Then there would be a star in the east.

repped for nice Johnny/June Cash reference.

Kickalicious was just cut by Detroit (Akers had a good camp). At this point what can it hurt to bring him in for a tryout at least.

[gbgary]

the winner will be determined during today's practice. should be fun.

It seems as though Mr. Ramirez is shitting all over himself at practice today.

[MadScientist]

Ramirez chocked big time and Crosby was locked in. Ramirez will be on the waver wire in an hour. Still wouldn't mind seeing Kickalicious in for a tryout.

Mason Crosby finished the day 14 for 14. Zach Ramirez was 6 for 16. Meanwhile, Giorgio Tavecchio is at home. #Packers

[denverYooper]

Crosby ended by nailing a 64 yarder.

game over.

Thompson has some egg on his face. Nice move picking up yet another unproven, untested kicker to challenge for the starting job...and watching him completely implode on your practice field.

Crosby always was significantly better than any of the dopes we brought into camp...even in a funk. Nice to see him end the contest with an exclamation point. Hopefully it drives away the yips for awhile.

Why?

Crosby...under the pressure of keeping his job...just went 14 for 14. In other words, perfect.

There is no reason to question that Crosby is the guy we should move forward with at this point. He's not the best kicker in the league, but he's much better than any of the scrubs on the waiver wire.

and last year under the pressure of game time pressure crosby sucked big time

even those of us that were firmly in his corner for most of last season knew he had to go

anyone whos been watching the kick numbers come in from camp knows that mason has been anything but clutch so far. he's had one great day and we're just suppose to forget about how bad he's been?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Actually, his numbers are pretty good in camp (84%)--especially considering most of the kicks have been from 40-60 yards. A bad intrasquad scrimmage and a rough practice really brought his numbers down. It's just camp though. We'll see. I've always been a Crosby fan. I think he's been unfairly judge most of his career because of the difficulty of his kicks (where he kicks and the distances). Last year, he was horrible though. I like him better than anybody available at this point.

No reason for TT to be embarrassed, KF. It would have been embarrassing if we went with Ramirez into season and then he looked like David Birney or Eddie Garcia.

He went on a hunch. Better to have it blow up now than during the season. Besides if Mason misses some chippies that cost us games before the bye, he'll be out of town on a rail anyway.

And the cost to the team is?
