    We sighed kicker Stephen Gostkowski.

    That guy’s just speculating on signing Gostkowski. I don’t see it happening because he doesn’t fit the Braveheart kicking room at all.

    Maybe not. There is a question mark there.

    Which is why I added the 2nd post.

    yup lol

  • In taking a bit of a closer look at Chase, the misses early in 2019 all came in his first four games in the NFL. It makes the career line a little dicey, but-

    In his last 11 games, looks like he only missed 3 kicks (with one being blocked) and 1 extra point over 19 and 32 tries, respectively. He's been with the team, I'm fine seeing what he can do for week one. Also hit two 50 yard kicks.

  • Lets stop the bullshit.  

  • Looks like Parkey has been released by the Browns.

    I learned something here. I always thought being placed on IR was a league specific thing, meaning he can’t play on any NFL team for the rest of the season. But apparently it’s a team specific thing, so it only means he can’t play for the Browns for the rest of the season, but conceivably could play for another team later this season when he heals up.

    You would guess that the college ranks, in all divisions,  could or would crank out more qualified kickers to fill the new NFL needs.......I guess not.

    Not that bad of pay any more ranging from Justin Tucker BAL $5,000,000/yr for the best to $660,000 for guys that don't even start.  Number 31 (3) is $808,333 not bad for a last place starter.

    Parkey FYI from Spotac :

    I don't think there is a lack of kickers.  There are a lack of opportunities.  Teams don't change kickers once they know the guy even if some rook comes in and looks great..  If it ain't broke, don't fix is applies with kickers. There are 32 jobs available and in any given year you might have 2-3 jobs that are really open.  Add in that kickers who get established play for 15 years, maybe more and it show just how few jobs are up for grabs.

    Pretty much the same for punters. Not a huge turnover.

  • It seems that finding a consistent kicker is as hard as finding a Franchise QB.. They are both on opposite ends of the spectrum so to speak...

    Dude shanked an extra point and even his made kicks are shaky ... we can do better.

    Let’s hope so

    Well....at least we've gotten a lot of practice at 'going for it' on 4th down.

  • I am not sold on this kicker in any way and I am shocked that our front office saw enough of him to sign him. I miss Dawson and I even liked Cundiff but since then we have not had a kicker that  was worth a pint of piss. Remember how shitty Zane whatever his stupid name was we had in 2018? Missed extra points and field goals ? What a piss poor puts he was and really I held my breath every time Parky went out to kick because even if he didn't have it blocked chances of him making it were still slim. We have had the most blocked field goals then any other team by far. But hey either way GO BROWNS and Fuck Pittsburgh, Fuck the entire state of PA.

    Welcome to the board ‘77. I’m pretty confident in McLaughlin though. He’s got that whole clean slate thing going for him here and for some unknown reason l just think he’s got the right mix of confidence and skill to succeed here. I think he’ll do fine.

    Not in 2020 - and change the year selector to 2019 or 2018.. Browns had 1 FG blocked in 2020.  Zane had 1 FG blocked in 2018.  I invite you to let the data update your feelings..

    Nobody's saying they're all-pros, but the salary for a notably better kicker such as the Ravens is roughly a starter at CB [$5M] .. I'm not sold on that either.  For the veteran minimum you'll get 18 or 19 of 23 each year..

  • Chase McLaughlin questionable with a hammy

  • Man-O-man we've got some frail kickers.

    What's the 72 yard guy doin'?  Maybe we'll pull him off the PS and get him on the field.

    As I've said, fortunately Stef practiced going for it on 4th down a whole bunch this preseason.
