Sepulveda Expendable

Kapinos seems to be doing a very good job with the punting. Does this mean the end for Sepulveda?
We can't afford to pay him to stay on IR continually.

 

yeah, i think he'll be gone once he comes off IR

 

Sure Kapinos had a good game, but I want them to keep Sep. He will be very good for years to come and he can even tackle, if needed. With the right rehab, I am hopefully he will be fully healed.

 

We have been saying this for 3 years and he gets injured half way though the season. I say keep Kapinos and let Sep walk, he was a good punter but how many knee surgerys does it take before you say enough? Thank him for his service and let him go.

 

I have supported Spe from day 1. But, it's time to move on. Can't stay on the field so he definitely should not be paid what he's getting paid. Kapinos seems to be kicking it well.

 

I've supported him all along too. I still prefer him to Kapinos, although I don't mind Kapinos at all. Do you know what they are getting paid? It is a tough call with a good player who can't stay healthy. If there's a "bright side" to his injury, however, it should be noted that the ligament he hurt in years past is still fine, and it's a different one he hurt this time. But maybe that's not a good thing after all... Anyway, might as well bring him back for the preseason next year and see what happens.

 

Expendable along with Sushiam

 

isn't the same knee and ligaments that keep on tearing? Sounds like an ongoing problem.

 

sep we love you but you got to go...you get hurt too much

 

Kapinos has always played at a high level with us, and @ PSU. I wish we could make him our starter for the years to come.
I do like the way Sepulveda punts, but he's not been healthy since 2nd year in college.

Hope we had the same dilemma at K...

 

Completely agree!

 

If you can't punt the ball 4 or 5 times a game without getting injured, then its time to go.

 

Keep Kap get rid of Sep.....Easy choice!!!

 

Kapinos actually won the job in training camp. Sep should have been given his walking papers then.

 

Sep is a class act. After games when leaving the stadium, Sep would stop his car and sign his autograph for my son; did it on two different occasions. Not all our players do. Many would speed past without slowing down, but not Sep. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for him.

 

If I signed a card for your kid should I be on the STEELERS roster too......Its great to have players willing to sign but just because they sign doesnt make them good!!

 

atleast he didn't kick him in the balls

 

HUH????

 

Did he say he should be on the roster? His point was that he's a class act. That's all he said. And no one (no one that's correct, anyway) ever said Sep is not good. He's a sad case of a good player with one terrible knee. I don't quite understand the mid-season hate for the guy. Seems like a really weird time for it. We can worry about what to do with him after the season. This guy had a nice story.

 

You're all forgetting just how beautifully Sep can throw the ball on the punt fakes. Almost Tebow-esque with its grace.

 

I was backing sep from day one but I thought kap out punted him in the preseason.Now if we can only replace suisham.

 

I said he was a "class act" and not all professional athletes are, including many members of our own team. Sorry that one flew over your head.
