A TRAIN 89 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 With the “frugality” thus far, $18.2M if cap room left and the assumption that the draft picks will be $6M-$7M total, my guess is that a big resigning is coming. Possibly for Scherff or Preston Smith. Just a guess, but they’ve done this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how his market has shown, a 1 yr deal looks like it’s in the cards for Big Hank. Doubt he signs long term this far into FA, for a player of his ilk and age.

Doc Draper Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If we sign Hank ( not that bum hankerson) do you think they pass on vea? If so, I hope we don’t sign Hank and draft the Super Heavy Weight Vea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no I won't) It's a buy low deal, with maybe a chance at reclamation project for compensatory picks next year (trusting McPhee long term is probably too much to ask for).

MosEisley Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Dollar store bargain bin free agency a little refreshing. Mo money to extend a couple of ballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e16bball Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Not sure how this would go over, but the Raiders just cut Marquette King, who is a pretty outstanding punter. They brought in someone to compete with Tress Way, so I guess they aren’t totally satisfied with where we’ve been in the punting game — maybe they’d consider burning a little of that cap space for a top shelf guy? I like Tress, but Marquette King is a weapon with his ability to flip the field with monster punts at times. I don’t even know if I would want them to do it. Just a thought.

Woz Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 First off is an article from Purple PTSD (a Vikings site) where they rank punters based on: Quote Short field punts (from your own 40 and closer) are measured as a percentage of the field they cover. So a punt from the 50 that’s fielded at the 10 is an 80% punt, as it covered 80% of the available field. Long field punts (everything behind your own 40) are simply measured as average distance, since those are the times you’re trying to boot it as far as possible. Touchbacks are a -20 yard penalty for obvious reasons, and blocked punts are removed. Taking their data, I ranked the 33 punters by both short and long distance independently and then put in a weighted average of (60% for long distance, 40% for short) and sorted them. Long Short Player Team Dist Rank Dist Rank Wt Avg Shance Lechler Texans 52.22 2 76.59% 8 4.4 Marquette King Raiders 50.56 6 77.82% 3 4.8 <<<< Thomas Morstead Saints 49.74 9 77.90% 2 6.2 Britton Colquitt Browns 50.40 7 77.55% 5 6.2 Johnny Hekker Rams 50.88 4 74.93% 14 8.0 Andy Lee Cardinals 50.05 8 75.38% 10 8.8 Lac Edwards Jets 49.67 11 77.08% 6 9.0 Chris Jones Cowboys 48.36 16 77.74% 4 11.2 Drew Kaser Chargers 52.66 1 69.27% 31 13.0 Rigoberto Sanchez Colts 47.54 18 76.92% 7 13.6 Brett Kern Titans 50.98 3 69.65% 30 13.8 Kevin Huber Bengals 48.38 15 74.95% 13 14.2 Michael Palardy Panthers 49.10 12 73.43% 19 14.8 Jeff Locke Lions 47.33 19 76.59% 9 15.0 Pat O’Donnell Bears 49.71 10 72.59% 24 15.6 Dustin Colquitt Chiefs 50.65 5 67.08% 32 15.8 Tress Way Redskins 48.45 14 73.42% 20 16.4 <<<< Sam Koch Ravens 47.91 17 74.53% 17 17.0 Bryan Anger Buccaneers 48.67 13 72.15% 26 18.2 Riley Dixon Broncos 45.04 32 83.01% 1 19.6 Colton Schmidt Bills 46.65 26 75.07% 12 20.4 Ryan Allen Patriots 47.30 20 73.07% 21 20.4 Donnie Jones Eagles 46.38 28 75.23% 11 21.2 Jon Ryan Seahawks 46.71 25 74.71% 16 21.4 Jordan Berry Steelers 47.13 21 72.90% 23 21.8 Bradley Pinion 49ers 46.61 27 74.74% 15 22.2 Matt Haack Dolphins 46.78 24 72.92% 22 23.2 Matt Bosher Falcons 46.88 22 72.16% 25 23.2 Ryan Quigley Vikings 45.45 31 74.06% 18 25.8 Sam Martin Lions 46.86 23 66.73% 33 27.0 Brad Nortman Jaguars 46.06 29 70.22% 28 28.6 Justin Vogel Packers 45.73 30 71.53% 27 28.8 Brad Wing Giants 44.95 33 69.74% 29 31.4 There is also PFF Ignore the overall score because that's some weird PFF crap. Instead look at the "Max HT" (hang time). Gaining 0.3s of hang time would be oh so nice. Seriously, if you can upgrade a position, then upgrade the position.

lavar703 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Yeah, I'll pass. Tress Way is a really good punter and he's also not an annoying person. I cannot stand Marquette King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
