two words... SHANE LECHLER
plackemeyer (sp?) may not get some booming punts but towards the end of the season he was dropping the ball inside the 10 when in position. in the eagles game he placed 4 in a row inside the 10 in the second half which could have very well been the difference in a W or L.
i love a good punter, feagles was the man last year but id take a guy who can punt a dead ball inside the 10 over a boomer any day.
go skins!!

I see a lot of people wanting the Skins to sign Jordan Gross but wouldn't the Panthers:
1.) Try and resign him to a long term contract before he hits the open market?
2.) If the Pantehrs can't agree to a contract extension wouldn't they just use the Franchise Tag on him?

Maybe because this is Julius Peppers contract year also.

I'm sure they can sign them both since the salary cap will go to $123 million.

No, this isn't Vinny or Danny. Those guys don't listen or post. He he he
My only thoughts on free agency are this: Don't blow a lot of money and get guys that can start. Cross and Lechler can start. Yeah Cassel is a far shot. My point was he can start, can Colt?
I like B Mitch's man up policy. If you can't practice you can't play. If Campbell or Portis go down who's up? I hear Charlie Batch is available? He's better than Colt and has a lot of experience. He's got a few more years in the tank then TC and can play until Colt's ready if JC should get hurt. Does he play the WCO? No, but neither can half of this team or we'd be in the play-offs.

Lechler is definetly an upgrade over plac. and when were pinned within our own 20 and punt youll see why. SLs a placement guy as well.

I think the only P/K free agents worth mentioning are Mike Nugent and Lechler. I wonder if the team would try to sign either one of these players. Nugent was a decent kicker, injuries just got in the way. I hope we get a solid kicker.

They franchised him last year and he has said he wants to try the open market.
Gross is the only FA pickup I'd want.
