Riley Patterson is a better option out there. I hope we put in a claim for him, but if he clears waivers, we should definitely sign him. Patterson only has accuracy issues from beyond 50 yds and is only 24 years old. Couldn't ask for a more perfect match at this point of the season.
That would be awesome and I mentioned that as a possible pitch to get him to sign with us if he did clear waivers. Gotta say I'm surprised we don't know that info since I thought it was 24 hours for a player to clear waivers.I was thinking, that if we put a claim on Patterson - that maybe some other team might also do that, to prevent the Rams from taking him -- then I realized, it was Detroit that let him go....
Since we could end up playing Detroit in the playoffs - just imagine that we sign Patterson - and he nails the game winner -- against Detroit?!?! Would that be a story, or what?
Conversely my guess these playoff games could come down to a kick do you want Haveraik making that kick I don't honestly 45 yards and farther I would rather punt and pin them back gain 30 yards assuming the ball lands somewhere around the 5 - 10 yard line or go for it on 4th down than have him kick.
We are not finding Tucker in the FA pile but Maher as an example only missed 2 kicks under 50 I'd rather have him back.
IMO, sign Riley Patterson to the practice squad and may the best man win. Patterson might be more consistent. Be interesting as I do think the Rams will sign a new long snapper over Tinker, but will they actually look for a different holder? Evans has held all year, but he had not done that in college. I believe Wentz could hold because I think he has, so I wonder what will happen.
I mean, he couldn't really be worse than what we have now.
