Steelers kicker try outs

I wonder if they will invite Reed also. I would I don't see what it hurts.

 

Yeah so far a 5th and a 7th but didn't they pick up a pick from someone I can't remember.

 

Good. That doesn't discount the fact that Tomlin should've sent Scobie back out there for the 50 yard OT attempt. He had plenty of distance. Oh' well, If they just never suit him up again that will probably ease my mind a bit.

 

Add Chris Boswell to the list of people trying out.

 

I can live with the 5th and 7th and the kicker money disappears from the cap after this season, except for Sushi whom I want back. The problem is these two loses are likely to loom big when we just miss out on the wild card.

I'd have definitely lined that turd up from 50 and let him try again. It may have gone in on sheer luck alone. It's not like the O was going to score a TD and time was running down. Just a ****ty, awful game.

 

if is cut next year ,his salary for this year is guaranteed

 

didn't we get one from the Giants for Brad Wing? 7th I think.

 

That's it

 

Ok I changed the name of thread to cover all kickers. Add Randy Bullock to the list of those trying out.

 

Can we try out some head coaches too?

I do kind of feel bad for Scobee- but I just don't understand why he's doing so bad! In his career, he's made 241/301 field goals and 323-329 extra points. His longest field goal is 59 yards & he was AFC player of the week 8 times. (One of them was in 2014.)
Is he unhappy here? Does he not like Pittsburgh? Tomlin? Michael Vick? How do you go from being a great kicker to being very very bad?

 

For a career he is only at like 73% from 40-50 yards I think Suisham hit 30 some straight from that distance or something like that.

 

the only trouble with forbath is short kickoffs. he's pretty acurate, but many kickoffs are returned.

 

And it is not even cold out yet? LOL

 

Scobee isn't that old, 33, but it does seem like he has hit a wall. The Jags obviously knew that.

 

You hate to see a guy lose his job, especially when the guy seems to be a good guy.

I wonder if Berry, being new, is holding the ball weird or wrong?

 

Exactly. We can't forget that the Jags got rid of him, so they obviously thought they could do better. Good kickers are hard to find and you don't get rid of one unless you have to.

 

if they are trying out today in the burgh, it will be under chitty weather conditions. that actually could be a good thing.

 

Thought about this too! but don't you think we would've heard about it being Berry's fault?

 

This. The Jags were jumping with joy to let him go. The expectations in the Steel City are high. Jacksonville there is NO expectations. The pressure i'm sure he felt after the 2 misses against the Cheats probably were fresh in his mind being bashed. He is done...Unless he goes to a team with lowered expectations...

 

I had this same thought, boomer.

 

I WAS SCREAMING NOT TO LET SCOOTER TRY THAT KICK. aLL WE WOULD HAVE DONE ID GIVE HIM 7 MORE YARDS. didnt know the caps were loaded
