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.

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

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.
