Open Pool on Kickers!

Boston Saint · 08-19-2021, 02:17 PM

As far as I’ve seen, there has been no roster moves since Maher was taken off active. Am I wrong? Who is gonna kick on Monday night?

No one.... we're going for two on every extra point play. Don't we need to practice those anyway?

Our kickers is on someone else's roster. Maybe the Baltimore back up KMajor's been pushing for.

We still have to onside or kickoff after we score the 2 pt. conversion. Also have to practice coverage duty and holding. I’m genuinely wondering who is gonna kick against the Jags !

The back up kicker for the Ravens was impressive.

Oh I’m sure he’s good...he’s just not on the roster. I would not want the punter hurt doing something he’s not expected to do. At the very least they need to kick off. Unless they do a free kick like after a safety? I’m just surprised that, as of right now, there is no place kicker/kickoff man on the roster when one will be needed in about 5 days. Sorry, 4 days.

Jake Verity.

After final cuts around the league, he'll be picked up quick.

Punter - Morstead certainly performed those tasks...

Morestead was like the Terminator of punters. I wouldn’t want my rookie punter worried about learning kickoff duties too.

I'll be willing to bet he's kicked off in the past and if only for a preseason game what would it matter? I would actually expect that they'd want him to practice it even if the PK was assigned the duty. You know Payton and being able to handle multiple tasks.
