You don't mess with the chemistry between a holder and kicker. If Dressler can hold, he should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Medlock was training a few other holders including Nichols, if Dressler needs to sit good chance to dress Flanders.

BigBlue Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 The way Medlock has kicked recently I am wondering if he is working his way through an injury or a pull Noeller and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 yeah if Dressler can't go then perfect chance to slide Flanders in, see how it benefits us and then when Dressler is back swap him and Lankford out and let Fogg, Thorpe and Walker handle return duties...would make us a stronger roster if you ask me rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickthesizz Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) will be interesting if they will dress Dressler to hold kicks. Edited July 31, 2017 by Gotmilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 If the Dressler injury is minor, I would absolutely DI him just to be the holder... Medlock wins games for this team Get Wolitarsky or Blaszko in to backup Lankford... Lankford and Fogg can share returns SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His current woes could be made worse with changing the holder now as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO not at all worth it for a guy to hold. That could leave us in a terrible spot if a WR gets hurt. We gonna have heath play both ways? Im not a fan in general of a player like dressler holding. I like the short yardage offense and holding to be done by the no3 qb. If you get to the point where that guy is your starter and he either has to do both jobs or move some one else to holding/short yardage, you have far bigger issues then short yardage and holding.

I just cant. Not with mo and wild and 2 rookies allready.... please dont make me think of not having heath too. Maybe in a pinch we see how jake thomas can run a route... Or go back to a FB set with trent corney in the back field... Any one got terrence fredericks number handy btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 If Dressler can't go this week it would be nice to see Thorpe run some of those fly sweeps. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal optimist Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Obligatory mention that if Nichols holds for field goals, we'd be able to open the book up on fake field goals. ddanger, blue_gold_84 and Tracker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Just a heads up, according to Tait's daily, Bruce Johnson still has another week before he's off the 6 Week and they likely won't activate him until then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree... makes absolutely no sense to have him hold if he can't play... Nichols can hold (he did last year when Dressler was hurt so him and Medlock already have familiarity) and I'm fairly sure The Fever has done holding in the past too... wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 So if Dressler is out, Lankford likely takes his spot in the starting receiving corps but do they activate another receiver or do they play Flanders? My vote is for the later. #FreeFlanders. SPuDS and Fatty Liver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Flanders plays Dressler as reserve. Save Walters some paperworks. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
