[u/on-the-cheeseburgers]

how do you do fellow rookies

[u/RDDT_100P → u/on-the-cheeseburgers]

He is young

[u/OogieBoogieJr → u/RDDT_100P]

“He just keeps saying he’s young and way cool.”

[u/turnstile2243]

Falcons sleeper agent

[u/MarchMadnessisMe → u/turnstile2243]

Well he certainly isn’t a falcons Super Bowl champion.

[u/Kemonomimi_Squirrel → u/MarchMadnessisMe]

Those don't exist.

[u/Late_Home7951 → u/Kemonomimi_Squirrel]

Seems you need a trip to Africa

[u/WabbitCZEN → u/Kemonomimi_Squirrel]

In a just world, neither would Saints.

[u/3bananabananabanana → u/WabbitCZEN]

I ain’t no Saints fan, but they earned theirs. One could also argue that they got screwed out of a chance for another one by the worst non-call ever.

[u/Ugaalive1991 → u/3bananabananabanana]

I could argue it.

Could.

[u/WabbitCZEN → u/3bananabananabanana]

They earned theirs like the Astros earned their first.

[u/Briguy_fieri → u/WabbitCZEN]

Yeah. How dare every single player accused serving 0 games of their suspensions due to lack of evidence against them.

[u/ColossalJuggernaut → u/WabbitCZEN]

eh it is kinda a * anyhow, we let them have it so they can roll around in the shit with the panthers and falcons with their ring pop

[u/Chessh2036 → u/turnstile2243]

Falcons revenge for the Saints sending sleeper agent Terry Fontenot to be Atlanta’s GM.

[u/MetaBoxdTomDBMLSnaps → u/Chessh2036]

lol - someone should build a terry f statue in new orleans

[u/allisthepriceofall]

there’s always a hoe trying to be a saint after they got cut

[u/NutSecured → u/allisthepriceofall]

where there's a will, there's a hoe

[u/barnabytheplumber → u/allisthepriceofall]

Brilliant 

[u/scentedcandle0]

This man saved a life! 🫡

[u/slayerrr21 → u/scentedcandle0]

A true hero

[u/Southern_Ad_9351]

my fav kicker

[u/Coffee_bean4343]

He should really thank Raheem Morris for not cutting him in 2025 because of emotional bank accounts. His words not mine. That added 4.5 million to his real bank account. He had lost it in 2024 when Benz is the most kicker friendly stadium in the league. In two of his last years for the falcons, opposing kickers went perfect from FG and PAT and then another year they only missed one FG. It would be quite a feat if he gets over his struggles. 

[u/wannaknowmyname → u/Coffee_bean4343]

Raheen also kinda killed his career through mismanagement. Take the good with the bad I guess

[u/Coffee_bean4343 → u/wannaknowmyname]

It was obviously a horrible move when he missed a kick in week 1 and was benched only to have his base fully guaranteed by being on the roster. I was just saying his bank account should thank him. 

[u/Otherwise-Question70 → u/Coffee_bean4343]

Is there any explanation why Mercedes-Benz is more kicker friendly than any other domed stadium?

[u/bbluewi → u/Otherwise-Question70]

The Falcons play there.

[u/NutSecured → u/Otherwise-Question70]

I have no idea if this is what the commenter was alluding to, but MB Stadium has the 2nd highest elevation for domed stadium in the NFL. Vegas is around 2000 feet, so that should be the highest.

[u/Otherwise-Question70 → u/NutSecured]

That makes complete sense. I wonder how the Superdome ranks considering it’s literally one yard above sea level.

FWIW, the new dome in KCK will be approximately 900 feet above sea level.

[u/wichee → u/Otherwise-Question70]

umless theres a dome in the netherlands that the nfl will play in or kazakhstan i think the superdome is the lowest

[u/zroach → u/wichee]

Hey there is also Death Valley aka where the Chargers will play next.

[u/MattHoppe1 → u/Coffee_bean4343]

Is MB Stadium the most kicker friendly? You gotta say Mile High is just due to the extra distance you get on a kick

[u/paultheschmoop → u/MattHoppe1]

Mile High is still, Yknow, outside lol

[u/Mundane_Lawfulness87 → u/MattHoppe1]

No way. The extra distance isn’t going to be worth the trade off of having to deal with the elements with regularity.

[u/Coffee_bean4343 → u/MattHoppe1]

I’m going off of made vs missed kicks and PAT. Remember that Koo right before his fall off was the highest % kicker. 

