I thought I heard LaFleur say today they brought in somebody named Nick for a tryout as a replacement kicker. I can't find a last name. Anybody know who this might be?
Can Scott kick a little bit if necessary? Or who is the Packers emergency kicker?What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

Nick Vogel. Kicked for UAB. He's been taking Covid tests all week so he would be eligible.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostI thought I heard LaFleur say today they brought in somebody named Nick for a tryout as a replacement kicker.

I wonder if they sign Vogel to the 53 for kickoffs. He supposedly has a big leg, but I wouldn't trust a rookie from UAB to kick outdoors in windy Lambeau.
Jones and King will be out, I assume Kirksey and Lazard are too. The SF game is 5 days later, but I'd argue beating MIN is more important since it's a game they should win plus it's a division game. MLF has shown they aren't going to start players who have soft-tissue injuries and then put them on a plane a few days later to do it again. With all the injured players this year, it's definitely a war of attrition so getting healthier is going to be key down the stretch.
As for MIN, their defense is a shell of what it was -- Hunter on IR, Ngakoe traded, Barr on IR, most of the CBs banged up -- so there should be a lot of points scored in this one. They don't have a pass rusher that scares you, and unless they send Kendricks with a safety I don't know who they send on a double A-gap blitz.
It's the GB defense I'm concerned with. The MIN offense goes as Dalvin Cook does. If he's out or limited, they are easier to defend. If there was any game for Kenny Clark to make his presence felt, this would be it. (The Smiths too.)

Looks like they're going with Crosby. Wouldn't be surprised if they have Scott handling kickoffs.

Forgot to mention, the kicker the #Packers worked out Friday is Nick Vogel. By not signing him even to the PS means they are pretty sure Crosby will be good for #49ers Thurs. night. If they want someone else they would have to start his testing today for him to be ready for SF.I can't run no more

This is the best comment this month! Happy HalloweenOriginally posted by CaptainKickass View PostI also wish Kamal Martin were a kicker so his nickname could be Kamal ToeAll tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.
