The guy was phenomenal in college. Ouch, a 2nd round draft pick too, SMH. Hate to be that FO if he's cut. But they'll be like Detroit several years ago, just stick with their drafted kicker. But they cut him anyway after 3 games.

A few years ago the Eagles drafted Alex Henery who was the most accurate kicker in NCAA history. He had a few good years, but then he flamed out in 2014. Apparently Aguayo is skipping the few good years and is going straight for the flameout.

It's a longer kick and the posts are narrower. They may as well be patient with him at this point and hope he evolves

This has to be some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my Football Fan life: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...y-tyrod-taylor

Here is a direct quote from Rex Ryan, "Looks like a stupid decision to play him," Ryan said, "because I never expected him to get hit."

Who the fuck puts a quarterback out there in a live game and doesn't expect their QB to get hit? This tells me all that I need to know about Rex Ryan as a Head Coach. He is completely clueless when it comes to how to approach the offense. He is a career Defensive Coordinator who was given a few chances to prove otherwise. He's yet to.

Tavon Austin - WR - Rams

Rams signed WR Tavon Austin to a four-year, $42 million extension through 2021.

The deal includes a whopping $30 million guaranteed, a princely sum for a 5-foot-8 gadget player the Rams have desperately wishcasted as a No. 1 receiver since trading up for him in the 2013 draft. Austin is coming off a unique season where he eclipsed both 400 yards rushing and receiving, but simply isn't worthy of this kind of deal. The Rams under Jeff Fisher have a tendency to compound mistakes instead of trying to fix

I'll say this, Tavon Austin isn't worth that much with the Rams, a team coached by Jeff Fisher who still wants to play 2001 AFC North football.

To a team with quality Offensive coaching skills, yes, he could be worth that much. He can run the ball out of the backfield, catch passes and return kicks.

I'm inclined to give Rex and Fisher benefit of the doubt. Rex won some playoff games and was competitive wi the Cheatriots, which is more than the other AFC Least teams have done. Fisher has dealt with franchise moves and quarterback issues, either flops or old guys (Kerry Collins).
reminds me of Billick; they had great years with a healthy McNair. Or does that mean McNair was an incredibly good QB that made Billick and Fisher look good?
we've seen some pretty lame NFL HC projects last few years (Cameron, Saban, Spurrier, Kelly, Petrino)

Billick's best coaching was in the first half of his career. He won the Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer and Tony Banks behind center. He made the playoffs with Kyle Boller and Anthony Banks. Probably his best coaching year, 2002, he won 7 games with a depleted roster due to a salary cap purge with Chris Redman and Jeff Blake at QB.

Billick was (and is) a much better coach than Fisher, imo.
