Pretty sure the field goal was a chip shot, and he did not kick an extra point. He didn't kick off following the injury, because he couldn't make a tackle. With our coverage unit, the kicker needs to be able to cover / tackle.
He can't cover / tackle on kickoffs. He's made a few tackles this year (possibly TD saving) so I think it's fairly important that we have a kicker who can. Maybe that's Moorman, but then we leave ourselves in a very precarious position if he gets hurt.
Considering Lee has played in 2 games and has 2 catches this season I'd be willing to make the hypothetical bet that he wouldn't have made a difference today.
You're absolutely right. We played badly today. It happens to every team. The key will be how we respond. But this loss makes it a lot more difficult for us to make the playoffs.
I think I need more short sentences. And an editor.
Maybe Ralph's just trying to get everything he can out of it now so that he can leave the team to Erie County when he dies. Then you'll see some real professional mis-management.
