Texans:Will meet with Daniel Sepulveda

I was screaming at them to draft him. Why did Pitt let him go?

Apparently, he's injury prone.

In other news, it appears the Steelers will part ways with oft-injured punter Daniel Sepulveda, who is an unrestricted free agent.

Pittsburgh signed rookie free agent Aaron Bates, a Michigan State product, Wednesday. With veteran Jeremy Kapinos already on the roster, it would appear the chances of bringing back Sepulveda are slim.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2007, Sepulveda has suffered a torn ACL twice, including one last season.

Is Turk going to retire?

He was injured last year, and they had to bring in another kicker who performed well, and Sepulveda makes big money for a kicker. I wanna say he was a 1st or 2nd round pick, but I could be wrong.

I think 4th in 2006 or 2007?

Hmm. If healthy he is a boomer. He would be an upgrade over Turk.
 
Correction, he's VERY injury prone, I wanted to get him in the draft, but I've soiled on him over the years, he struggles placing punts inside the 20's as well. I'd rather have Hartmann
 
Hell, an injured punter is better than matt turk! We can get casey to punt if he gets injured, hell he does every other position.

Turk to Jacksonville
 
This is not someone who should be truly considered the classic "injury proned" player. He has actually had THREE ACL repairs on the same knee........the RIGHT KNEE..........and he is a LEFT-FOOTED PUNTER.

The real story is that he sustained his first ACL tear at Baylor in a freak set of events. This is part of the story that not too many people realize. Shortly after taking home the Ray Guy Award, Daniel partially tore his right ACL in December of 2004 playing basketball. An MRI on the knee was read as "clear". Unaware of the partial ACL tear in his right knee, he played the entire 2005 season. When the NFL scouts came for Baylor Junior Pro Day on April 18, 2006, Daniel ran 2 very good times in the 40 impressing the pro scouts in attendance. Then 2 days later, while home with friends, Daniel hurt his right knee while playing basketball. Choosing to consult another orthopedist, the MRI from 2004 was compared with the new 2006 MRI. It was then that he was told Daniel that the ACL was actually partially torn in December 2004 and the new injury just completed the tear.

He then had the repair performed and pushed (against medical advice) to get back on the field only 4 months after the surgery. That was not long enough to rehab safe muscle strength. He then re-tore his right ACL (which had bothered him ever since he rushed back to play) and missed the 2008 season following that repair.

The last ACL tear occurred December of last year when he got tangled up covering a punt return. He caught his cleats in the artificial turf. He refused to leave the game and said he wanted to help his teammates, which he did by holding on extra points and field goals for the remainder of the game.

This guy is a warrior, and chances are good that he can avoid further injury with just a little more concern directed to himself. His other foot should be able to return to canon status. He would make the Texans proud.

Glad to hear that. I'm on board now!
 
Let's do it!! With Turk down in Jacksonville we need an good punter and it sounds like he's got some attitude to go with the leg.
 
The one thing we aren't talking about is his accuracy. What is that like? How often does he land a punt inside the opponents 20.

Good info on history but he has still had more injuries on ACL than I am comfortable with. He has to plant on his right leg to be successful. It is good he is a warrior even if he is not too smart with his body. If he is signed I hope he listens to his trainers.

One good thing is that he will now be playing at least half of his games on natural grass.
 
He is a REAL all-around athlete.........some would consider him freakishly so. He has the speed of some of the top WRs and RBs in the league.......a 4.40 40. In HS, he played QB and LB. In fact, at Baylor he was a walk-on LB. Then they discovered his punting ability, something that he had not done since junior HS..........and it's been history ever since. As Tomlin found out last year, he is a legitimate option as a kick-off specialist in the NFL when needed. Even though a punter, he has maintained this skill with continued practice over the years.

A VIDEO of his LB prowess at Baylor.

His hard-hitting, sure-tackling LB side still survives in the NFL:

Maybe not the greatest NFL QB, but his ability could still be interesting if used in occasional fake situations. VIDEO
 
Isn't Mason Crosby a free agent too?

Back in Madden 2008, my Texans won the Super Bowl after signing Mason Crosby and Sepulveda in the offseason
