They had several guys in for tryouts. They have not announced who they have signed as of yet. I would not rule out them having them use their punter instead.Yes, and we need to know who they sign!
Doug Flutie will be signed and drop kick extra points. Belichick doesn't like analytics but some of his people from YourFace told him about it.Yes, and we need to know who they sign!

The punter was actually ranked in the Top 5 as a placekicker coming out of high school and "only" Top 10 as a punter. But he did not attempt any XP or FG in college.I wouldn’t be shocked if they used their punter, but I have to imagine they sign someone
Not to derail the thread, but whaaa? Craziest league rule I've heard of. Is this best ball? 1PK league? How long are the benches that help/hurt your team based on this requirement.Replaced him with Slye from CAR
League rules require owners to carry 2 kickers(guess I could have done worse)
My league hasn’t done this in a long while but when it first started all teams were required to roster:Not to derail the thread, but whaaa? Craziest league rule I've heard of. Is this best ball? 1PK league? How long are the benches that help/hurt your team based on this requirement.
And is it 2 kickers at all times? I would say waiting to see who they sign would be a good strategy for replacement, but Slye has been really, really good this year. Surprised that with your league requirement, he was available at all.
I have lots of questions.
I don’t which is sillier....League rules require owners to carry 2 kickers
Reigning NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.Replaced him with Slye from CAR
26th year of this stupid rule.Not to derail the thread, but whaaa? Craziest league rule I've heard of. Is this best ball? 1PK league? How long are the benches that help/hurt your team based on this requirement.

I was shocked tooI don’t which is sillier....
this rule??
or the highest ff scoring kicker in the league being on ww , especially in a league with this rule ??
Sounds like a wannabe sports league? We played that for a long time and bailed a few years back.26th year of this stupid rule.
Just can't seem to get the majority to vote to change it.....although we have some new blood this year, might get it changed next off season
League must carry
2QB(play 1)....lost both Brees/Cam
5RB(2)
5WR(1)...we also have a flex
2TE(1)
2K(1)
2D(1)
Stupid, but it's the rule.
It's been up for a vote maybe 10 times.Sounds like a wannabe sports league? We played that for a long time and bailed a few years back.
Don’t get me wrong. “Wannabe Sports” is the name of actual leagues that have very similar rules. I wasn’t saying anything derogatory there.It's been up for a vote maybe 10 times.
guys get set in their ways
Honestly wouldn’t be at all shocking.NE will just go for 2 every time.
Dude, it's only the first half of this league rule discussion....Original topic hangs on to win a thriller over leagued rules discussion, 11-10
Wow taking me back aways but yes!I think the rigid roster req's are a hangover from the 'Terry Bradshaw Fantasy Football' guidelines from the late 80's - early 90's.
I have to imagine they choose ForbathKai Forbath and Mike Nugent were the kickers in for tryouts.
do it gradualllly.... My league used to be that way....Had to draft that way as well right?..... what we did was start small....first we had 2 flex spots....(not flex as in rb/wr/te but flex as in you can draft 2 players ar any spot) Next was ...ok we drafted this way but how bout we open it up after the draft? Now we can carry what we want...Last step...hasnt happened yet but last step...ok so now that we have it opened up after the draft how about doing away with the roster requirements all together?26th year of this stupid rule.

My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana. I said no, but I want a regular banana later... so, yeah.Yeah! If I wanna start 4 QBs, why not?! It's like that Mitch Hedberg bit. "I just bought a 2-bedroom house, but I think I get to decide how many bedrooms there are, don't you? "F you, real estate lady! This bedroom has an oven in it! This bedroom's got a lot of people sitting around watching TV. This bedroom's over in that guy's house! Sir, you have one of my bedrooms, are you aware? Don't decorate it!"
Aaah, the drop kick. Old time football reference... not to be confused with the WWE.Doug Flutie will be signed and drop kick extra points. Belichick doesn't like analytics but some of his people from YourFace told him about it.
Blair Walsh, Elliott Fry, and Matthew Wright were also in for consideration.Kai Forbath and Mike Nugent were the kickers in for tryouts.
Sounds like Forbath will be the guyBlair Walsh, Elliott Fry, and Matthew Wright were also in for consideration.
So, where does everyone think Nugent ranks for the week?Sleeperbot, perAdam Schefter, just reported they are signing Mike Nugent.
or really, for rest of seasonSo, where does everyone think Nugent ranks for the week?
Wk 5-9 look very favorable: @Was, NYG, @NYJ CLE @BALor really, for rest of season
I gotta think he's top 5 kicker for rest of season. I'd put him behind Butker, Zehrlein at least. Other than that I'd think hard about replacing my kicker with him
dropped Maher & Myers in 2 leagues for him (sounds like a Law Firm)Dropped Meher for him
The only one on that team with a "stranglehold" on anything is TomI'm not sure he has a Stranglehold on the roster spot.
The leash is short. An XP miss or bad kickoff and he could be gone the following week.I'm not sure he has a Stranglehold on the roster spot.
Funny but off point....I said roster requirements not lineup requirements..... p.s. I own a house that has 6 bedrooms. According to the real estate lady (and appraisers) we only have 3 bedrooms because there are no windows in 3 of them.Yeah! If I wanna start 4 QBs, why not?! It's like that Mitch Hedberg bit.

Most states require a bedroom to have a window or door that leads directly outside. What kind of dungeon are you operating anyway??Funny but off point....I said roster requirements not lineup requirements..... p.s. I own a house that has 6 bedrooms.
