Is there any chance our kicker is not currently on our team? overall Bullock had a solid camp... and he will be the kicker to start the year and I believe will end the year as our kicker

Didn't really cut the rookie draft pick. He cut himself.

What we need now is however performs best. When I die, I will get to shake Mr. Paul Browns hand and hear him say "Damn, you never stopped believing, did you?"

I figured this was how they'd go. Just couldn't see the justification in cutting Bullock.
Everything in this post is my fault.

I wish Elliot would have lived up to that 5th round selection. Can't say I'm a big Bullock fan but either will be a HUGE upgrade over last years Nugent. And that's what matters.

Guys put up great stats in college then all the sudden can't kick in the Pros. It does make it tough that everyone had Gonzalez rated as the top kicker by far in college.

I wanted Elliott simply because Bullock had missed a game winner in the regular season and another in preseason, and we've suffered through that too many times. I respect Simmons' decision however, He's basically saying he made a mistake with this draft pick. That said I'd still like them to take a look at Gano.

Elliott was pretty bad though. There is no reason to believe that he would hit game winning fg's from what we've saw so far.
Kind of hard to justify calling it a competition then keeping the guy who performed badly.

Gano would be cool to have a Scotsman on the team

Holey Moley...
Has anyone bothered to look at Gano's stats for his career? Sub 80% overall...missed 12 out of 54 from 30-39. How is that better than Bullock? "The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."

Good thing we didn't draft a starting olineman in the 5th
That would have been a waste

It's just that Trey Hopkins improved to the level that we didn't need to rely on the unproven rookie to man the position. So you are correct it was a waste. Stupid Bengal should have drafted a super-duper Alll Pro |
