Patriots Player Departure Bye Bye Slye

[The Gr8est]

Yes!!! I said it at the time. Another idiotic decision by Wolf and Mayo to give up on your rookie 4th round kicker after 1 year.
Rookie kickers often have a difficukt first year.
Now we are back to square ine.
Another example of incompetence by Wolf and Mayo
Just plain stupid

Maybe they listened to posters here, because there seemed to be a lot who were very negative about the Ryland pick from the moment he was drafted until he was cut.

It seems to be so important to some people to be “right”.

of course Slye didnt missed final game last year

Old Man Folk worked well here because NE had a punter who boomed kick offs

Exactly what I was going to say was the PRECONDITION for bringing Folk back.

So how is our P ( Bryce Baringer) on kickoffs?
His bio doesn’t say anything about him ever doing kickoffs.

Of course nowadays you need not just a guy who can boom; but also has touch to get it in landing zone when you think you can box em in or want to burn the clock.

We got Folk originally because others thought he was aging out. We let him go because we thought he was aging out. I don't know, do we figure he can foil that assessment again at this stage?

“Aging out”?

Somewhere George Blanda is laughing.

I liked having a jacked kicker as an extra tackler on kick offs.

Not sure I'd trust him with a game winner in the Super Bowl, but we aren't there yet.

If he's available at 4, do the Pats pull the trigger?
