WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Well, if our time withou Lindell has taught us anything is that a half decent kicker is a gist.
biglukes Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) He gets cut at the end of the preseason and put on the practice squad is my guess. They love Lindell and just resigned him. So he's not here to take his job. They probably want to be on the safe side in case of injury and avoid another Rayner situation. Edited April 28, 2012 by biglukes
SWVABillsFan Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 From what I read excellent on PA attempts. Field goals about an 80% guy or so. His leg isn't the strongest but not the weakest. Could be a practice guy squad. Ryan is starting to age and injuries may more frequently start to occur. Good pick to finish a good draft.
JimBob2232 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I read his bio..."Program record holder for tackles by a kicker (36)". Maybe that explains it!
BillsRUs Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Well that's where a kicker is usually drafted....lindell is getting pretty long in the tooth....and hasn't been able to kick the ball super deep or out of bounds like everyone else does now to get the return game out of the equation...anyone got any info on this kid
Chandemonium Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Whoever we picked there probably would've been cut anyway, and they almost always bring in a UDFA kicker and punter for camp. They probably liked him just enough that they didn't want to compete with other teams to get him to camp, but I'd be shocked if he's on the opening day roster instead of Lindell.
todd Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 What? A kicker? According to some, we should have a starter, preferably a QB in this round! Chix sucks! Meh.
Dan Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 1335655668[/url]' post='2452045']I read his bio..."Program record holder for tackles by a kicker (36)". Maybe that explains it! Convert him to LB!!
Arkady Renko Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 NFL.com had like 10 other kickers ranked higher. Just saying.
bills1960 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I'm surprisingly satisfied with this pick. Let's hope he'll be Lindell's successor.
Dennis in NC Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) LB Tank Carder was also a kicker in high school. I think he may have done some long kicks and kickoffs at TCU (I'll have to check on that). Well, not quite. Here's the link: Carder boots FG Edited April 28, 2012 by Dennis in AZ
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 reminds me of the last round of my fantasy draft every year. "uhh, is the cowboys' kicker still available? okay, I'll take him."
