Coach Tuesday Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Gay just couldn't be corrected, it turns out.
Kelly the Dog Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Gay just couldn't be corrected, it turns out.But it's an affront to God. He could choose not to be Gay and legally change his name.

Niagara Dude Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 humber is another former rob guy from the saints. Wasted pick-up, another loser
Doc Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Wasted pick-up, another loser Why? They know who's making the 53-man roster and traded his spot for a guy who everyone knew was a goner.
Kemp2Warlick Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Josh Reed @4JoshReed 5m5 minutes ago #Bills make the move official. Team adds OL Patrick Lewis and release OL Jamison Lalk.
Webster Guy Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 His brother Ben is a decent college prospect.
Green Lightning Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 He's almost like the Alex Tanney of kickers. Nice reference there, a trick shot kicker. Can he kick it through a second story window to a passing car below?
Rocky Landing Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Wasted pick-up, another loser Well, this late in the preseason, one would hope they wouldn't sign a player that doesn't have any relationship with someone on the coaching staff.
gordong Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 . But then when it became apparent in the preseason games that Gay was seemingly incapable of going straight during FG attempts, his fate was sealed. there is a joke here.....somewhere
3rdand12 Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 J.Gay is a good guy, him and his wife are active in Moorman's P.U.N.T. Foundation. Hope he lands on his feet somewhere. Carpenter was on fire in training camp and during games and it would have been difficult to unseat him with a very good performance during the Giants pre-season game. Yep Jordan has been very good on and off the field. But the days of Specialists were numbered. Hope he focuses on FG and get another shot somewhere 34 touchbacks on 62 kickoffs at UC Davis. None in the NFL that I'm aware of. I know, I'm a fountain of useless ****. wow, that is hardly useless.
Doc Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Gay just has to sit out the year. He'll get a shot again next year.
Rocky Landing Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Gay just has to sit out the year. He'll get a shot again next year. Will he? Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't we the only team sat season to have a kickoff specialist? And, didn't Gay just show the league that field goals weren't really his thing?

And, didn't Gay just show the league that field goals weren't really his thing? I think what Doc is saying is the rule that makes Touchbacks out to the 25 yard line makes Gay mostly useless to any team, but he's thinking the league will realize how stupid they were, and cut out that rule within the year, making a KO specialist possibly worth something next year.

This. Thanks. But I think that, as RL intimated, Gay needs to work on his FG's to become more marketable.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I know, it's almost as if the rule was designed with Gay in mind. It's very anti-Gay. So love doesn't win?

Although, even if the rule is changed back, a kickoff specialist was always a luxury, right? I was thinking, though, if the rule sticks, would a kickoff specialist who could drop the ball shy of the end zone (as opposed to Gay's ability to boom it out the other side) not be a valuable commodity?

I was thinking, though, if the rule sticks, would a kickoff specialist who could drop the ball shy of the end zone (as opposed to Gay's ability to boom it out the other side) not be a valuable commodity? I think the argument is that Carpenter can do that, he can't kick it deep for touchbacks like Gay can. So Gay is possibly a valuable addition if the team is going to start at the 20 yard line. But if it's the 25, Carpenter kicking it to the goaliwne or 2 yards deep should keep the KR team inside of the 25 even with a return. A lot of teams would use a KO specialist if game day roster spots were not so valuable. 31 of 32 teams decided last year that spot, for an extra backup lineman or DB or LB or RB or WR, etc who may be valuable in packages or due to injury was more important than a guy who kicks deep. Not to mention that most kickers can kick deeper than Carpenter at this point in his career.
