I see about 8 now I would dump saving alot of $$ and cap space. The trick for JS will be the see how to get some of the draft picks back.
Still hoping for playoffs but I think we have to win the division to do it as there probably wont be a wildcard spot for #2 in the NFC Wset

With a surgical repair to a ruptured achilles tendon? The magic 8-ball says no.

Sorry, not laughing at the injury but the magical 8 ball comment.
NorthHawk wrote:I get the impression that Lacy needs to get the ball very deep and get his momentum going full speed to be real effective. Some of his runs on Sunday were OK, but they were when he got a hole to run through before contact.
He's not at all like Lynch who could make the first guy miss or break the tackle in the backfield.
I know what you are trying to say but I think the key was that when he had a hole, he was facing smaller LBs and not bigger DTs. What I think his biggest problem is is that he turns his shoulders too much. E.g. he should be running down hill squared up to the line. Too often I see him trying to bounce it outside or off tackle and that just isn't where he is effective.

His (Steven's) FG average was a little higher last year than it has been for the balance of his career. As far as FGs, he has had both marginally better and marginally worse years. Overall he is at about 87% and last year he was a little north of 89% - the timing with the misses was awful, I will have to admit...AND, he did miss 6 Extra points, 5 of which were blocked. Point taken on the low trajectory of those kicks. His 5 errors led the league in PATs blocked..
Anyhow, his FG % last year 89.2% (ranked 7th in the league last year) compared to Blair's 75% (ranked 33rd in the league)- THAT is SIGNIFICANT. PAT's last year: Steven -82.9% which sucks and Walsh was worse with 78.9%. We need some camp legs and competition. The guy who took Walsh's place in Minne was 100% after taking over, though it is a smaller sample size. Kai Forbath.

He missed another makeable kick vs. SF and I certainly hope our playoff chances don't depend on this guy. He has one job, make those kicks.

I had a sense of loyalty to Hauschka as he was OUR kicker and I believe (in my heart more than my head) that he would have been good here this year and we would have at least one more W presently.
I hear you too, River Dog. I feel bad for Walsh. The Atlanta kick was a 50/50 ball and I cannot imagine how I would feel missing three makeable FGs and losing by 3 points. And to read comments like the ones above from fans of the team. I'm sure social media sucks for players, particularly those who have only kicked 75% of their field goals. I feel for him, but...
