I like Engram... but I don't know if this makes the offense that much better, even when paired with a 1st or 2nd round WR in this draft.

key is that his contract will expire next year, if he lasts that long

adding a +1 to the comp pick formula

 

going forward, this will be an important component of adding cheap players to the pipeline

And Bass needs a good holder, which Haack has show to be.

 

He's really less of a "punter" than a "holder who punts."

I wouldn't be surprised if someone else is brought in and we see a "holder competition" in camp.

Haack basically took a paycut and agreed to uncertain job security.  I would guess they bring in another punter either by draft of FA to compete with Haack.

What is Haack's 40 time?

Asking for a friend.

Someone please explain to me again why we specifically need the Punter to hold for kicks?

should have Josh do it

they need to spread that huge salary over as many plays as possible

It's a pet peeve of mine and has been since it became a more regular thing.  Backup QBs give you at least the opportunity to fake or do something positive in the event of a bad snap, though needing 15 yards to score makes using the punter "not quite as big a deal".

Part of the rationale is that the special teams guys work together in their own group,

so they don't need to drag a backup Qb or some-such away from their time with the offense

Yeah.  I'm not sure how much that really makes sense given backup QBs take about zero reps in any given week during the season but it's football and coaches tend to just stick with something because "it isn't broken."

 

I was listing to Ron Rivera talk about where "Riverboat Ron" came from.  John Madden basically told him to stop being so conservative...it wasn't an original thought, it took a HOF coach to tell him to stop "coaching by the book."

Cox has been a beast for a number of years. Not sure how much he has left in the tank at this point though.
