        Both Seibert and Patterson were awful in camp. Seibert won the competition. Holmes made a rookie mistake getting cheap with Prater.

          You'll rememeber his name when he starts making plays!

          I expect Futureshock to drop his Rodrigo fan-boy status and jump on the Demetrius Taylor bandwagon.

          Meech! Meech! Meech!
          I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

          • The problem with Prater is he's 38 and injured. I agree it was probably better to keep him but it's not like he's a building block for a franchise.

            Comment


            • What is with this building block nonsense? Not everything is about building blocks. They have had at least 6 kickers since they made that rookie mistake to try and save money and it is a never ending banana peel.

              Comment


              • I mean by the time the team is ready to win he's pushing 40. I'd rather be doing my kicker search now than after he retires.

                • Is Blankenship worth trying out? He was pretty good a few years ago. Only 25
                  WHO CARES why it says paper jam when there is no paper jam?

                  • He's another guy with no leg.

                      If that’s true it’s cool they can move him around. Getting Paschal and the Okwara’s back would also help.
                      The younger one has been back and bites harder then Hutch. Maybe Romeo will display better discipline when he gets healthy.

                      If you guys can't remember that diamond, that's on you. Give him a week active. You will remember him!

                      MEECH!MEECH!MEECH!

                      (CGVT tell your wife we both down with Mr. Taylor. I think it's just some App St hate going on around here )

                      For Kicker? I mean he missed, a couple, his last year here (I can't say I have kept up on him since), but, until you HAVE better, why rush him out the door? Kickers are always one of your highest scorers on your team. Kickers are people too you bawbags

                      Trickalicious - I don't think it is fair that the division rivals get to play the Lions twice. The Lions NEVER get to play the Lions, let alone twice.

                      • Would you rather be desperately trying to find a good kicker while you suck or when you're ready to contend and it's holding you back?

                        I remembered Demetrius Taylor. That's why I knew who he was talking about. Hopefully he does well.

                        Comment


                        • The assumption is that they'll find one by the time they are ready to contend.

                          There was NOTHING stopping the Lions from looking and trying out people WHILE they had one. Hell, that's how they found Prater to begin with, while Hanson was still on the roster.

                          At the end of the day, I just don't think Campbell or Holmes put much emphasis on the position. They figured they'd mostly be going for it on 4th down in those situations where a big leg could potentially get them three, so they let Prater go. Then Campbell found himself in such a situation, and realized it's a LOT harder to slap his nuts on the table than he thought.

                          It cost them, and it's going to keep costing them.

                            • Yeah they found him and he went to Denver. They were lucky to get him back.

                              • Great news. Now how can we get him to help the D?
