atljokerz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 We can still get him in two years so he can play in another decade. He will still be money in the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jwall Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I hope it goes through...i think alot of people look past the kicker and we shouldn't....a good kicker is just a kick away from winning a game...i think we will have alot of chances to win games next year and i think it will lay in our kickers foot cuz i dont see us running away from anyone like we used to...

atljokerz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 The kicker has decided everyone of the Pats. SuperBowl games I think... The ones they one and this last one against the Giants.. If they had Vinny they would have nailed the 47 yarder they were scared to attempt and lost.. (Although Giants D played out of their minds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljbo Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 if thisis true ......If we are not over paying him....Im so glad....i like mort but yooo we need a kicker who can kick 48 + yard field goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljokerz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Anyone know of any sites to get a list of updated signings.. Scout.com has a list but not updating for some reason. I know not all the signings are set in stone but some are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwall Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Brown blasts them up to 60...i think he hit a 63 yarder to beat the Rams a year or two ago dont quote me on that but i think it was tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljokerz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I thought so too, but they say is long is only 58 (I can live with that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwall Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 58 is fine with me also...so if we can get within thr 35-40 yard range he is at least in range to attempt it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Affonso Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Looks like I will be changing the last pick in my mock draft. I like Josh Brown a lot, and I am glad that they adressed one of our biggest needs first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljokerz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Brown is 72 for 77 from inside 40 yards and has only missed 29 out of 145. Might have the biggest impact on the team if we could get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atljokerz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It looks as if all is quiet. No signings or reports on profootballtalk.com since around 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonfalcon Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 This shows the FO are really looking at our team and making excellent decisions. Kicker has been a problem for several seasons now and cost us a few games.I guess being strong up the middle also includes Kicker, good news and fingers crossed.

atljokerz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Saw this on another message here on the boards londonThe Falcons have contacted free agent Michael Turner.The Falcons signing Turner would likely take them out of the running for Darren McFadden at No. 3. He'd be an excellent fit in new OC Mike Mularkey's power run game. It doesn't sound like will Atlanta have much competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwall Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I dont know if we should sign Turner it's going to be alot im affraid of...Foster or Brown would have been nice in my opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need power backs not more scat backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljokerz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 True but if that was the case you go get DMC or Mendenhall. Plus I heard on sirius that Turner has 3 of the longest 11 runs in Charger history in only 4 years. He has been behind LT so not too much action and prob. not as much as the other two you mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner got lots of work at San Diego, as he and Tomlinson basically split carries 70/30 during Turners tenure there. McFadden is not a powerback either. Turner is an outstanding fit, and I don't think that he will be asked to carry the ball 25-32 times a game because we still have Norwood who is a playmaker, so he will get some carries. I would also expect Norwood to be used in more of a Reggie Bush type way...like lots of HB screens and stuff, just different ways to get him the ball.
