This is via National Reporter for NFL Network, Tom Pelocero, the commander's plan to sign veteran kicker Austin Seibert. He is on their short list. They are in the works on a deal with him already. So by saying goodbye to one former Browns kicker and Kate York, they could be bringing another one in in Austin Seibert. He kicked last year for the Jets, went one of one on field goal attempts. It was between 30 and 39, and he made his only extra point. He handled three kickoffs. So very, very minimal action in the NFL last season in 2022. He was with Detroit. He went three for five, his longest attempt was short of 50, and he hit all 12 of his extra points. In his career, 56 of 62 on extra points and 45 of 53, about an 80% rate on his field goal attempts. But interestingly, if you look at made from 50 plus, just two, four, seven in his career. So he hasn't really shown a whole lot of length from deep, but these are the guys that are available. He's 27. They're also probably not trying to find the best kicker necessarily for next week, but someone who could grow into being their long term kicker that they could have around here for the rest of the season and beyond. So Austin Seibert is the next man up. Yeah. So I remember from Cleveland a few seasons ago, feels like he had a pretty good year then. But again, that's like five calendar years ago. He's been kicking around a lot of part time stuff, filling in a handful of games with Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, mentioned the one game with the Jets. So there are guys with more significant resumes. You mentioned Greg Joseph, who's been kicking pretty steadily in the league for a while. They don't seem to be interested in that there. They're very much in this cave York tier of guys that were in the league kind of and now aren't as much like this is where they're mining clearly. They like the idea of like young and potential like hasn't been great yet, but maybe he could be. Tamiza Med, no experience, Riley Patterson, limited, not great experience. Kate York, same exact thing. And now Seibert. That's four straight guys with dudes like Greg Joseph and others who have kicked in the league for years out there. So I think again, they're not just trying to answer the question who would be the best kicker against the Giants. They're basically saying who might be a kicker here is like signing anyone in any position. Sure. You're not just going out and getting some 34 year old to get you to the end of the year. They're trying to build the room, so to speak. So let me ask this question there, rhetorically, because I think that's at least a selling philosopher or a thought, wouldn't you then not be cutting guys after a game? If you want to think long term because we're building, if this is a recalibration or we're finding north as we rebuild or we're building north or whatever it is we're doing right now, wouldn't you be more patient? Like if you're trying to win the division and this guy's screwing you, you got to act now. I'm just asking. I don't have an answer. If there wasn't a draft pick tied to him. In other words, I, I really believe that if a seventh round pick wasn't on the line by keeping him till next week, he'd still be here, but if there's no real difference between him and Austin cyber or the other guys on your list, you're basically saying, what's better? Austin cyber or Kate York and a seventh round pick? You know they value picks. I mean, they've made them very clear. So I think that's why they did what they did today. Now, your question could be, why would they have been willing to give a seventh rounder up? And maybe if he came in here and he kicked the lights out, then it didn't matter in practice every day. He's crushing it and you know that he's good from 57 yesterday and he's good from, you know, 47 and he went two for two or whatever, then maybe they feel like, I don't care that we're giving up a seventh rounder. We got our kicker of the future and we love the length on the leg. By the way, there was a record number of field goals made from 50 plus in the league yesterday. Did you guys see that stat? There was a record. Yes. There's never been more kicks of 50 or more or even 54 or more, both categories made in any one week in NFL history as there was yesterday. It's so maddening when you watch all these other games, Chris Boswell, good from 50 plus saved the Steelers bacon. I think he made three six kicks in the game, save their bacon on three field goals 50 plus. There were three different kickers who had multiple 50 yard field goals essentially yesterday and Washington's guy goes out from 47 and can't figure it out. The type of miss matters to me. I know it maybe doesn't to anyone else. They just want it in and that's kind of the end of it. But when a guy's not, you know, dramatically off where it's like, it looks like he never had a chance, both of those, both of his kicks kind of faded towards the end, plenty of distance there. I don't know. I'm when someone's not close with like, I met a couple of times, kicked the ball and it's like, you've never kicked a ball before. That's what it looks like. You were out there, you won some kind of contest for Dr. Pepper at half time of a