Mr_Blizzard Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Watching the Cowboys-Redskins game. Moorman still looks pretty good. Thoughts on cutting him mid season? I don't think it was the greatest idea.
mrags Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 The guy is an old man. Looks like a cancer survivor and can't kick that well anymore.
KD in CA Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Good grief, again with this nonsense? People's attachment to a 38 year old punter in decline is really odd. I loved the move.
NoSaint Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 The guy is an old man. Looks like a cancer survivor and can't kick that well anymore. But he was OUR cancer survivor looking guy that wasn't kicking well. Imagine what the season could've been if we replaced him months later! Huge mistake. (That the right script?)
jumbalaya Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 The new guy doesn't look so good. The FO pannicked thinking someone would pick up our reject. This was where Chan first lost th eteam. ThenChan messed with Lindell's head enough he is mostly worthless. This team is a mess. Chan can't get released soon enough.
Big Gun Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I think Powell did ok and don't have a problem with the move, in hindsight of course.

ExWNYer Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 For those of you still pining for Moorman, he's a FA after the season, I believe.
boyst Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Good grief, again with this nonsense? People's attachment to a 38 year old punter in decline is really odd. I loved the move. For a 38 yr old, his leg is pretty darn good, I say.
Max997 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Moorman couldn't pooch punt inside 20 to save his life
mrags Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 For a 38 yr old, his leg is pretty darn good, I say. amd for 38 years old. How much time you think he's got left? 1, 2 years. Tops. Who cares. You gotta get younger sometime.
ChasBB Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 if switching punters lost the team, the team needs to get lost and let someone else take their spots on the field. +1 Seriously, if any team at any point in NFL history was ever lost by the coach due to swapping a kicker or punter, it doesn't say much for the team. Kickers are lucky to have jobs at all. The changing of a kicker or punter should have absolutely zero impact on the rest of the guys actually doing the hitting and getting hit. And if for some crazy reason, the punter is the emotional leader of your team, then you've got some serious deficiencies on the roster.
CardinalScotts Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 it was time....didnt cost us any wins
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 For those of you still pining for Moorman, he's a FA after the season, I believe. This, is gonna be the huge offseason move to get fans back on board. It was Thurman's big news. It's what Ralph's video is about.

HalftimeAdjustment Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 According to the stats on NFL.com (not including the final DAL-WAS game), Powell had gross 44, Net 38.1 in his games with the Bills. Moorman had Gross 44.8, Net 39.5 in 11 games with Dallas. Yes, Moorman's season net average (including his games with the Bills) will be slightly lower, but from the point of the change onward, Moorman has out-punted Powell. Also, the NFL.com site says he is 36, not 38.
boyst Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 amd for 38 years old. How much time you think he's got left? 1, 2 years. Tops. Who cares. You gotta get younger sometime. I had just meant looks wise - as a joke. I am fine with Potter. Besides, why not let him play through the year? Did we really need to cut him? Woulda shoulda coulda...water under the bridge, spilled milk, etc.

I can think of a few shanks but I can also think of many pinned inside the 20 punts as well as a noticeable move to directional/out of bounds kicking.

Dragonborn10 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Moorman has been bad for years now. He out kicks his coverage with line drive no hang time kicks and as pointed out above he has little ability to down the ball inside the 20. Powell will be fine.
