Captain Hindsight Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 He only had 8 TBs on 68 KOs last season. That couldnt possibly be design... he must suck
Mr. WEO Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 That couldnt possibly be design... he must suck Nice try.
K-9 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Nice try. Are you suggesting that all those kickoffs to the corner are not by design? Or are you saying you don't think Lindell sucks? GO BILLS!!!
Captain Caveman Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 He can't kick? 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.
billsfreak Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) He is a kicker, and the injury seems to be to his hand. last time I checked, a place kicker didn't really need to use his hands much. Put a nice cast on the hand and send him out on the field! Actually it does affect his kicking, and his follow through motion. Did you see him almost miss the PAT with his bum wing? Watch any kickers arms, and they are normally out to the side for balance on the kick, it didn't look like he could lift his one arm. I believe the injury was to the shoulder after he landed on it making that touchdown saving tackle on the kickoff. Give Spiller a shot at kicking, there has to be something that someone drafted that high can do in the NFL. Edited November 7, 2011 by billsfreak
26CornerBlitz Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 buffalobills Buffalo Bills Chan on Lindell: Not good and will bring in some guys this week to kick. Make a decision tomorrow or Wednesday.
thebug Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Are you suggesting that all those kickoffs to the corner are not by design? Or are you saying you don't think Lindell sucks? GO BILLS!!! I think they are by design, but because of him not having a strong leg.
K-9 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I think they are by design, but because of him not having a strong leg. They're absolutely by design. Part of it may have to do with leg strength but the main reason is to take away half the field on the return. Theoretically, the return man should be forced into your coverage on a narrow field and, because directional kicks are usually higher, the coverage team should be able to make the tackle short of the twenty most times. You need an accurate kicker to do this, regardless of leg strength. GO BILLS!!!
buffalo1983 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Ryan Lindell is expected to miss 4-6 Weeks with a shoulder injury. Edited November 8, 2011 by buffalo1983
DC Tom Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Ryan Lindell is expected to miss 4-6 Weeks with a shoulder injury. Please tell me he hurt his shoulder making a tackle on a kickoff. Because if it was anything else, he REALLY needs to work on his technique.
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Ouch. Only thing worse than losing a game is losing and getting hurt.
buffalo1983 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Please tell me he hurt his shoulder making a tackle on a kickoff. Because if it was anything else, he REALLY needs to work on his technique. Yes it was on the tackle
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Please tell me he hurt his shoulder making a tackle on a kickoff. Because if it was anything else, he REALLY needs to work on his technique. He saved a touchdown. I think it was in the 4th.
