Falcons bench kicker

Bad teams make decisions like declaring their formerly star kicker inactive and elevating a player from the practice squad. Could a team really bench a kicker after one poor game. Hey, wait, has anyone seen the Bills punter? Oh heck, why would you punt.

Tippmann gets his chance

When the Jets lost Alijah Vera Tucker for the year, they moved Joe Tippmann, a center with a scant bit of experience, to guard. He performed well in a tight loss to the Steelers. Here’s the thing – there wasn’t a lot of film on the guy. You know the Bills are coming with stunts and things he hasn’t seen. It’s like throwing at Dorian Strong. Make him prove he can stop you. It's like a QB, pitcher or goalie getting figured out. https://nypost.com/2025/09/14/sports/joe-tippmanns-move-to-guard-might-be-bringing-the-best-out-of-him/
