Kicking woes all ready ?
-
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 :
(not bad) look down here ↓↓↓↓

CONTRACT:1 yr(s) / $1,212,500 SIGNING BONUS$137,500 AVERAGE SALARY$1,212,500 GTD AT SIGN:$200,000 TOTAL GTD:$200,000 FREE AGENT:2022 / UFA 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.

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..

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.

Maybe I am letting the blocked kicks from years past get to me but i remember the blocked fg against the rat birds I remember the game winning kick against the Steelers in 2018 so take your data and your half assed feelings and compare them to all the kicks we had since 2013 and you will see the most blocked kicks.

"all ready" ?
I do agree. It's not a problem until it's a problem. Right now some just think it's a problem.

And welcome to the board also, hope to see you around ! Now you can miss a steady guy like Dawson maybe not lighting up the scoreboard with 60 yard bombs like some other guys but all in all a steady player.
When you have ""issues" with the least paid guys by position the P & K guys.......you might have a BIG problem winning some close games.
SO the solution now is.........?.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
Just another challenge & I trust our decision makers.
Who kicks Sunday?...

The Scottish Hammer
You just wonder with 00:03 on the clock and you need a 49 yard FG to win versus KC on the road what will happen with _________ coming off the bench to try one.
If he really was good he'd already be the kicker, right ?
So what other FAs are out there ?
