Bullock's kickoffs are terrible. He won't be long for this team in my opinion. Probably his last season.
BS, he had plenty of opportunities but when you shank 2 extra points and the guy you are up against doesn't miss, including a 52 yarder, you aren't making the team.
Here's to hoping he does well…but I agree, zero confidence in him when he is kicking beyond 40 yds. And getting more touchbacks is crucial to minimizing big plays (from the opposition) on special teams. Sidebar, how is he so out of shape? He looks borderline obese, I don't understand how he is working out, sweating, and running around at age 23/24 and looks like he belongs on a hover- round eating cotton candy in Disneyworld. Seriously perplexing.

I know some people are still bitter, but Bullock didn't do anything to lose the job and Boswell didn't do anything to take it. I made the case when we signed Boswell that he really wasn't that good last year in college. He was only 14/21 and 8/15 from 40+. Different isn't always better.
This whole pee-pee game is infuriating to me. 1. I don't give a **** about Foster and his weak attempts to brand himself or seem insightful or intelligent. He's an annoying kid. 2. I don't give a **** about how butt hurt the local media is over him giving them the cold shoulder. Get over it. Nobody gives a **** about the media except the media. I wish they'd both go away forever. John McClain writes a letter complaining about Foster, like McClain does any ****ing journalism or Foster has anything important to say. Get ****ed. Losers.

As much as I like Labhart, it just doesnt make any sense to keep him. We have much greater areas of concern.
I think Labhart was an early cut so they could see if he passes waivers to potentially put him on the practice squad.
Yeah, that could easily be it as well. He's one I would have liked to have been able to keep, but the WR corps doesn't have a lot of room for anyone else.
I was pretty confident Labhart would make it, especially over EZ. Oh well best of luck to him and hoping he gets a shot somewhere else, or on our PS. Crossing fingers.
EZ is probably gone too. My guess is AJ, Hopkins, Posey, Thomas, and Martin will be the receiving corp. I still wish they get someone fast to return kicks and punts. Someone who can't be cut from behind. Who's the fastest player on the team? Blue? Martin? Bouye?
