Normally anything that happens in the preseason is close to meaningless but it is an identical situation as regular season for kickers.

It is a collected effort, the snap, hold, the line in general. But i havent seen where it seemed to be an issue with anything

SB Nation
I'm guessing it was just because of the lack of depth at safety, but seeing D'Anthony Bell playing into the 4th Quarter was surprising considering it seems like he's a lock for the roster. Rodney Thomas II was back in action after an injury which was good to see. He's still in the mix for a spot due to the Bud Clark injury. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Clark's replacement is not yet on the roster. Maybe it's time for a Jerrick Reed II reunion in a trade with TEN or a Nino signing after Week 1?

If he's pulling everything to the right then it's an issue (i.e. could indicate an underlying injury situation).

Yeah, they are all to the right. They wouldnt have him out there if he was injured would they. Again, its just the tip of the iceberg. Hes kicking everyday in practice isnt he? How is that looking?

I wish there was more information put out there. Whatever is going on they must not think it's too serious.

But i am a robot...


I was thinking kickers tended to fall off cliffs. I asked AI which seemed to agree, oh boy
