Bears claimed former Bucs kicker Roberto Aguayo off waivers. Really nice move. He was awesome in college and is only 23. These are shots worth taking.

 

Isn't that the guy the Bucs foolishly traded up to draft in the 2nd round last year? I knew he was bad (fantasy team) but that's really surprising they cut him after one year. Like you said, though, good move by the Bears.

Yup. It's bad enough to draft a kicker in the 2nd round, let alone trade up to get him.

Agreed with the posts above. There is zero downside to adding Aguayo. If he can rediscover the way he kicked in college, we have a kicker for the next decade. If he doesn't, just cut him. I really like taking the chance, even if it's slim.

Not sure it's "rediscover"...just merely "RELAX". Kid had a ton of pressure put on him by the Bucs FO...not only taking him that high...but giving up a bunch to do it. Who friggin' does that?!? He just had the weight of the world on him not only that high a pick...but as is often mentioned...the pressures a kicker faces with men/teammates livelihoods falling on his shoulders sometimes. I feel bad for him...but like you said da...if they just brought him in and said "relax kid...you're fine"...they'll be set for a long while.

Typically when you get a victim who suddenly changes their story and starts backtracking like this, it is usually witness intimidation... I have to imagine it is worse the case where your attacker is world famous.

Well I'm sold.

My point was it's much harder to kick in Chicago than TB. I'm not really saying it won't happen of course anything can happen. Kickers need confidence. Hopefully for the Bears' sake he gets it back and does well.

Anyone ever listen to Dan Hampton and actually understand what he's saying?

 

"When you are the lead horse the scenery never changes"

 

On what the Bears need to do today: "get out of the gate"

 

On the secondary last year: "Hideous!"

 

On Kevin White: "he needs to watch every game Larry Fitzgerald has played"

 

On the young guys playing better than the old guys in week 1: "when young pups bite you know they'll be good dogs"

I don't think Tanimal is exactly a wordsmith, but other than the first one, it all makes sense to me.

Well, maybe I missed all of this in school as well as the fact that half don't make sense.

 

1) When would Kevin White have time to watch ALL of Fitz's games?

2) Get out of the gate QUICKLY is what he meant

3) Not sure hideous is a word to describe the way a football team's DB's play

4) I've never heard the dog expression in my life

Obviously not from a farm.

 

The expression means that when young dogs are aggressive enough and not intimidated by the older dogs, they will be good dogs and leaders of the pack later on.
