  • Per other posts on here, it looks like he won the job.

    You know what this could mean?  Since he was a rugby player,   he could possibly execute a few drop kicks. ...Which is still a legal way to score, either a FG or  extra point.

  • it’s kinda like this - and he’s just our punter

    ?

  • Seriously... it does prove we’re not going to punt much (letting a pro bowler go)

    more importantly, better see some William Wallace outfits 

  • I’m just so unsure having a Rookie kicker and punter with how good this squad is.

    We eventually settled on a rookie QB last year. How'd that work out??

  • punting was our go to the past 20 years... screw that

    this offense? Freddie’s mind ?

    screw em ... we’re going for it , a lot.

    Yup. I didn't believe it when you called it. 

    It's a risky play, but you gotta like the guy. Hoping he locks it down for the Browns for some time.

    We drafted Seibert- he was going to win the kicking job, unless he majorly screwed up. FWIW, Joseph was 17\20 on field goals, and missed four extra points. that's pretty pedestrian. Dorsey saw a need to upgrade. Don't forget Austin won the Groza award as the best kicker in college ball last year- though that's sort of like getting on the cover of SI, or Madden.  Plenty of those guys went on to flop in the Pros.

    Yeah it's almost universal- the talking heads & beat writers out there are calling it "risky". I was just trying to be objective. The only thing Colquitt had over Gilian is a 9 year track record. Admittedly, it remains to be seen if Jamie is as good a directional punter, or has the technique to kill a punt inside the 10 yard line. Other than that- I hadn't seen Britton uncork a 70 yard punt last year. It's pretty obvious Gilian has the stronger leg, & fer sure is the superior athlete. (Just don't get hurt doing the kamikaze thing covering punts) Another thing to consider- Jamie also was the kicker on his college team, so should Seibert pull a hammie or get hurt, we already have his backup on the roster. Of course l think the Browns made the right choice- whether that proves to be true in time- we'll see.  🙂

    Yeah, but the Rugby background has him thinking like this: "Can't wait to mind phuck the NFL when  I show up with longer hair and tighter mini-skirts than Lady GaGa.  You gotta be kidding me?  I get to wear a helmet and shoulder pads when I have to tackle someone? And this league uses Sports Doctors and Athletic Trainers instead of Duck Tape and Beer from a Keg?  And minimum wage to play this game is $250K?   I don't care how much they paid Colquitt to punt the ball.  This job is mine!"

    LOL, actually Tom it's more like $450k now.

    Oh, and Colquitt should be able to find employment on another team pretty quickly....

    What's that look like anyhow?  ?+??              ?

  • For the longest time l thought it was called “duck tape” because it sorta sounded like a mechanical quacking noise when you peeled a strip off.
