Browns sign kicker
-
I'm somewhat confused.
The kicker we signed hit only 69.5% of his FGs in college. Did we base the signing on 3 for 3 in Dolphins pre season plus a single workout here & ignore his "in game" experience? Almost sounds like a combine warrior to me.
Also, what became of Ross Martin, the Ohio kid who competed against Gonzalez in TC? He had a real chance of beating Gonzalez out & was a surprise cut to many.
As always, I'll support the player the Browns put out there, but this IS a bit of a "head scratcher".

Couldn’t agree more Mike. He’s much worse than 69% at 40+ too. With Santos out there this one blows my mind. Zane was great Inc work outs too but in real games he sucked. Let’s hope we are wrong on this.

As an aside.... Zane hit 83% of his FGs.

There was a reason we drafted Zane- he won the Groza Award as the best kicker in college football. However, IIRC so did Roberto Aguayo and he's also currently unemployed. I don't know if it was on this board, and you'll have to be an Ohio guy to get the joke- someone called the area to the left and right of the goalposts as "Zanesville".
Regarding our new guy- looking at Steve's video- looks like he has plenty of leg, let's just hope it's accurate. Hah, if he starts messing up, he gets 2-3 games, and we change kickers again, sort of like changing your socks on a regular basis.

Start with an interpretation of what it is supposed to be saying. Sorry, I took French, not Spanish.

Well, that explains it then......for him to have been accurate in his kick, the goal post needed to be in the formation of a Y.....not and H. Like the bridge there.

It would have helped Zane if the goal post was as wide at that bridge, Gip.

If you took French instead of Spanish, then you deserve it...
He literally said "you have that sir right". I bet it's a google translation that simply changed word order and translated word by word.

I took Spanish years ago (but really suck at it).
The only thing I find more difficult than speaking Spanish...is spelling it.

Don't you say. It is a hundred times easier spelling in Spanish than in English or even French. Like German, you pronounce (thus spell) it the way you write it.

Every vowel sound is exactly the same sound every time. How can you go wrong C Dawg? Ah eh E O uu (or oo as in google).?

By spelling I was referring to the masculine and feminine nouns.
I guess I don’t quite get the gender assignments of the language.
For example a masculine noun usually ends with an “o” and a feminine noun ends with an “a”.

Hey, I can listen to the radio at night and get French speaking stations out of Quebec where I live. Though, after so long not using it, I can only pick up a word here or there.

They must be sexists to not allow both sexes to use the same form of language. Right?

This guy has NO idea what he just signed up for. Like...none.
You guys remember when we signed Cody Parkey a year or two ago, and literally the day after he signed with us he had an opportunity to literally WIN THE GAME for us, which of course he completely shanked because...Browns (duh). I'd be willing to bet that this game tomorrow will come down to a kick, and if that happens, I recommend turning the tv off, and reading a book. It literally makes too much sense NOT to happen. I haven't seen the weather report, but I don't think that really matters. If the game comes down to a kick, and you can bet your bottom dollar that it will literally have no chance to go in. It's just the way it goes.
