RE: The rookie we haven't talked about - pally - 09-30-2024
Apparently, because Robbins was placed on IR with the cut down day designated to return qualifier, they had to put him on the active roster before any other transaction could take place. This is all roster gymnastics

Which is comforting, but continues to make one wonder why they put him on the IR to return to begin with. He wasn't going to be better than signing a random unemployed punter and you have a limited amount of guys you can get back from the IR each year, no?

A team can bring back 8 in the regular season and now an additional two in the post season. The post season addition was a new rule made this year.

Quote:The NFL and NFL Players Association agreed to slightly altered injured reserve rules for the 2024 season that will allow teams to "designate for return" an additional two players in the postseason, alongside the already permitted eight players in the regular season, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

But they knew what he could do vs than random guy off the street who may or may not be better. Ryan had a shakey pre-season. It was worth it to have the back up

With nine punts, Ryan Rehkow doesn't qualify for the NFL lead (he's 1 attempt short).

However, his 58.4 average and 49.7 net would not only lead both categories but would be NFL records.
The single-season records are 53.1 and 46.0.
It's a small sample size, but he's been stellar.

Yep, that stats shows the obvious story on this one. Robbins was just bad at NFL level and there's not much more to be said about it. I was willing to see if some development time would see him improve, but the punter this year highlights even moreso what a poor draft pick Robbins was.
Either way, thankfully we've found a phenomenal punter in Rehkow.

Nice, I think we might have our new Punter in Rehkow.

I think that was expected. They had to have a roster spot to bring him off the IR so they could waive him. Wouldnt surprise me to see the Bengals sign him to the practice squad. I cant see too many teams being interested in claiming him off of waivers

If he sees the field Sunday, we lose.

Week 4 punter rankings:

AJ Cole is back on top!
Our model did not like Trenton Gill's performance, whose punts were so short that they caused absolute chaos for the Eagles return unit. (Sometimes a punt can be so bad that it's actually good) pic.twitter.com/FIJ05tYIu5
RE: The rookie we haven't talked about - Bengal Dude - 10-02-2024
Rehkow has been a blessing. We've struggled in the punting game for a little while, but it appears we now have our answer.
RE: The rookie we haven't talked about - grampahol - 10-03-2024
I kind of doubt Rehkow wins Rookie of the year honors, but it would be kind of cool if it happened.

Well, I guess I @^%#$ called this one right. Cost us the game.

Heck of a call. Definitely isn't in my top 12 reasons we lost today, but it was a huge mistake to make.

Punting Ave 58.4 yards leads the league by 6 yards
Net Yards 49.7 leads the league by 2.5 yards
Brad Robbins should nurse that injury for as long as he can because he isn't coming back to the 53 anytime soon
After the Ravens loss with was arguably on Rekhow, somehow this doesn't seem to age well.

High snap didn't help

Would have lost earlier if not for Rekhow. Huge punts (50.6 avg, 4 of his 5 inside the 20) including the one that got us the safety without it we would have lost in regulation anyway.
The defense lost the game by allowing 41 points. The Ravens scored on every drive after halftime except for the one where Lamar just dropped the snap. Zac didn't help with going ultra-conservative-loser-mode and playing for a 53 yard FG attempt when his QB has 400 yards and 5 TDs.

Quality post. People focus on one thing and lock in. How about, you get in close for a chip shot field goal? How about if you know it is easily made, try on third down? That way, if things go bad, you land on the ball and live to kick the next play....like the Ravens did. This team, I swear....

Exactly. There's absolutely no guarantee Mac makes the kick, even if the hold was good. Our clown of a Head Coach asked him to kick quite a long one there let's not forget.
