Zoltan Mesko Waived, Mat McBriar Signed

Proof once again that the "powers to be" do read this board.

See ...
"The Voodoo hex has clearly moved to SushiHam" thread for details. LOL

 

I wonder what took them so long.

Wait and see he'll be resign next year. We always bring back former players.

 

That will scare the players.
not.

 

They gave him his release papers and he just took that long to get them set in his hands properly.

 

Good wonder who else is on the chopping block

 

Damn good question, especially since Tomlin got rid of Mesko for being "inconsistant". Hell, that could apply to most of the team as well as the coaches.

 

Punters are probably a hell of a lot easier to replace than most other positions.

 

Why did we pick this turd over the one we had? He hurt or cut? Was it Butler?

 

we're saved!!!!!

oh sorry got a little carried away there.

 

Yea this will get us back on the winning track for sure

 

Why does this team always try retreads in the kicking game? What about all of those college kickers that didn't land on a team. Why not do a big ol' tryout and see who's best? What could it hurt?

 

I would brought back Butler, but whatever....

 

We drafted a punter in the fourth round a few years ago.

 

So glad we wasted a 4th round pick on Sepulveda. Haven't had any consistency at this position for about a decade or more.

 

McBriar's numbers the last two years look a lot like Mesko's and both look marginally worse than Butler's.

 

No crap! He was inconsistant as well, but he'd hit a long one every now and then. I don't understand his injury issue.

 

I would brought back Butler also, there can't be much difference between Butler and the guy they signed. And Butler held for our field goal kicker before. I think Tomlin is just being stubborn withn Butler and don't want to admit again that he screwed up again like he did with Drwyer.

 

Don't you know that Colbert makes all the personnel moves for this team? LOL

 

The powers above simply amaze me. Let's cut our punter averaging 36.7 and sign an older punter averaging 37.1. Yeah, we are typically losing games by less than a yard.

all those pining after butler? Sheesh already, his numbers aren't any better, or marginally at best. Heck kapinos had better numbers than butler.

and quite frankly, the small differences in our net punting can probably also be explained by poor special teams play.

punting is not the reason we are losing games.

 

I have asked this question multiple times. No idea why someone thought this guy was an upgrade over the punter we already had on the roster. I would love to know whose idea that was.

 

just because a guy can kick it far doesn't always mean he's the best. we need a guy that can kick high. a guy that can kick far when needed. a guy that can directional punt when that's needed. out kicking the coverage can have bad effects.

with butler we never knew which one we would get at which time. that's why he's not here.

our other punter in camp had hang time and a good directional game but couldn't kick far when needed.

where is bobby walden when you need him, right? LOL

 

This is really a top priority to turn this team around, who is dumblin going to replace next, the trainers????
