JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Not surprised, Moorman was terrible through the first three games. Chan is sending a good message that its about performance not reputation, something that wasn't so in the past years. Then nobody else should be concerned, as nobody else has a reputation for performance... I keed, I keed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Two things: The first is that I'm surprised that the NFL.com page printed Jackson's "WTF" tweet. I know it's shorthand, but it is still an obscinity and if a player uttered the same aloud he would probably get fined. Second, is that Moorman holding on kicks is more of an immediate concern for me with this move. he is rock solid there and I hope we don't see Lindell have issues. Will Powell hold or is there someone else on the roster that has that skill set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Zoltan Mesko (NE) was actually 3rd in the league last year with a net average of 41.5 yards.. he's one of the best punters in the league right now. Boy, nothing gets by you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 wait--the Pats punter's name is "Zoltan"? Seriously? If only they'd had him when Flutie was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 This isn't official yet...no such transaction listed on team website and no vtext yet received. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened. When current players are tweeting about it (Wood, Morrison, FredEx) as well as the Bills beat reporter (Graham), you can pretty much assume it's a done deal.

thebandit27 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 This isn't official yet...no such transaction listed on team website and no vtext yet received. If it's being reported by La Canfora, Tim Graham, and reacted to by Fred Jackson, it's likely legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Unless they plan on not punting anymore, this makes little sense... If both Spiller and Jackson are back, we may never have to punt again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice of Truth Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Second, is that Moorman holding on kicks is more of an immediate concern for me with this move. he is rock solid there and I hope we don't see Lindell have issues. Will Powell hold or is there someone else on the roster that has that skill set? This is what occurred to me after processing this move. I am quite concerned with this aspect (holding) of it as Lindell and Moorman seem to have good comradery and chemistry. Plus, Moorman was killing it with his punts in the preseason big time so it's not like his ability has tanked. My impression at this point is that it's a stupid move. Clearly Moorman has the respect of the locker room too if Freddie is sticking up for him. Powell better be something special or this move doesn't make any sense. I just looked Powell up a little more. He's 6'4" and 248 pounds according to his profile. This dude could be the next Shane Lechler (a beast punter who is clearly the best in the league).

Charles Romes Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Great move by the organization. Sends the message that everyone is accountable even untouchable vets. The shocking thing about it is that Moorman had a hall of fame career in the preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
