Were You Wondering What Justin Medlock Was Up To?

If so, then I've got a story for you:

The New York Jets tried out three players this week, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.

They tried out former UCLA kicker Justin Medlock, former Illinois defensive end Jerry Brown and former Northwest Mississippi Community College wide receiver Michael Lindsey.

Justin Medlock of Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Rams, Omaha Nighthawks, Washington Redskins, Detroit Lions, Toronto Argonauts, and Edmonton Eskimos fame.

This is your daily Justin Medlock update.

*Note: My computer went out and broke itself for a few hours today so I've been twiddling my thumbs, and not blogging, waiting for it to get fixed. Now that it's fixed, this is me stalling so I can prepare some posts this afternoon.

Hey Joel

Any chance that when they fix the site that they just leave off the fanpost section. I’m liking the current style and lack of repetitive posts about mock drafts and endless speculation on Peyton Manning.

I miss all the ones about needing a franchise QB, though.
I haven't had my daily dose of "Why we must draft RGIII"
It's not even optional, you know.
Ugh

And here I thought we had options. I don’t know how to take this news.

We don't need no steenking options...
I will assume this post was by mistake

I don’t care about who this is

Worst thing about the Medlock pick is that we took him before Mason Crosby

Doh

I hear ya

Two 5th round picks in that draft from the Dante Hall trade and it was no secret that we were taking the first kicker off the board. Just didn’t expect it to be anyone other than Crosby. Ugh!

Hindsight:

Brent Celek
William Gay
Legedu Naanee
Nick Folk
Mason Crosby
Tyler Thigpen
Brandon Siler
Ahmad Bradshaw

Sure...

Just that pick specifically was painful b/c most people had Crosby as the better kicker, and it sure seemed like we took Medlock in part b/c of Peterson’s love of UCLA.

I’m not one to go back and look at every pick and talk about who you could’ve had…

It's fun to do every once in awhile, though.

For instance, I’d forgotten that Folk went before Crosby, too. And we could’ve had Thiggers for his whole career!

Joel, I am indded impressed ...

seriously, I’ve been DYING for a Justin Medlock update but was to shy to ask about it … thank you SO much for this!

Any word on Mike Vrabel?
I heard he is the next QB coach for the Chiefs
Ap....covering everything
Thanks for the update!
Yes I was interested in what Justin Medlock was up to!

Said nobody, ever.

A couple of years ago he was actually the best kicker in the CFL.

Put up very good numbers.

Best kicker in the CFL...

Every kicker’s dream!

In other non-Medlockian news...

Peyton can’t throw left which works well for us because we only have one receiving threat and he lines up on the right.

Or will it haunt him, like Zoolander?

He couldn’t turn left, it almost ruined his career.

Ah, excellent.

Any news on Eddie Drummond?

Ben Vereen?

just askin

Up next:

A feature on Brian Jozwiak!!!

How are those ribs feeling Brian?

I want to know ..

What is Laurence Tynes up to nowadays.

this is why you dont draft a kicker based on his college...darnit cp.

folk and crosby having much better careers
