Kazkal Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Figured they would have kept one until the final roster cut down date,They must have alot of faith in Huber since he's use to kicking in cinci and gives him more practice time.

derekshank Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah... I guess they aren't concerned in the least about his delivery speed. It's a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah... I guess they aren't concerned in the least about his delivery speed. It's a good sign. Better technique is coachable, and Simmons is a solid coach. Besides, there's absolutely no reason to hold onto Larson if you've lost all faith in him.

HoosierCat Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 One question: with Larson gone, who is holder on FG attempts? Did Huber do that at UC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whizzo Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 sullivan or jpalmer i suppose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UF_Gators_15 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 One question: with Larson gone, who is holder on FG attempts? Did Huber do that at UC?I was wondering that too! I doubt that's his responsibility for now until he's comfortable with Punting then he can take on holding for field goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 If i'm not mistaken Huber has holding experience.PS,Really though I think would have been worse keeping them on the team not letting them try get job some where else...Because when team drafts a punter it's pretty obivious they plan on moving on with out you.

I likey.I agree, it is about time for sumthin cutthroat outta this franchise, like Levi is done with us regardless of what he does, I just hope we don't cut Dhani! He is a gr8 vet, teammate, and person...he is Keith Rivers' mentor and can teach Rey Maualuga how to play MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 No way Dhani get's cut He's a top 3 backer on this team even if Maualuga starts game one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadraftnick Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 The Bengals cut Kyle Larson and Ryan Plackemeier, leaving only Kevin Huber , their 5th round selection at punter.I think that this was a very bad idea.I know why they did it ,so that , these two guys can catch on with another team.Both guys cut are NFL caliber Punters that should have been kept at least up when cut downs start and then one sould have been kept to the next to last cut.Who knows, maybe they could have picked up a draft choice if someone else's punter went down.There is always the chance that Huber gets hurt, pulls a muscle, or just sucks and does not make it to opening day.Then what do you do? And what about competition for a roster spot?What about Huber having to do ALL of the punting at camp, isnt there a greater chance that he will get hurt?-or over worked?They do alot of punting when they are working on special teams.I know that they love this guy but, do you cut all of competition BEFORE camp and take the chance he gets hurt or isnt what you thought he was?link http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/toug...32-3cfd65811cc8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPPYJAQ Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I love it!This allows Simmons to concentrate on working with Huber exclusively this year and during camps, which should do wonders in accelerating his adjustment to the NFL. I don't know why more teams don't make these types of moves. There is always an abundance of average punters like Larson and Plack. For what he does, what he's had to work with and his track record in Cincinnati, Simmons is one of the better position coaches on the Bengals. The other positive is it allows the Bengals to carry at least one (and maybe two) players deeper into training camp which is important in the Bengals needing to evaluate all of the new additions to the roster.

ArmyBengal Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I do agree with the thought of getting someone to share some kicks with him to not burn him out.They could have kept one of the two to make that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
