UPDATE: Sebastian Janikowski signed

[hedgehawk]

We can actually try 50+ field goals with him. Couldn’t do that with Walsh. Feel like it’s an upgrade overall.

 

[Atradees]

We have always had great running backs.

Kickers? Not so much. Hope he still has the distance.

 

[Jimjones0384]

Is 40 even old for a kicker? He's younger than Brady, I think. Same age at least. But hey, another reason to come on here and bitch and moan, so............... :2thumbs:

 

[rcaido]

Who cares if he is old...His head isn't damaged beyond repair like Walsh. He's a true veteran that wont be shaken after a miss or two.

 

[jeremiah]

I would have him in a Fantasy league this year, I would say he is top 5 right off the gitgo.

 

[kf3339]

He is up there in age, but so what?

I only care if he can kick a FG without choking. My bet is he can do just that, and not miss from within 50 yards. If he can hit a few from more than 50 we have a winner!

 

[Cyrus12]

Good signing. Worth a shot!

 

[Gibbo]

Sea....Bass!

Happy with this. Very solid.

 

[jammerhawk]

Interesting signing.

 

[TwistedHusky]

That is one term for it.

Another would be: stupid

Very interesting. I assume you were there for his workout. Care to share the details?

 

[PlinytheCenter]

I'll take it for now. Maybe he's healed, maybe not, but the man rarely faltered in his career. I'll take that over a head case any day.

This is an incredibly good signing and I’m impressed that our front office took a chance on this. I have a feeling most of us will be happy with what he brings to the table. He didn’t have the best year last year. However, I think he will do a great job for us this year.

With his signing do they treat it like Walsh last year and not bring in any competition? I still don’t understand why there was no competition. I doubt they use a draft pick on a kicker but hopefully an undrafted FA comes in to give it a try.

Completely disagree with this. Always had great running backs? How about the last 2 years? Julious Jones??! There have been a handful of great backs over the years...Curt Warner, Shaun Alexander, MarShawn Lynch.

There have also been a few good kickers over the years...Norm Johnson, Efren Herrera, John Kasay, Todd Peterson, Stephen Haushka. I categorize a good kicker as one who doesn’t make my sphincter pucker up whenever he attempts a kick.

You mean like Jason Myers, the ex-Jaguar whom we've already signed for competition?

:sarcasm_on: Yeah, the front office must be stupid, whatever. Everything they do sucks, well at least that seems to be your constant view. :sarcasm_off:

Care to suggest who else they should have signed?

Chris Warren, Ricky Watters, John L Williams, Derek Fenner, all played very well, David Sims, Sherman as well some may not have been Great but good or very good.
