I said it somewhere else but Kyle E is Ted Roof II imo...which is a very big complement. If we upgrade at LB I think someone like Key Fox, Phillip Wheeler , Marco Coleman (my pick), Daryl Smith, Mackel Harris or Keith Brooking would help this team more than Ted. I am looking for an outside guy and/or an upgrade in wheels to help this specific team. Again, this is no disrespect to either Kyle or TR or you bc Roof was a difference maker at his position and an all time GT great.
Good call on kicker. Not sure what's going on with Birr that made him go from automatic to shaky this year. It'd have been interesting to see how the Syracuse game played out as a 17-24 game into the 4th instead of a 14-24 game, as well as the Louisville game as a 25-24 game late in the 4th instead of 31-19. Though to be fair, Butker also missed his fair share in 13-15.
That's why I went with Sisson over HB...I recall SS being more consistent throughout his time on the flats. I think HB's kick against the dwags and his NFL career influence people's thinking a great deal.
People forget Butker got cut from his first NFL team. To his credit, he kept practicing and improved on his craft.
Too young to have watched him but judging solely by college stats HB is still arguably a better kicker. 71.7% on FG, 99.0% on XP for Butker vs. 68.2% on FG, 98.3% on XP for Sisson.
) outkick both by percentages.
Oh I see. You are one of the nerdy types who want to use facts and data and do research to argue on the internet. I much prefer to rely on alcohol impaired memories from decades ago, hunches, gut feels, intuition, flagrant lies and pure manufactured bull**** when engaging in an internet debate.Too young to have watched him but judging solely by college stats HB is still arguably a better kicker. 71.7% on FG, 99.0% on XP for Butker vs. 68.2% on FG, 98.3% on XP for Sisson.
Surprised to see, Travis Bell and Scott Blair (...and Aidan Birr

The Panthers drafted him, but stuck him on the practice squad because they could not commit to replacing the incumbent kicker (Technically, they had to release him to get him on the practice squad) . The Chiefs said thank you very much and signed him off the Panther's practice squad. Everything the Panthers do seems to blow up in their face.
…and the Chiefs said, “Thank you so much. I’ll take this.”
Let's don't leave out Eddie Lee Ivery & Robert Lavette.
