Hopefully not another Sippio

Interesting thing I read today that chiefs may consider kicking off with rees zammit. New kickoff rules may benefit from a kicker who can tackle. It's not worth risking butker injury. Is it possible this dude both kicks and returns for us?

It's not that crazy. Justin reid was also mentioned as an option. Toub said kickers were involved in 25-40% of xfl kickoff tackles. I definitely would not want butker in that scrum where you can risk injury.

Reid would make more sense but i seem to remember something about his leg being tired the few times he kicked. I'd rather have him at 100% as a safety. Teach Harry to push them towards the boundary until help arrives.

If Rees Zammit is worth a roster spot for other reasons, it’s a real intriguing option. Big if. Shouldn’t be hard to teach him how to kick off a tee. But yeah, if he isn't worth a spot id rather use butker in limited ways than use Reid

It would be pretty wild if Rees-Lightning was both our kick-off and return specialist....

It's funny the guy that people said would never make the team because he doesn't know how to play football is going to make the team at a position NOBODY knows how to play yet

He kicks it to himself quite a bit in rugby behind the opposition line , he’s perfect for this , if he can take/give a hit .

Love this!

I think people are going to be extremely surprised at his speed.


Like if a dude runs a 4.43 40 people will just simply write him off. Pretty good speed, nothing too special.


Um, I think he's just never trained for a 40 before. That's a specialized race. With coaches who do nothing but help prospects train for it.

This is a guy who ran 24.2 mph in a rugby match when the highest recorded mph in the NFL last season was 22.3

That is SIGNIFICANTLY faster they Tyreek ran all year. Like, hugely. I can't wait to see this guy in the preseason. If he returns a kick and goes yard the hype train will take off and fly like the end of BTTF 3

Just read this:


Quote:

"A bit disappointed in my 40," Rees-Zammit said afterward. "Last week, I was getting some really good times. I was getting low 4.3s, high 4.2s. So it is what it is. It's just what happens on the day. But I know I can run that fast. I'm not trying to make excuses or anything, but I know what I can do and I'm happy with the day and how the day went."


Chiefs got a 6-3 runningback for pennies who is faster than De'Von Achane




kiss the rings, feels weird to say it but there it is

carcosa 07-10-2024 04:33 PM

I am going to draft him first overall in fantasy!!!!

Megatron96 07-10-2024 04:44 PM

I'm wondering if Andy will try to use him in a similar fashion to how he used McKinnon. Offensively, not in pass pro. It seems likely, given his quickness and speed. Would like to see him incorporated into the passing game as soon as practical.
