Folk out due to appendectomy - UPDATE Cut to sign Kai Forbath.

I think Ebner's Rugby skillset would be better for punting..

True...but we don’t need a punter.
We need someone who can kick an extra point or at least a 35 yard field goal.

Back in my day, we had appendix surgery at 11:30 am and were back at work following the lunch break.

No joke, a friend's child was off at college and had an appendectomy at 6 PM and was sent home in a cab at midnight before the parents could even get there... WTF???

I blame all the Gostkowski whiners for eminating all this bad Karma towards our kicking game....who's gotta ****ing wigi board?

 

[Zuma]

I think Folk is good kicker....hope he is back soon.

 

[sb1]

He gone.


Thanks for the last couple of games and speedy recovery.

How does the injury settlement work in these cases? I am curious.

Nobody Folk But Mine...

Four kickers in one year. Don’t remember ever seeing that before.

Can 2016 end already??

The Pats had 3 punters is 2006.. Other teams have had to use multiple kickers.. Chargers used 3 last year..

Why would there be an injury settlement for a non-football injury???

Too bad for Folk that he got sick. Forbath may be auditioning for a permanent job with the Pats if he does well this season. He is several years younger than Ghost.

If you followed the thread, my response was to someone else mentioning Ebner.

Not sure if this has been posted, but here's our new kicker:

Very glad this weeks game is in a dome. Am not going to be surprised if Folk comes back after healing up.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Weird, we’ve been spoiled with having just 2 kickers since AV was drafted and then the transition to Ghost. This season has definitely been a change in the usual comfort at that position.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

too bad... Folk's PATs were things of beauty..

 

[captain stone]

The odd-year injury curse strikes again.

I bet he does

Supposedly could be back next week. Was just cut for roster space. He will be back
