A reminder that a team can only bring eight guys off IR for the whole season, and that the Niners hit that limit last year resulting in Ridgeway unable to come off IR.

Yes, very good point. But I'm in favor of keeping the veteran kicker all year if things are going well and just essentially redshirting Moody.

I would love to sign him as a P to replace Wish. Wish is insanely overrated. Araiza was innocent but nobody is going to touch him, sucks for him.

I said we should draft him, and I still say we should sign him! I think he'll be better than Wish, and is a better kicker for when crazy stuff like this happens. I started thinking Araiza after Gould got hurt in pre-game last year. And look, it happened again!
Also Chargers just traded Dustin Hopkins, to the Browns, for a 7th round pick...
Browns just cut their 4th round kicker from 2022 Cade York.

if Moody is it great, if he isn't we move on. I think he probably deserves a shot to kick in the regular season, and if it sucks we go from there. So the way I see it, we need maybe a 1 week or 2 week fill in, depending on how long Jake is out. Zane would be it, but he is also out.

The situation just sucks all around. I feel like we are most cursed team ever with injuries.

Who loses four quarterbacks in one season? Who loses two kickers in preseason?

It's f----n insane

Facts. There's a thread out there if you need to vent. LOL

Oh noo. Not that thread
I'm down to get rid of Wish. He's only good when it's a short field but if he has to punt from like their own 20-30, it's awful.

i miss Andy Lee. Dude could flip the field no problem.

ALL I know is that I wanted McPherson.. and yes, I too wanted Araiza during the draft..

I invite you to check out Isaac Punts on YT or simply McAfee, they both are/were kickers, and they feel Wish is a flat out beast
We're working out Vizcaino and Russolino.

I'd very much prefer Russolino. I saw him kick plenty in the XFL for my local team (Arlington Renegades) and he was good. 16/19 with a long of 56. He should be able to get on the PS no problem. I'd feel comfortable with him.

FOOTBALL IS LIFE!

I want Russolino.. but my gut tells me they go with Vizcaino since he kicked with us one game years ago. Dude didn't have a great camp and got cut by the kicker-needy Cowboys.. I think it's been almost a year since he kicked in a real game. Russolino was kicking for the XFL Champions earlier this year.

They rarely go with who I want.. so I'll be pleasantly surprised if it happens.

this is why we should've spent a 1st rounder not a 3rd rounder on a kicker.