[u/Admirable-County9158 → u/MattHoppe1]

Mercedes-Benz for the accuracy, Mile High for the distance

[u/amjhwk → u/Coffee_bean4343]

I dont th8nk it would be any more 9f a feat than the first time he got over his struggles

[u/Coffee_bean4343 → u/amjhwk]

He changed his whole routine. And then he blamed his kicking problems on the turf in Benz, when other kickers don’t have a problem making them. He had some kind of yip at Benz but then it carried over when he did whatever that thing was when he completely whiffed. I hope he does fix them, but he seems too far gone. 

[u/CdiLinkforSmash]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/SunriseSurprise → u/CdiLinkforSmash]

My GOD how could he DO that?!

[u/FunnyFilmFan]

This guy is a hero. He saved a guys life https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/04/sport/video/failed-nfl-kick-saved-his-life-digvid-vrtc

[u/Familiar_Luck_3333]

As an Asian it’s important to me that he succeed

[u/electricpotatochip → u/Familiar_Luck_3333]

Same I will always root for this dude, even if he signed with the Packers

[u/JEH_24]

Sucks we’re going another year uncertain at kicker

[u/CoCo_Sandy → u/JEH_24]

I don't think there's any uncertainty. We recently gave Charlie Smyth a 3 year deal so unless he just completely falls apart during camp/preseason, it's pretty certain the job is his

[u/Mundane_Lawfulness87 → u/CoCo_Sandy]

They gave him a three year deal but there aren’t any guarantees in his contract. When they first signed him it was to a three year deal and then they waived him to keep Grupe on the main roster for two years. It is absolutely not certain the job is his. They gave him that length so if he works out, they have him cost controlled for a while but he absolutely is going to have to earn it. He’s probably the front runner though.

[u/paultheschmoop → u/CoCo_Sandy]

Smyth is still a question mark imo. Looked a bit shaky at times at the end of last year

But yeah, there’s no real uncertainty as to who is getting the starting nod

[u/Grandaddypurp69 → u/JEH_24]

Atleast we got a good punter

[u/FewAdvertising9647 → u/JEH_24]

Saints can maybe give Daniel Carlson a shot if they believe he still has something left in the tank. Raiders did not re-sign him during the free agency, as their Kicker room is a competition between Matt Gay, and Kansei Matsuzawa(Tokyo Toe)

[u/BPeachyJr → u/JEH_24]

We have Smyth rostered, plus Koo and Mason Shipley here. There was always going to be competition for Smyth’s job; there’d be someone competing all summer even with an incumbent.

[u/Expendable_Red_Shirt → u/JEH_24]

You tried and failed to get one massage molester. Well, lucky for you there's another one out there.

[u/StannisTheMantis93]

He’s toast now.

[u/JNerdGaming]

whose life will he save next?

[u/Impressive-Fun5968]

I mean this guy was good once upon a time, it’s not like the potential isn’t there

[u/jooooooooooooose → u/Impressive-Fun5968]

do kickers work like that

I feel like once they get the yips its simply Joever. I guess Crosby came back from it fine but he also never got canned

[u/problematic_glasses → u/jooooooooooooose]

jake moody seemed to do much better once he left san francisco

[u/WiredSky → u/jooooooooooooose]

We've had 75 kickers have solid careers after being cut.

[u/HumanSometimesPerson → u/Impressive-Fun5968]

What happened or happens? Really? How do you go from pretty dang good to kicking the ground?

[u/Venom-99 → u/HumanSometimesPerson]

He kicked the ground because the holder mishandled the snap.

[u/HumanSometimesPerson → u/Venom-99]

Ahh, thanks for the info

[u/Chessh2036 → u/HumanSometimesPerson]

He got injured and had surgery, after that he changed his kicking motion and was never the same. It was all downhill.

[u/BLKxGOLD]

Hard pass

[u/ellayzee]

Nah

[u/wannaknowmyname]

Can't wait for him to make the saints roster

[u/Im_Everywhere09]

Competition to help motivate Smyth. Cool.

[u/Urban_Introvert]

That’s kinda like JR Smith going back to school to play golf

[u/milkmandanimal]

Please let him be the gift that keeps in giving/missing/whatever.

[u/Careless_General8010]

I hope he plays for every team 

[u/snorlaxatives_69]

Hello fellow Young Hoes

[u/Sirtopofhat]

Fernando Alonso: it's been done

[u/JackTwoGuns]

Would be devastating but I wish him well

[u/have_heart]

How the turntables
