The official Cade York #nohomo man-crush fanboy topic
-
On The Fan this morning they were saying that he struggled in the morning warmups. But he came though with a great performance! It's a bit early in his career to anoint him...but it doesn't get more pressure packed than your first NFL regular season game....with 13 seconds left...down by 1...and you've gotta kick a 58 yarder. (and an NFL record maker 'to boot') - When that thing first took off it looked like it was gonna miss to the right, but he drew that 3-wood right down the middle of the fairway. Way to go Yorkie!

LOL!!! Let's not get ahead of ourselves folks. Too early to put Cade in the HOF after one game.
Keep it up guy. I've heard he's listening to and absorbing what Phil Dawson is telling him about kicking in bad weather..

Had to be done. We are only one game in, and I just love this kid to death. I also expect to feel the need to express that more often.
Game winner aside, did anyone else hear the commentary team say he put one of the kick-offs between the uprights? It was following one of our TDs, I think. The kid was literally practicing long field goals in-game. How friggin alpha can a kicker get?!
An elite kicker is so complementary to a defense and running-oriented team like the Browns too. If coach 'Fancy' Stefanski keeps his urges under control, especially on fourth down, Cade could be one of our leading scorers this year.

Yes. He changed the football wood factor in Cleveland from balsa to sequoia.

That will be interesting to see, how he deals with a sloppy field and swirling winds on the lakefront in November and December.

Cade York was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week!

Before we annoint the guy, I want to see him make that kick at First Energy stadium. It was an amazing kick not trying to take anything away from the kid, but I read posts on facebook and people seem to think he is already a Browns legend ignoring the great Phil Dawson who won lots of games for us, or kept us in lots of games and was pretty much our offense.

Until proven otherwise, everything on facebook is fatuous posturing masquerading as cogent commentary

But can we agree that until he makes a pressure kick at home in those swirling winds we shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves? First Energy is probably one of the hardest places to kick.

Yeah, but 30 something yarders are a lot easier than 40's and 50's gumby.
We also gave them 3 points by going for a long developing, stunting run play instead of a QB sneak or power dive on 4th down from our 30ish.

Yeah!... might be the reason why I posted what I did

I would put his missed 54 yarder to coaching, distance wasn't the issue. After missing the 48 yarder Pfeiffer should've advised him how to correct it in case he kicked from that side of the field again.

Here's a secret to special teams:
Special teams coaches know a lot regarding the entirety of special teams, with the exception of kicking the football.
Most kickers in the NFL get next to no instruction on how to kick field goals from their special teams coaches. How many special teams coaches are ex-kickers?

Good question, so I looked it up.
I only saw 2 former place kickers listed as special team assistant.
Tampa Bay has Chris Boniol & LA Chargers has Chris Gould.

Definitely the kicking is an almost exclusive talk between kicker, punter/holder and long snapper.
I remember hearing Pat McAfee, who was a kicker in College and punter/holder in the pros, giving his opinion on wind etc to Vinatieri whenever he had to kick for the Colts.

He needs to be "coached" as to how to kick a fucking field goal? Ah yes, I can hear that conversation now. "Ah, try.to kick the ball between those yellow thingys."

True, but there's some technique to do so. Damn, you just made me take a crash refresher course in high school geometry. @ 54 yards away those 18.5' wide goal posts substend an angle of about 6.5 degrees. It doesn't take much to miss at that distance.
FWIW, York wasn't drafted just for his accuracy in college, he also has a cannon leg. That missed field goal had 60+ yard distance. It wasn't so long ago kicks from that far out were in NFL record range.
MHO? Kickers are getting too good. Get to the 40 and you're now in field goal range. LOL, can't move the goalposts back any farther, they may have to start shrinking them down to area ball width.
