If by chance Crosby does make the team it will be his last
I just don't understand those who will literally hate a man solely because of his performance on a football field, but that's on them. And I'm not referring to you, HRE.
Given his rock solid performance in warm weather and domes, I guarantee you he wouldn't even clear waivers before someone grabbed him.
Thanks. I was thinking it was 6 for some reason.As an FYI...only players with less than 4 years experience go through waivers. If cut, Crosby will be a free agent to sign with whomever he pleases.
I just don't understand those who cannot separate the man from the football player. And I'm referring to you, GoPGo.
There are people who will call Crosby a "bum" and other spiteful epithets just for missing some kicks and in the same breath speak glowingly of a guy like Janikowski, who is a great kicker who happens to be a shady human being.
Actually he called ME out. I was the one who called Crosby a bum, and on the field last year he was. I stick by that comment. He's a great guy, and well liked in the lockerroom, but #s #s #s.I don't care what "people" say. You addressed me. So show me where I called him a bum or said anything about Janikowski. I said Crosby's a DOME KICKER (which you agreed with) and his recent history of yips is a risk not worth taking.
You called me out without any basis.

A strong tailwind carried the ball 5 to 10 yards longer than normal, all three kickers said.
The results were:
Crosby: 10 of 11, missing only from 53 yards, to the left.
Tavecchio: 9 of 11, missing from 45 yards, to the left, and 63 yards, to the right.
Ramirez: 10 of 11, missing only from 53 yards, to the left.
For Ramirez, it was a remarkable performance given he had already been through a pressure-filled tryout several hours earlier and had never kicked at Nitschke Field. His leg strength was apparent when he drove a kickoff all the way to the fence on the north end, about 10-15 yards behind the back of the end zone.

Oops. I missed the not in his post. I wish to apologize to anyone who may have been offended.
Here's the jsonline story about Ramirez: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers-give-another-kicker-a-chance-b9983279z1-221116241.html
The story has a video of Ramirez kicking three straight FGs from 65 and one from 70
The kid has the leg strength - no question. But as the story says, how will he do in games. As for Crosby, the story says he missed three straight FG attempts three times this TC and when he did the third time, they called Ramirez.
It would surprise me if they'd go with Ramirez but they've already surprised me by cutting Harrell. I guessed the coaching staff preferred the "security" of going with someone so familiar with the offense. I'm glad they cut him, just surprised.
will only keep 1 for regular season.
6 days may not be enough to evaluate. I could see them keeping two for a week or two, especially if they let Coleman go.
Legatron is a punter for the Jags, Greg "the leg" Zurlein is the kicker for the Rams who can drill (the media tries to give him the legatron moniker because the media. I still hear touchception from those idiots), and Hauschka is the Seahawks kicker. Your post confuses me.I watched the Oakland vs Chicago game and i saw Seabass blast one from like 61 yds...i just shook my head and said must be nice. I also watched Legatron Hashka (spelling?) from the Rams hit one easily from 63 that woulda been good from 68 easily. I was like OMG where can we find one of those!! Kickers like that are weapons folks, and RARE. We don't need a guy with a strong leg who is inaccurate...i'd rather have a guy who's max is 50-55 but makes about 98% percent of his attempts anyday.
Drafted Sergio in the PDFL & just got word he was releasedSergio is no more.
Well now I'm confused. Ramirez got the call the same afternoon right after Crosby misses three straight kicks, yet they toss out the kicker who kicked 86.4% versus Crosby's 80%?Sergio is no more.
