He'll get another Ficken chance. boooooooooooooooooom

Anyways, I wish we would have just signed Bailey when we had the chance. The guy still has it.

He didn’t want a temp job. He was waiting for a full time spot on a contender to open up.

Bailey came out and said he chose the Vikings over other offers to workout. Don’t know if we were one of them but he made his choice.

Just sign whoever is the best under 40 yards. If need be let Hekker do kickoffs as he seemed to get it to the endzone. I just want a kicker who won't miss extra points and rarely miss under 40. Our offense is good enough to deal with anything else. Can't wait for GZ to get back though.

Neither of these guys we are working out are anything special. One has had the same medical issue that’s kept GZ out.

 

[Merlin]

Yeah those dudes aren't any better than Ficken, who is not good enough. Jesus I pray we get GZ back soon.

FWIW:
Forbath is 35 of 41 from 40-49 yards in his NFL career
Santos is 23 of 29 from 40-49 yards in his NFL career

Can we bring back Mike LANSFORD and his barefoot please?

Sounds like though whoever it ends up on the Rams will only end up being needed for a week or two at the most. So previous injury issues may not even play a role this time.

Not a fan of assessing kickers based on stats. Hoping Bones is picking their brains out to see who has the better mental endurance.

 

[fearsomefour]

Ehhh.....will to bet there is a missed kick versus Seattle.

From 20-39 yards out. Either seem good enough to do the job.
Forbath is 20 of 22
Santos is 59 of 64

Are you saying that Bones is a zombie?
