - no kicker..

Could also be just one of the vets that they will bring back as soon as they move someone to IR. As some beat guys have said.. I'd wait 1-2 days before making any judgements about who actually will or wont be on the roster in W1.

premature speculation!

Chasing Chase?

Bill moving his chess pieces?

Another great draft choice. So ridiculous, so many better kickers (And other position players available) were available in the draft and they draft this horrible kicker. Blankenship was there for the taking. Same for Tyler Bass, both rated way higher than Rohrwasser. Complete waste of a draft choice.

To be fair, after all the hype for Roberto Aguayo, I view all kicker rankings with great suspicion. I don't really care that they think he was better than the other options at K. My concern is that they also viewed him as a better option than any other player at any other position (especially WR).

Personally I think they put a huge premium on leg strength to groom someone to be as reliable during kickoffs and as consistent in the elements as Ghost. At least that's how I read him being the draft choice. This also means that a year on the PS might be enough to get there and have a proper competition next season.

Some furious back peddling..

Inside the 40 is always 4 down territory now!

At least for a few minutes!

Makes perfect sense.

Other than kickoffs, field goals, and extra points, when do you ever use a kicker?

Never. They have zero positional flexibility.

Belichick's playing chess, and everyone else is playing checkers.

What a great move cutting Folk.

Nobody will likely pick him up and you gain a valuable roster spot.

After this cutdown with the new IR rule, roster spots will be less important.

[long distance]

Yep. It is still a reasonable bet Folk could be kicking vs Miami..

Who will kick in December is anybodys guess though
