Patriots cutdown thread

[hornetfb85]

wow - no kicker..

 

[Ochmed Jones]

mediot tap dancing!

 

[TomPatriot]

can’t bailey do kick offs?

He already does. He did it for the entire 2019 season.

 

[WinstonSmith]

Most probably nobody but a 5% chance is still a 5% chance.

In his case, if my math is correct, it would be more like a 3% chance...

 

[Taco]

Field goals are overrated.

 

[long distance]

BB would cut himself if he could save a roster spot for a STer..

 

[Deus Irae]

If you're spending the capital to pick the first kicker in the draft, and it's not just a 6th or 7th round pick, you've got to hit on that. And I don't say that as a knock on BB (he's certainly not the only one to do this), or this particular player. I'm just pointing to history.

mediot tap dancing!

Tap dancing? Both of those are very real possibilities.

 

[eustis22]

Inside the 40 is always 4 down territory now!

I was just thinking that, with Folk, they will be punting from the 40.

[ctpatsfan77]

Are there any UDFAs left?

[festy1986]

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.

Onside kicks man. ONSIDE KICKS

[Bill Lee]

Is the UDFA streak officially broken?

Seems that way, Zuber was the last, and he didn't make it:

 

[PatsBoy12]

I have the same question as @AlexB

 

[Bill Lee]

So, other than cutting both kickers, no real surprise, and even that makes sense if you think about it for a while.

 

[Patsgofor4]

OL heavy initial 53. Both Cunningham and Herron made it.
