Packerraymond Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 Abernathy will sign to our PS tomorrow according to Bill Huber. He had to clear waivers today, therefore couldn't be announced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R T Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Interested to see how the last PS spot plays out. The Packers have announced 15 signing with the Kicker Ahmed reported to have agreed to a deal and it is reported that they also want to sign Abernathy. Not room for everyone at this moment. Buying time to see how Crosby is kicking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Can the Packers just pay Ahmed under the table to stay in town in case they need to open a PS spot and elevate him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on Denver PS last year before getting waived. 25, so not a super young developmental cat. Academic all-Big-10 every year. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/shaun-beyer/32004245-5937-6795-3e83-b81e7ce9703f They poach our aging/injured vets, we poach their prospects. Not the same.

Buying time to see how Crosby is kicking? Agree, pretty interesting. Seems like they've had time for Ahmed to be reported, so odd that he's not been announced yet. Maybe that just wasn't true? Maybe that happens later, but they wanted 16 position guys to have more guys for practice, and they'll add him nearer game-time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers have joggled PS players like this in the past, got to string along until they know for sure where Crosby is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refugee Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 They Beyer pickup is good, see if he can start putting it together. Not sure if he will help us but glad they are looking for a guy to develop. I would still like a decent vet who can play on game day but maybe Tonyan is healthy, Deguara steps up and Big Dog still drinks from the fountain of youth. Lot of maybes. I believe Marcedes and Cobb still offer some things on the field but their off field contributions are huge. Hopefully as leaders they can impart some wisdom to the young guys, contribute in what seems to be their last year and walk off with a ring. Absolute quality gentlemen but that hourglass is getting light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, what is the point of keeping a kicker on the ps if he's not one of your "protected" players? I asked a previous question about ps players, and people said the main benefit having them in the building to practice and learn the playbook, but would that apply to kickers? It would seem like you give them a business card and say "Hey, if you're still unemployed at the end of the season, Crosby could be gone then and we'd love to have you back".

The kicker and the holder have to be on the same page. Bringing a kicker in with a holder he isn't comfortable with doesn't sound workable to me.

packfanfb Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Packers just bounced Gafford from the PS in favor of Abernathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
