We traded Tynes a month after we drafted Medlock.
They've already been competing for the job. You don't need minicamp at this point. Tynes would have zero value after the minicamp anyways. Chiefs made a good move because there aren't a lot of kickers in the league that are worth picks, and honestly I don't think Tynes was one of them. |

Does anyone know why the Giants released Feeley? I thought he was a better kicker than Tynes, but haven't had too much exposure to him.

Yeah, it sucks to see Tynes go, but its as much for personal reasons as anything...its hard not to like a kicker who can whip some ass.
I can only guess that Medlock really wowed'em at mini-camp, so i suppose i'll be able to sleep at night. |

I'm upset that he wasn't launched to New York from a cannon.

I'm so upset that I could barely sleep eight-and-a-half hours last night.

The reasoning addressed on this is the holding position for Dustin, switch holding for a right foot (Tynes) and a left foot (medlock). Could be dangerous to mess with that more than needed. Plus if Medlock had struggled during rookie camp, they would find a way to keep Tynes until they were sure Medlock was ready, later this year or next even. I guess they saw something to make the decision now and get it over with plus a draft pick..... The competition is over, at the kicking postion, next! |

The competition at kicker took place in the fall of 2006 and ended on April 28th. You don't draft Medlock (who according to Tynes in an interview the day he was traded "was rated much higher than the 5th round by the team"(paraphrased)) if you don't expect him to kick for you in September.
Trading Tynes now means we recoup something for him that we wouldn't have otherwise. It's a smart move. |
