  • 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 ?

    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.

    Obviously in Spain we don't use that term, but for the English one I'll stick to your ethimology, lol. I like it. Anyhow, where does its name really come from?

    ? Duck tape actually began as strips of cloth with an adhesive added - mostly used by soldiers.  Then, it was used as Duct Tape primarily in construction.  Today,  it is known as Duct Tape and sold by 1 company under the brand name Duck.  

    Believe it or not, I got that from my cell phone by asking what came first Duck Tape or Duct Tape.   You can try this at home unless you're Gipper.   His phone will just think he wants to play Duck Duck Goose Goose again...

    Nero should probably know- the original use of "duct" tape in construction is to seal air leaks in heating\ air conditioning pipes.  Dozens of other uses around the house, wouldn't be without a roll lying around. . Some guy thought it would be cute to market the stuff as "duck" and not "duct" tape.
