Seems like a good PS candidate.

Spent a lot of time on the ground at Utah.

So he's Bodine?

Eh. 
If I had to pick, I'd probably take Bodine. 

It's just weird when you look at what's worked for us drafting on the OL but then we keep drafting against type now. 

So strange.

He hasn't actually played a snap yet has he? I missed the very end of the last game so I didn't see if he got in.

If he hasn't played, shouldn't IR be a viable option at this point?

EDIT:

Apparently he has played a little bit. Well then...would still be an odd use of a roster spot.

I don't see Elliot getting cut simply because he's going to be financially cheaper, $90,000 per season cheaper than Bullock and pretty close in competition. It's really tough to cut Bullock, but it's dollars and cents we're talking about..

I just dont get how, they seemingly gave Bullock all the chances at big kicks and know they had a kicking problem BULLOCK WAS A PART OF, then draft a kicker in the 5th round (1st STer off the board) and yet now he may not even make the roster?

I feel like if you drafted a specialist that high, he should all but be a lock over a guy who was part of a problem you had the year before...something about it just seems odd.

He wasn't around long enough to be a problem last season. He misses one kick coming straight off the street.. That's not part of the problem in the grand scheme of things.  But to the bean counters of the world he is..

Missing a potential game winning kick isn't a problem? Hmm. Interesting theory. 

And if by "off the street" you mean not on an NFL roster for a week and a half

Bullock has aced the pre-season but I don't see them cutting a 5th rounder.

[Murdock2420]

Driskel in a cast makes it easy to place him on the IR and stash him away now. That should free up another roster spot for someone.

Core would never clear waivers...we cut him he's gone

Marv ball.

Spend a draft pick on a guy, then give him and the guy you picked up last year--who isn't all that great for his career--strict, every other kicks--then pick the proven average guy because he did better in preseason, even though he's never been known as anything close to clutch.

Man...you totally screwed up the WRs. You predicted all 7 make it (which they did) but listed the number at (6).

Extended suspension!!!!

That's what I hated about it. It was built for the veteran to win. 
Rookies need reps. He's only getting half of them. Seems like they'd want him to get as many as he can.

We know what Bullock is.
