Good memory @RSkinGM Yeah. I had thought it was 46 for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember he had a good leg but was a 73% lifetime kicker.. I thought at the time - He can't make it anyway so doesn't matter but sure would have liked to have given him the chance ! Good job digging that up Turtle . I enjoyed the reread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it's well know that the guy who wrote the article is more of a tabloid writer than a real writer - and this article just proves it. He's the reason @lavar703 said he was pretty much done with Hogs Haven and so am I. There's no reason for the article, or that point of view. Manusky is gone, write an article about the 2020 defense, the change to the 4-3, the differences that could provide and help, how the current personnel fits, does it matter that most of the current personnel has played mostly in 3-4 D’s for years, or so they better fit the 4-3 like some have proclaimed most of the decade? A lot of avenues he could have chose, but he chose the low road for website hits and retweets bc he knows people don't like Greg Manusky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sad Dan Turk passed away from cancer at only 38. It was a bad snap, not sure what Matt Turk could've done with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job digging that up Turtle . I enjoyed the reread. For years, we tried to develop kickers and punters, or just spend to get them. At one point, a quarter of the kickers rostered in the NFL played for the Redskins at one point. Now that we have stability at the specialist positions, we've been the worst we have been since Dan took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
