Jake Bailey would like a word...Let's just hope he's not the best player on the team again next year...
Ha! I vaguely recall being mocked in a game thread for commenting that Folk was one of the best players on the team. Agree that he will have some competition for that distinction this year.Let's just hope he's not the best player on the team again next year...
Yes Folk was perfectly cromulent last year and Belichick seems comfortable with Bailey handling kickoffs.Folk is fine. He had a good year. He’s not going to be kicking any 50 yarders into the wind, but he’s proven solid at short and moderate kicks.
given that we’ve filled so many holes, wouldn’t shock me if he took yet another K in this draft and gave him a chance to win the gig in camp
I still have the scars of the "Theo Epstein re-signs" followed by "Theo Epstein resigns" saga.Fuck yeah, I love a properly hyphenated "re-sign."
"Too cute by half" is another example of ascribing sports failure to some personal shortcoming, rather than just failure. Like player x can't just be shitty, he has to be "weak" or somesuch.When you say "too cute by half", you seem to imply that they had Bass and Blankenship more highly rated (like many others likely did), but they obviously didn't. Sometimes they get it right with their scouting, sometimes they don't.