college ball game to win a couple grand or something. It looked ridiculous. I thought you're looked fine. I know the balls that go through the upright and it's because they sort of drifted to the right there a little bit, but it wasn't like, Oh, these are these are laughable attempts like Chris Blue, it's where you know, no, I don't think he's a laughable option. I don't think he's a guy that's going to make terrible kicks attempts, but making them is the name of the game. Sure. I don't care. So that matters and write that down. If they're sailing beautifully end over end and it's a nice loud thud when you make contact, that's all cool. But the most important part is when that thing sails into the end zone, it's got to go through those yellow things. Let's go to Chris and Hyatt's villain, G and D. What's up, Chris? What's up? Hey, why don't they just hired that kicker guy on YouTube? I've he he looks pretty good. I don't know him. But it's like a trick kicker, dude. He's like his young black guy, he does like viral videos and he just hits bombs from like 60 yards. He was the one that was in the UFL kicking for San Antonio, but he got injured in like his second career game. Yeah. Yeah, I forget what his real name is, but his YouTube name is like destroyed. I also again, like, I don't know anything. I'm just a portly fella sitting in a seat. Your boy would have gone to Jake Bates, speaking of the UFL kick for the lions last night. And I just said here, I know you've never kicked one second in the NFL. Just four years and 20 million, you're our new kicker. Enjoy yourself. You'll be here for four years. They didn't seem to be in a rush. They'll just figured out with Ramese Ahmed. How'd that work out? Anyway, continue. Chris. There's also one co-host that has still get to prove he can kick a field goal. Good point. 19 out of 20 field goals from 40 yards. It'll ever happen. It'll ever happen. Unfortunately. Are we still doing game balls and gases? Or is there a different question now? You could do it. We'll allow it. All right. I've got to give a game ball to Jayden Daniels for just being a complete professional and not folding. Even though he didn't have a great game, especially passing, he didn't look like he was overwhelmed or that he was morally crushed by just how good the NFL is compared to what he may have expected. So I, you know, and he running the ball, I mean, he's dynamic. I mean, Lamar, but with a little less shift, a little less shiftiness, but my gasses got to go to Cliff Gingsbury because I haven't seen a worse offensive game plan to start a season since like the, you know, the end of the Jay Gruden error. And I can't believe that, you know, watching other guys play quarterback all weekend who are knowing where they're going to go with the ball almost before the snap. I know it's going to take a long time for Jayden to get there, but he needed a little bit more layups built into the game plan and it just didn't seem like those were available. Thank you, buddy. I mean, to me, the only those predetermined we're doing a bubble screen or we're doing some of the quick stuff, it's like, yeah, the other team knows that too. There's got to be some kind of counter punch like every, every post player in, in, in basketball, you need one move and a counter to that move. If somebody sits on it, right, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored a billion points with a sky hook, but if you sat on it, he would go up and under. You know, there's no counter, it seems like, right? Nobody's afraid of down the field. Nobody's afraid of that kind of that, you know, 20 plus yard strike on this deep out or flooding the zone with this kind of receiver. It's, yeah, we know it's going to be flipped out one way or the other to Zacchaeus or maybe flipped to McClure in one time or, you know, we'll give, I don't know, we'll give Luke McCaffrey a touch, nobody's afraid and that's very easy to defend when everybody's in one place. Yeah, I'll disagree on not enough layups given to him. I think all they did was layups pretty much. I think they went too heavy in that way. As I said earlier, they had six completions behind the line of scrimmage. I mean, the first throw of his career was designed to be a piece of cake, just a wheel route to a running back, running downhill toward the line of scrimmage. They had a 1.5 yard average depth of completed target in this game. So I think there were plenty of layups. I thought Kingsbury had a decent enough plan in terms of the getting Daniels into the flow thing. It was the other stuff I had an issue with, you know, where were your in breaking routes to beat some zones? Where was the stuff in the middle of the field that the soft spot against, you know, defenses in this league? There was anything being pushed down the field and if they were taking that away, then there should have been more, again, in the intermediate area. They didn't have a single completion beyond 10 yards until the garbage time final drive on the 15 yard out route to Zacchaeus. Now, those were some of my issues kind of with their plan in the passing game. The seasons may be changing, but the deals at the sharpest rides are unbeatable as ever. Hey, what's going on?
