https://old.reddit.com/r/ravens/comments/cxijdo/roster_moves_thread/Honestly, I think the Vikings just handle kickers very poorly. At some point, you have to look at all the kickers they've ruined and point to the coaching staff. Mike Zimmer himself sounds like a real shit-head whenever he talks about kickers, throwing them under the bus all of the time and acting like kicking is super easy, so if you can't do it there's something wrong with you. I mean, maybe Vedvik wasn't great, but he sure as hell wasn't this bad.
I think you mentioned it: Willie Henry. We don't have much interior pass-rush, so to let him go was surprising. But he was very quiet in TC and preseason so... maybe injuries have ruined him. Guess they'll be depending more on Ricard and McPhee in that role. Intrigued to see what Ricard can do tbh.
Zach Sieler was the only other cut who I thought might make it, since we literally have Wormley and no one else at 5-tech, but Sieler was pretty bad in preseason after looking decent last year. Hope he makes the PS.
Who we kept was actually more surprising to me: Iman Marshall and Justin Bethel. Marshall was injured all preseason it seemed, and he's a rookie, so I thought he'd be a prime IR candidate. Bethel I thought was a sure-fire cut, since we would have recouped a 7th round compensatory pick with the cut, and I doubt any other teams would have claimed him on waivers anyway. Could have re-signed Bethel after week 1 after IR'ing someone like Marshall (so that he can be eligible to return from IR).
