Last I checked the punter is still considered a part of the team.

This smells of a cut and resign type of situation. Only with a tryout for a replacement in the middle. Based on those stats, it doesn't seem to make sense. Masthay has better distance average over his career than this kid does in his time playing and he kicked in warm weather. His average isn't likely to get better in the cold weather of Dec in GB.

Masthay has never been the best punter at flipping field position, but what he has been good at is angle kicking and dropping the ball inside the 20.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

The GB defense was #15 in yards, if they were 10 yards better /game they'd have been #8. Will Schum cost us 10 yards per game? Will he cost us 2-3-4 FGs this year?

Cold weather, I'm not too worried about; but it seems his coldest game was about 40 degrees in Carolina. So in cold games will he cost s 20 yards per game?

Here's my biggest problem: How steady are Schum's nerves in a big game or crunch time punting or holding?

Here's a super big problem: how do Ted Thompson and the staff know about his nerves in big games or crunch?

One way to find out his nerves is to have a competition, say, "Schum here's the ball, these next 4 punts v. KC will determine whether you make $500K or have to live in your mama's basement working part time as a greeter in Walmart."

The second part of this is how Ted opperates. He empties the cupboard of people with familiarity (albeit underwhelming performance) for a total unknown who on paper appears worse than your previous 2 options. This is the guy pulling the trigger on this roster the next few days.

PFWT mentioned something I thought of too. Can you re-sign a cut to save a few hundred k in cap?

We are all worried about the holding job because for years we had to deal with princess Ryan Longwell that always blamed the holder for any mistake and was so picky we had to carry Doug Pederson with our team even when he was like 65 years old. On those dark ages we effectively carried a "holder" in our roster.

Crosby and most of the NFL kickers aren't so picky. Granted a bad hold can make him miss a FG but he is not really picky about how the hold should be as long as it is good to kick the ball.

So I'd relax about the holding and really panic about the punting.

Are you scared? This is from last season:

(4:40) 5-J.Schum punts 23 yards to JAC 22, Center-48-A.DePaola, downed by TB-46-J.Lane.

Not scared enough!

I'm a lot more concerned about Dline and their endurance than the fucking punter. But hey, that's just me!

Ted Thompson signed Schum because he can ALSO play DL. Nickname in HS was Schum-bag...guy could really set an anchor inside. Masthay was given first crack but when he was continually obliterated by our recently cut 4th string center it was clear the team had to move on to get more from their punter. How could we in good conscience waste another roster spot on a punter who couldn't play DL?

I just hope Schum doesn't suffer a right leg injury in game or we'll just have to go for it every time on 4th down not to mention his absence weakening the DL rotation. Oh, and if he's our holder, I guess I hope he doesn't suffer any hand injuries either while he's rotating in with the big uglies.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from
