Bills tried out 3 kickers today

Probably a very wise idea to have a kicker stashed on the practice squad during this COVID-19 age. You are taking a big gamble if you don't - can't be caught with your pants down & no kicker ready to just plug into the line up (someone comfortable with theĀ holders & snappers)Ā if you want to be a contender - no room to give away any games due to lack of a competent kicker (well - at least semi competent),

There's a quarantine period I believe...so they couldn't join the team right away

Bass better be the real deal.. Heā€™s on my fantasy team šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Iā€™ve been planning my slogan for his made kicks all year.Ā 
I think Iā€™m going with hook, line, and sinker everytime he makes a kick. Haush money was nice. Carpenter was omg omg omg I hate you. I didnā€™t have anything for Lindell but I liked him. I wonā€™t go into any others.Ā

Yeah ,but they have to pass Covid testing: can take a couple daysĀ 

Not only that. Don't forget if it is a home game. NYS quarantine is 14 days for 90+ percent of the country. Exactly how will players from other teams pass quarantine? Or is the state law only for the common smuck?

Doesn't it depend on which state you travel from?

Ā 

I expect they will define the quarantine to include the team's hotel and the stadium, but the traveling team members will not be (supposedly) allowed to bop about getting manicures and Chicken wings.

It is "only for the common schmuck" in a sense - but then, the common schmucks aren't getting such frequent testing.Ā  It does torque me off because they didn't allow exemptions for universities also doing arrival and frequent surveillance testing, but it "is what it is" šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Ā 

I think there's some prolonged protocol to get someone into the building to practice now....so "just pick one up" in time for Sunday is a No Go

SoĀ they are lining up a second kicker.Ā  I would imagine they will need a second punter, do they have one in mind?Ā  That Lachlin guy, or Vedvik?Ā  When does the PS get finalized?

Ā 

Sorry for all the questions. :)Ā 

Ā 

Vedvik could have done both. Badly, but he could have done them..

Remember the no punt game, this is the no punt season!

I like this, but did we change out McDermott with a non-conservative coach when I wasn't looking?Ā  Is Sean comingĀ down with Riverboat Ron Syndrome?

That's what I'm thinking.Ā  Have several try out, keep a few names and phone numbers on your rolodex, or however they do that now in the computer age

As Hapless said, most common schmucks don't get tested regularly like NFL players / employees do. Also, there is an out for essential workers coming from out of state. If they get tested upon arrival, they are not required to quarantine after the results come back as negative.Ā Since I'm starting a new job in the Syracuse area next week immediately after arriving from CA, I called the NYS covid hot line just to confirm I can do that and was given approval. I don't know if I would consider myself essential, but the definition applies so I'm going with it.

I flew into BUF 2 weeks ago and filled out some form when we landed. But nothing is being checked. I flew back out 3 days later.

maybe he can have a section of fans in the endzone like the Raiders but call it the "Bass Hole"?

Oh I like that too.. Has to be each end zone though since heā€™ll kick to both sides. Thatā€™ll make tv real quick. 52 yarder right down the middle in the bass hole..Ā

Hmmmm, seems to me someone wanted to keep 2 punters and 2 kickers on the 53 for this very reason.Ā

Yeah, but we all realized it was a stupid idea and nobody took it seriously
