just wish he could learn how to drop it inside the 20 more than once every 6 games
.
Instead of licking the ball into the EZ.
If you kick from around midfield, and the ball goes into
the EZ, you have a net 30 yards, that's not good enough.
I don't care for Gillan, thought they could have upgraded here
Through week 9, his touchback % was 15.4%, and his inside-the-20 % was 28.2%. Week 10 on, his touchback % was 8.6% and his inside the 20 was 42.9%. Hopefully that improvement carries over to next year.
I will reserve the right to change my opinion based on the terms
But this guy isn’t worth a penny over the minimum. And if they pay him more than the minimum and guaranteed anything beyond 1 year add it to the list of head scratchers to the offseason for me
I hold my breath thinking its going to be blocked.
From my prospective, he drops the ball to low, Maybe 8in off the ground before his foot makes contact and has a slow windup. Then he tries to crush the ball. They better bring in some good competition.
They see potential, are trying to develop him. The contract probably allows them to move on if he stagnates. As the Martin contract illustrates, this is the going rate for punters.
were really amplified by BBI, but I also thought he got much better as the year went on. He's got a hell of a leg, and I remember him flipping field position on multiple occasions. I seem to like him more than a lot of BBI.
isn’t NFL standard from close range. It’s inside the 7.
This guy really stinks. Sure we could wait until the guarantees come out but why even give him an added year with high $$$?
I’m personally not upset with the contract - just that they had interest in bringing him back. He has no touch, and no directional ability. Those are prerequisites at the NFL level.
Amazing going from Wing to Dixon and now this. Giants play outdoors in a windy stadium and need a good P.
as I thought he was way too inconsistent, but he is new to American football. The FO must think he has a bright future, so I’ll trust their judgment until they show me I shouldn’t.
There was a punt, I believe in the tie vs Washington, where they really needed a solid one and he shanked it. Then the next week he comes back and drops the snap versus Philly.
I did not have a multi-year deal for him on my bingo card.
to try to develop and they feel they might get it out of him. What would more shocking is if there don’t bring in one or two more punters to camp as competition.

You’re correct. I had a Twitter exchange with Lawrence Tynes about it last season and he agreed.
and I hope they bring in competition. Felt like he has a strong leg, but just no directional ability, and seemed to shank one at the worst times. But he's probably not the worst punter in the league (maybe bottom half?), so at least he's a reasonable floor for a reasonable P contract.
Just remember that if a sports WRITER agrees with something, that something is generally not "news worthy" and he has to find something else to write about. And sports writers have to write about something every fuckin' day.

However, Gillan's inside-the-20 kicking noticeably improved in the second half of the season and is backed up by the stats.

I'm good with it.

They should have picked up a rookie free agent or maybe used a late 3rd day draft pick on one.
Lolll some of you should never be active in the offseason.
