    I was a little bit late for Gary Anderson, but I always held Norm Johnson in high esteem. Solid. But then he pushed that FG right in the '97 Championship game and he was dead to me. Not really....but I haven't rooted for a kicker since.

    I think I heard that he is 5 of 6 at Hines Field. Something like that.

    I think I would be willing to roll the dice. The Jags were gonna get rid of the dude anyway, or they never would have agreed to the trade. Yes, there may have been other teams interested, but I just think a 6th rounder is a little steep to pay for someone who might not even be here next year.

    Well played! Gotta figure Thursday night will be fairly ugly no matter the outcome just because it is the last pre-season game.

    The Jags are paying $925K of what Scobee was due in 2015. Steelers should be responsible for $2.5 Mil.

    so how much do we have invested in kickers for this year?

    maybe this is the plan for defense. take all the kickers in the league out of play and sign them to our IR. could save us several points per game.:facepalm::cool:

    I'm guessing the guy the Jags kept comes much cheaper.

    hell yes a rookie

    they both booted the hell out of the ball against us in the game

    and
    I said
    we need one of them after Suishy got hurt

    just glad we have someone to put it in the endzone on kickoffs
    our ST sucks even with DHB

    Yeah they are on the hook for 2.5 million this year for scobee, and they offered him a 2 year deal through 2016 which he turned down, but all told they have about a 5 million dollar cap hit for all 3 kickers this year, thats some expensive 3 pointers...
