Packers Sign Kicker

#Packers announce they've signed another kicker -- Zach Ramirez.

Apparently used to be known as Zach Brown.

Maybe we should forget the no punting strategy on fourth down and go with NO field goals unless absolutely necessary. Save the roster spot and have Masthay kickoff and attempt end of half/game attempts.

just saw this. tt clearly isn't happy.

why can't we just make life easy and grab a proven vet that we know can hit a 35 yarder?

but no, we have to go the undrafted rookie route, ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any proven vet that isn't with a team is probably proven mediocre at best. Al least until final cuts are made.

OVERVIEW

At Portland State's pro day, Ramirez did a 34-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-5 broad jump. Six kickoffs went into the end zone, and was also a perfect 6-for-6 on field goal attempts at the pro day, including making two from 55 yards out.

As one of the top kickers at the Football Championship Subdivision level, Ramirez was 17-for-18 on field goal attempts during the 2012 season.

At the Super Regional Combine held in Dallas on April 7-8, Ramirez missed just one field goal attempt, which came from 40-plus yards out.

Went by Zachary Brown at Portland State, but his legal name is Zachary Ramirez.

Is he hoping for immigration reform to become a US citizen?
Why the name change UNLESS he's gay, just married and took his lovers last name!

Madtown will clear this up - he is an expert across the board on those issues.

Packer Report @PackerReport 16s
Could #Packers bring in Carpenter and have four kickers?

If I were Carpenter, I would fire my agent for this recommendation unless Carpenter missed 2 kicks in their game.

they just finished up practice. crosby & ramirez 10-11 (both hitting from 60, 63...wind-aided), tavecchio 9-11

[denverYooper]

Legatron boomed a 58 yarder last night that would have been good from 70. He made it look like a chip shot.

Not unless you can raise the dead.
