Nick Folk back (will be official tomorrow as reported by Rapaport)

[SHOWTIME15]

Nick Folk reportedly will rejoin the Patriots

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Oops, Florio had an update to the article...

UPDATED 11:23 a.m. ET: Rapoport has quickly backtracked, after coach Bill Belichick told reporters that Folk may not be healthy enough to kick this week.

So is Jake Bailey doing field goals now?

#asexpected

 

[Fatmancryin]

No he’s not..lol

 

[Bradybranch]

Kind of want to see if Bailey can kick field goals

 

[Vatahala]

Maybe BB feels we will need every point to defeat KC and he will only opt for TDs and 2 point conversions.

Can't be worse than any of the other kickers we have had.

Or have the backup QB do dropkicks?

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Food, Folks and fun, you know the one....

 

[FortressX]

I thought by the thread title Krafty Bob's friend Meek Mill had a new song out.

Maybe next week.

Ebner would probably be a better choice for that.

Ebner would probably be a better choice for that.

It's absolutely ridiculous that the Patriots have put themselves in a position where
we are talking about things like this. The other kickers who are out there may be the
dregs but at least they have kicked in college and/or professional football. Bailey
hasn't kicked a field goal since high school.

I can assure you that Bailey has kicked FGs more recently than high school ... probably has kicked some within the past few days.

Unless you mean FGs in a live game?

Put themselves in this position? So, you're saying that the Patriots CAUSED Gostkowski's hip injury AND Folk's appendicitis attack.. Got it.. SMH..

 

[Ian]

Regarding Folk, there's no way he's kicking this soon after an appendectomy. I'm not an expert, but having had one (and my daughter had one a few years ago), that's a minimum of a few weeks of healing, if not a little longer. Especially since I believe he's a right-legged kicker. I was initially surprised when I first read it and the fact Rapoport has updated that Folk might not be ready yet definitely makes more sense.

Why did they cut Forbath before having a decent, healthy replacement? Was obtaining
Huggins better than having no kicker?

They probably thought they were getting Chase McLaughlin. Who would have thought Indy was going to get a 2nd kicker? Buffalo put a claim in for him too but they were smart. If they got him would have released Haushka afterwards. It was a roster mistake by Bill for sure.

 

[Triumph]

No Folk. Well, thats a kick in nuts.

Forbath is probably kicking himself for that shank.

BB kicking the can down the road I see.
