No doubt he has to get better on his PATs. But the guy was better than most top kickers when they were rookies.
I think after seeing some of our losses last year, the thought is we have to prioritize kicker at least to some level. Joseph was a fine kicker, but if we can upgrade, I'm all for it. Not sure Gould is the answer though.
Always for upgrading, but not so sure the position is as dire as some have us believe.....I think they believe Joseph was the kicker who missed kicks in the first few weeks (Zane)
Yeah you could very well be right. I felt bad for Zane. He was actually injured but was too afraid to tell anyone because he thought it'd cost him his job.
Not sure if you were aware, but he had some good moments for AZ down the stretch. Think he nailed two 50 yarders (one late maybe) to win a game for them.
Oh he was a fantastic prospect. I honestly was excited when we got him because I thought he was going to lock down the position for the next decade. I still think he can have a long career, and I hope he does. From all accounts, he's a great kid.
Just rumors, but have you been hearing the Shoebert rumors? Now I'm one who thinks anyone can be traded (depending what you get back) but I really hope if this happens it's not more about ego for Dorsey and he just wants guys he acquired/drafted.
I have been hearing those. My guess is if there's any truth to it, it's not going to be a small trade - player for player, or player for a pick. I could see him being available in an effort to bolster the secondary (Patrick Peterson?). I like Schobert, but I wouldn't be pissed if we moved him. He's a demon in pass defense, but he is absolutely horrendous in run defense. He led the league in missed tackles last year. Maybe having a different DC in there could help. However, I'm not married to the idea of him being a Brown. Personally, I'd rather trade him and sign Zach Brown. I think he would be perfect for our defense. He's elite against the run and improved against the pass last year, and he's still only 29.
Yeah...this isn't a knock against Dorsey if there's a plan to find someone better. Would be a little upsetting, though, if he just moved him for, say, a 4th or 5th rounder.
Guy is one of the best in pass coverage, so not sure "not one of most athletic" is true.
I don't think there's any way Dorsey is going to let him go for pennies like that. If he gets traded, my guess is it's a larger trade involving 4-5 total assets (players/picks) and it would be for a major contributor, and my guess is it'd be a DB. If that's the case, I'm all for it. I'm not wild about the MLB spot in this draft after Devin Bush, so my hope is he doesn't plan on filling a starter role with a mid-round guy, but then again I didn't think much of Genard Avery last year when we picked him.
Let Collins go for less than pennies. what was the rush?
Collins was a lollygagger who was also top 5 in most missed tackles. His effort was inconsistent. I was totally fine with letting him walk, honestly.
