Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

Gano getting snubbed

Heather Dinich was reporting that Gano got snubbed out of the senior bowl roster. Now I care about the Senior Bowl as much as I care about the Pro-Bowl. Not much. However, how do you NOT invite the Lou Groza award winner, and not to mention one of the best punters in the nation. Gano should be furious but instead has a good attitude about playing in the East-West shrine game.

 

Any thoughts on if a team is dumb enough to draft a kicker/punter in the Draft if they would draft Gano?

I've got no beef if my pro team drafts a kicker

But that’s Rounds 5-7 are for. (Maybe round 4 at the earliest)

I'm pretty dumb, and I'd draft Gano.

One player for two roster spots, and he kicks touchbacks on kickoffs. I was the guy in the crowd making money signs at the Champs Bowl when he nailed those punts. In the garnet shirt. Singing the warchant.

“We would rather not get into discussing guys we don’t invite and would prefer talking about the guys we did,” said Kevin McDermond, a spokesman for the Senior Bowl, in an email.

Gano a good choice

Gano would be a great team in need of a kicker/punter. I bet he will go in round 5-6.

Nick Folk

Kicked at Arizona when I was in grad school there. You could tell that he was a pro kicker even though he was on a middle-of-the-conference PAC 10 team. I don’t think he was quite as good as Gano but was solid and consistent during his senior year the way Gano has been. The Cowboys drafted him in the 6th and he has turned out good for them even though a lot of Cowboy fans didn’t like the idea at the time. He was a pro bowl pick and I think he has nailed a few last-second game winners since being there, too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Gano goes 5th round.
