    How do all these kickers and punters keep getting hurt? They don't play, they just kick.

    Seriously, wtf? I suppose it's better than having a rash of injuries to actual football players.

    Maybe we are all just smarter....but Mr. T is a pretty smart guy. It may have something to do with paying salaries, etc.

    Based off what exactly? He's our 7th string receiver, and Clowney should be back in 2-3 weeks, making Henry even more expendable.

    Wow, that's a shot to Ben Graham's pride......he's now a rental until the other guy is better.

    I guess Graham is not the guy for the team, because he can't aim his kicks. However, if I was Westoff, I would tell him to forget about spiral kicks and go back to those Aussie rules end-over-end punts. I personally don't see why they wanted him to go to spirals when she shanks 25% of them, but can kick the knuckle balls 50 yards consistently.

    I think at this point from what I've seen during gametime, I would have rather had Brad Smith gone than Henry just based on potential. However, I don't watch these guys day in and day out, so it's not my call.

    I just hope this doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.

    Did you ever see the NFL Films clip of Bill Parcells on the sideline talking to the trainer?

    "I don't need him to play, Doc, he just has to kick."

    what if graham "accidentally" lets the snap go over his head for a safety or TD? because he knows hes just a sub and is done with jets and probably NFl anyway

    How can Graham be mentally right tonight??????

    He can't; I don't see how.

    Expect him to fumble a snap; expect a shank for sure; expect a blocked kick; expect anything, but to expect a stellar performance just wouldn't factor into the odds.

    You never know, he may be so ticked that when he is hiked to the first time he turns around and kicks it the other direction.

    Something is going to happen tonight that will make us rue the decision to bring him back; and possibly even more; the loss of Marcus Henry.

    Then he'll never get a job in the NFL again, and anyone who ever had an ounce of respect for him will lose it.

    Or maybe he'll have no pressure and just punt the hell out of it without a care in the world.

    hah - yeah, gotta love Parcells. He doesn't hold back, he's cocky, arrogant, and right the majority of the time.

    He also used to cut kickers at the drop of a hat.

    I don't get it, why not just cut the punter we just signed?

    Is there something that special about that guy that we need 4 kicking specialists?

    Ben Graham is a bum. I'd rather just go for it on 4th down instead of seeing him out there again.
