RELEASED Niswander waived

[gimmesix]

Although I liked what Niswander did last year in eight games, we shouldn't make too big of a deal of this. Niswander averaged 44.6 yards per punt while playing in the XFL before joining us, so we don't know if he can consistently provide the 47.2 average he had last year. In the first couple of preseason games, he average 50.3 in the first one and 41.5 in the second. Of course, he also was handling place-kicking duties.

Anger has steadily averaged more than 45 yards a kick over nine seasons, including 46.5 and 46.4 the past two years. He also has quite a few downed inside the 20. Fassel might like his hang time, his directional kicking, etc., better than Niswander's. All things being equal, I would have gone with the younger player, but I don't know if all things were equal.

Stupid move, this guy averaged 47.2 yards last year in 8 games...but I guess his injury did him in

Whether he was cut now with an injury or waived at the end of the season, he was done in as soon as we signed Anger.

Anytime you add Anger to a football roster is a good thing in my opinion.

Dallas Cowboys= the franchise run through nepotism and cronyism.

I’m sorry, but Anger isn’t an upgrade. Niswander is a phenomenal punter. Same goes for Zuerlein. Why is he even here, other than being buds with Bones?

Niswander gave us a solid punter and back-up kicker so I do not understand this from a logic standpoint.

 

[Captain-Crash]

L. P. Ladouceur wanted to know if he can come back now?

Wut ?????????????????

Exactly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess his back injury is pretty bad.
Too bad for him. He was doing well.

 

[Mannix]

They could've let him go sooner rather than work him on both punts and field goals to now he's hurt.....kind of sucks because I thought he was better than Chris Jones last year.

he was better than Chris Jones last year.

Jaylon's agent should go to the agent Hall of Fame too.

He do…

 

[jazzcat22]

If they would have signed a K at beginning of TC. Then Niswander may not have had the extra work as a FG and KO guy, possibly causing the injury.
My conspiracy theory says it may have been planned to warrant the release. To keep Anger.

 

[Pantone282C]

Yeah he was outstanding. But we've allowed our ST coach to replace our kicker who was perfect the year before, our LS that has been perfect his entire career, and now our punter who was a huge upgrade last season, all for his own guys.

They had better be better!

If a player is waived injured and doesn’t get picked up, how much does the team owe him.

All the rights of a regular if player?

 

[Praxit]

..wasnt he the punter with a good BOOM at the end of his kick?

 

[Pantone282C]

I prefer to remain in denial, especially this time of year.....

But we have no organizational philosophy in general.

We defer to the whims of not only coordinators but position coaches.

Then need to change things every time it doesn't work, which is always.

This entire draft and offseason was about Quinn and his defense. What if it doesn't work?

Get rid of him and bring in someone else who wants their own type of players? How many years does that set us back?

The Jones' biggest flaw is they have zero innovative thoughts of their own as to how to run the franchise.

They simply defer to the whim of whoever is close enough to be in their ear at the given moment.

They are always behind....and reactionary to what should have been obvious.

It's awfully sad, yet painfully true.

They have an organizational structure!
It's called Dis-organization.

They reach a compromise. It should usually be spelled out in the contract.

I believe they take on the contract and the team will not owe anything but the player keeps any signing bonus.

however if he clears waivers, then he goes on the teams IR list.
Then The releasing team will keep him on IR or they come to an injury settlement. And becomes a FA.

 

[conner01]

Yeah, I thought he did well as the replacement punter last year.
I hope Anger is as good or better now obviously.

They have very similar stats
I’d prefer the younger, cheaper option myself
But he’s likely not lost
Since he’s injured he’s not likely to be claimed so he reverts back I believe for IR

 

[unionjack8]

Stupid.

A punter who can be a serviceable kicker in a pinch is invaluable.

Fassel is proving to be a massive mistake.

He wants to be tge centre of attention
