It's not too late if they can find a kicker they they'd like to bring in to compete. Teams sometimes do that during the season so they still have time if they want to look at another option. I don't think it's a bad idea.jackal wrote:Kickers go through slumps , but I wouldn't mind pressure through bringing someone in...
Its probably too late to do this this off season
My quess is Zimmer or the special teams guy had a strong conversation after the Oakland game.It's not too late if they can find a kicker they they'd like to bring in to compete.

How often is that player a third year guy they signed to an extension though?Mothman wrote: It's not too late if they can find a kicker they they'd like to bring in to compete.

I have no idea but I've seen veteran kickers get replaced when they hit a slump during the season and the team didn't want to keep dealing with it. Walsh's contract guarantees him $3,750,000. I'm sure the Vikes would rather keep him and see him earn that money but if they think he's going to cost them games, it's not too much to "eat" if they feel they've found a better option. However, they don't even seem inclined to look for another option right now so that's getting ahead of things. The point is, it's not too late to bring in competition if they want to go down that road.Demi wrote: How often is that player a third year guy they signed to an extension though?
Was another premature extension, IMO. Especially after his 2014-15 year. When will they learn.Demi wrote: How often is that player a third year guy they signed to an extension though?
Ive said before, he WASNT THAT GOOD LAST YEAR. Shouting is fun.Pondering Her Percy wrote:Honestly, there is nobody else out there I would want and if you release him just because of a PRESEASON slump now you're forced to either draft or sign one the following year and play musical chairs. Nobody out there has the leg he does, I can almost guarantee that. Supposed the accuracy was just a technique thing that they have been working on.
All in all, if Walsh somehow costs us a game, I don't see anyone out there that would've somehow won us that game. The kicker free agent pool is very weak
Yet the previous 2 years he was very good. Mason Crosby hit an awful slump in the middle of his career (worse that the slump Walsh is in) and I think the Packers are pretty happy they kept him.PurpleKoolaid wrote: Ive said before, he WASNT THAT GOOD LAST YEAR. Shouting is fun.
