Is Rodgers a slot or an outside corner? Would be nice if Howie can parlay this signing into either a quality bench piece or trade chip. 

Guessing this was what DJack was tweeting about yesterday

Outside but he's small. Maddox size

Rodgers is a stud kick returner. Was there when Sirianni was a coordinator. Devon Allen can keep that seat warm for a year. On another note, why is it to okay sign the Ala Pete Rose type gambler (got some baseball in there for you today) who bet on his team, but not the Punt God, who has been cleared legally? Although, he has a pending civil suit. No rules against signing him and doing the same or put on practice squad. Just find that all wishy washy.

Is the halo a sphere? I don't think it is on the Angels' logo.

It seems like this is something that would require a lot of alcohol to try.

I know all Coordinators are chomping at the bit for a HC gig, but I think some of them should be a little more picky about the destination.  There are good jobs to get, and bad jobs.  Nothing about the Arizona job screamed "a top flight HC would want this one"....in fact it was quite the opposite - run away, far away

And one of his two punts was for 57 yards.  I think Skippy’s imagination is running away with itself.

I'm genuinely curious where he got those numbers and wonder if he's been unfairly attributing Kern's atrocious punting to Siposs.

Siposs wasn't particularly good last year, but he was nowhere near as bad as he's being remembered. You'd swear every punt of his was a shank. Kern kinda did shank almost everything so there's that.

Okay, so what happens to the rest of the series when Jackson is injured on September 6?

Guessing he’s probably referencing the Tampa playoff game in 2021

Quick question, if our kicker Elliott would bomb in the playoffs and blow a couple of games. Do you think anyone would remember his regular season stats? Even as good as they are. And Siposs does not have such benefit of the doubt mind you? It's not complicated here. It's a losing mentality to say Siposs is not as bad as Kern. But he's still bad, regardless. And not the answer here. It's obvious. Even all the beat writers are starting to come around to that. And they were pretty patient with him. And telling us how he's good at holding Elliott's balls. They finally gave up on that narrative.

Okay, there's a point.

Think this pretty much confirms that Ricks made it and Scott/Goodrich are stashed on PS. Slay, Bradberry, Maddox, Jobe, Ringo, Ricks.

Yes.

Let me ask you this then. Why isn't David Akers remembered for blowing field goals (41 and 34 yards) in the playoffs against the Packers in 2010? Akers is remembered by Eagles fans as being good, overlooking the fact that his terrible performance might have cost them that game. And since the Packers went on to win the Super Bowl, it's possible a Lombardi could have been in the offing for us.

It's close enough to three dimensional looking for me to be a smart ass and start some baseball talk to piss people off

Probably because he had such a long career  and you will  have a failure here and there. Kickers and punters are almost like relief pitchers. They are streaky. And confidence can get shaken when you fail, as all eyes are on you, especially at crunch time. Even the best ones have off years. Siposs has a smaller body of work, but there's no signs here that he will get better. He's 30 years old and is who he is. I know one thing, when we are backed up at our 10 yard line and it does happen, especially against the good teams, this guy will be lucky to get the defense the ball back at midfield. It's demoralizing with how capped he is.

If we are going to get rid of players based on their performance in that game, Hurts should be gone too.

Are you serious? That is flawed logic. Can't compare those 2 positions. Punters/Kickers are a dime a dozen. Everyone knows  there's a learning curve for 1st year starting QBs. In the playoffs especially. IIRC, Hurts also had a bum ankle in that game as well and facing an all time legend and defending Superbowl Champions.

It was obviously a hyperbolic statement.  Generally, judging someone based on their worst day is a bad way to evaluate individuals.

 

Reminder though, I want a better punter.  I just don't see one available right now.

Not for a punter or kicker. Leash is a lot smaller. And they are easily replaced. If you can't do it when the cards are all on the table then you are in the wrong profession. That's all they do. They can't really contribute in any other role on the team. You better do that one thing right. Again, reserve the holding balls commentary! TIA

Still waiting to hear someone that's actually better and available...

This isn’t personal. I think they keep more than 8. Agree to disagree

They are not. There have been multiple teams that have been without decent kicking multiple times in the last few years and it lost them games. BTW, I think Franklin isn't saying that "Siposs is not as bad as Kern. But he's still bad, regardless". He's saying Siposs is an average starter in the NFL, not bad at all, and that Kern was horrid. It seems like you engage in hyperbole a lot. Has Siposs made mistakes in a couple huge spots? Yes, but to get rid of him because of that while not seeing the rest of his body of work would be giving in to that hyperbole without any clear upgrades on the horizon. If we can upgrade the spot, and I mean actually upgrade it, not just put a different name in there with basically the same ability, then I am all for it, but I don't see a point in replacing him with another version of him because some fans are mad because he made a couple of mistakes in bad spots.

AnyoneNotNamedSiposs!! They may not be proven cuz they are young. But they have strong legs and growth potential. Let's start with Punt God, Korsak and Turk. And for the known vets, I'd take Waitman, Haak and even Marquette King. I'd bring every one of these guys for a tryout and go from there. 

I wonder if we'd give Jack Anderson a look at guard. The Giants waived with with an injury designation but he could still be claimed.
