April 1Apr 1 Do you draft a K in the late rounds? I would not. I'd shake the UDFA Kicker Tree after the draft, and see what/who falls out, then make a move to sign a guy or two for Jake's competition.

Before they restructured Jake's deal I would have said yes you probably do look to draft a kicker in the later rounds. But given they've restructured Jake's deal making it look likely he will be here next year then no I am not sure you do. Why spend further assets on the position when they seem to have decided he's getting the job? Which makes absolutely no sense given he has become a liability but it is what it is. So yeah maybe go sign a UDFA and see what happens? But ultimately that guy is headed to the PS at best.
September 23Sep 23 Looking like Elliot has worked out his bugs and returned to a strong opening. Most everybody was out on him. Kudos to him for him sticking with it.VS Washington: 1/1 FG 100% 35 YDS 3 XP PTS 6VS Tennessee: 1/1 FG 100% 58 YDS 3 XP PTS 6Hopefully he keeps it going. After that 58 last Sunday I'd say keep him shooting for 3s. 🙏
September 23Sep 23 Too early for our victory lap, but so far he's been great. Let's hope he keeps it up, last year he was also perfect until like week 6.
September 23Sep 23 Keep him on a weekly basis. A short leash. Pretty easy to kick in nice warm weather. Hell I was a great K back in HS in the late 80's, Warm weather, a 2 inch tee, no rush because the opposing team had no idea that we were actually going to kick a FG. LOLOL

September 28Sep 28 I wanted them to at least bring in some competition, but perhaps it’s a money thing and they can’t afford to cut him even if they wanted to.
September 28Sep 28 He needs to earn his job/paycheck. No freebies around here!!It’s not like he helped our Iggles win a Super Bowl. Or two. 🦅📺
September 28Sep 28 I'm still on 'Team Jake', but sometimes have to look sideways at him when he misses what should be automatic kicks.
