Finding those edges requires unconventional thinking — like maybe signing a kicker who is best known for making trick shot videos on the internet. Per ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the Patriots are bringing in Josh Gable for a tryout. Gable has been kicking for the Nebraska Danger of the Indoor Football League. Now he’ll get a chance to make the leap to the highest level of football. These videos may have caught Belichick’s eye… The Patriots have one of the league’s best kickers in Stephen Gostkowski so it’s unlikely Gable will have a shot at winning a starting job in New England, but we all know
