If he isn’t healthy he needs to be out on IR. If he is healthy he should be cut. It almost cost them the game.

So Gay missed another kick. I won't be surprised if we see him back on the injury report this coming week.

He is hitting the shorter kicks but is struggling with over 50. It was a 54 yarder . Colts had a better chance to pick up 3 yards on offense.

They should call up the PS kicker and make Gay inactive. You don’t have to cut him.

That 54 yarder was ugly. Even if there was a second goal post, next to regular one, it still wouldn't been good.

Gay was signed because his expertise was 50+ yard kicks. And last year, after that Baltimore game, everyone thought he was ligit. This year, I don't trust him from any distance. period.

We should also never again game plan for a field goal kicker again like we did with LegoMan who could only make 38 yard kicks

So funny to see fans calling for people to be cut.  A nerd calling for an athlete who is in the top 1 percent in the world to be cut.   My goodness.   I hope my boss isn't that strict

I work for my State. I miss something I will for sure be fired 🤣

Do we have to "cut" and "re-sign" Gay to demote him to the practice squad?  Or can we swap out our kickers, keeping both on the roster, without having to do that?

Honestly, I don’t know.   
 

Someone like @Superman would.   Or @w87r would, but I haven’t seen him in a while.  He may be lurking?   
 

Or @GoColts8818 might know.  
 

Sorry I’m not more helpful.

Yes you have to release them and then re-sign them to the practice squad.  You can’t just demote a player there or teams would do that to get around waivers.  Granted waivers wouldn’t apply to Gay but he also would rather be free agent then demoted to PS as would most vets.

yup, every time they trot gay out even on an extra point I just say well it’s a 50/50 parlay at this point. It sucks that if a game is on the line I am terrified if Gay is called upon for anything longer than 40-45 yards…and from closer I am still nervous at best. Terrible feeling. Kickers gotta make those points way more often than they miss from all reasonable distances. You know anything from 7-54 yards. Anything over 54 and I’m just going to say it’s a crapshoot for almost any kicker.

Is this still hernia related? Because if it’s not, we paid a bunch of money just to have Blankenship 2.0. 
 

But anyways…

 

Chase McLaughlin is pretty good. Too bad we never had a chance to keep him- oh wait a second.

I suppose the team could always declare him "injured" (whether he is or not), just to get around the rule.

They can always call up the kicker on the PS and make Gay a healthy scratch.

They could.  But then they would have 2 kickers on the game day 47-man roster.  If one balks at having 3 QB's on the active roster, having 2 Kickers might get stuck in the throat!
