So this clown picked Lou fricking Headley over Blake Gillikin. frick.


Looks like he’s 0 for 2 on the players he picked this year.

I was vocally for keeping Wil, but at least we saved a decent amount of cap space and got a late pick for him, and at least Blake doesn't seem to have any glaring flaws other than he's now skittish.

With Headley, the guy has terrible form, his kicks are consistently low, short line drives with high school type hang time, and he sucks at placing it inside the 10. It makes zero sense.

If you compared Headley to the Jaguars punter last night, it was like comparing Michelangelo's "David" to the huge black hairpick that was installed in NOLA. Just night and day in terms of form, height, hang time, placement, etc. Their punter even made a key 4th down throw.

Since I was tuned out all preseason I assumed that maybe Gillikin was injured or something and that keeping him was a huge risk. But no, turns out he's currently top 5 or top 10 in the league in every important punting metric.
