wiscotitansfan Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 If you want to say they didn’t think there was anyone available at all that could challenge Kern previous years then that’s fine but still a completely different point being made. They obviously try to bring in their highest rated guys scouted to be those camp bodies when it comes to bringing in an extra leg no matter the current or future situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's because our former punter had started to fall off last year. It was an actual camp battle and not just a body. So what are you complaining about. We brought Shudak in to push Fat Randy. He looked good then got hurt. So we’ve gone with the solid Fat Randy. If Shudak is good in real games then we get rid of Fat Randy… OILERMAN, IsntLifeFunny, and wiscotitansfan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrobs strategy sucks now because kicking sucks, but once that strategy yields a kicker above average that strategy no longer is a problem.

Jas Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 If the Titans need Shudak for this game, will they have to sign him to the active roster since he was on the PUP list? They can't just put him on the practice squad and use an elevation for him without releasing him first and hoping someone else doesn't claim him, correct?

Correct. If at any point the Titans eventually stumble into a kicker worth a damn, kicker won't be a problem anymore. Obviously, that won't change the past but it will remove the problem moving forward. Yes. That's factually how roster holes work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscotitansfan Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) I still don’t understand the whole punter part of this conversation… we’ve done more at the kicker position to attempt to alleviate the problem than the one that we just upgraded to one of the best in the league from our prior great punter I don’t think JRob got the memo that this upcoming offseason he needs to bring in someone he actually thinks is good compared to just a camp body Edited November 26, 2022 by wiscotitansfan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how you find kickers. You only really bring in the vet guys floating around as FAs during the season if a kicker goes down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has some swagger for a kicker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t get the original purpose of bringing punters into the conversation as some gotcha or something. Just like all kickers/punters, we bring in camp legs that are likely UDFAs and if they happen to be great then it becomes a real competition…. It’s not like how Jamal tried insinuating that they were preemptively taking care of the position this year because they were expecting some decline from Kern. We just happened to land a helluva UDFA that unseated an already great player Edited November 27, 2022 by wiscotitansfan japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
