  • Not gonna lie, I used to diss on Dawson a few years ago for having a weak leg.

    For my money, he's the best kicker in the NFL.

  • No.

    No haters.

  • Seems like his leg has gotten stronger the last few years.

  • I love the man in a purely respectful heterosexual way.

    Me too. He was bad bad in 2006 - he did exhibit the 'weak leg syndrome'.

    I wonder if Braylon is going through a similar slump? I guess the difference is that Braylon is known to drop balls.

  • Yeah, I'm here I wanted the bastard gone a few years back because he had a weak leg.

    Then I discovered his hot wife, and he obvious connected with the Steelers trainer for some of them good roids, not like that shit peddled in Euclid.

    I'm with DTBH, he might be the best kicker in the game today.

    Can he play LB?

    Awesome.

    Phil Dawson owns Lake Eerie. How about putting a petition together for a re-naming.

    Dawson's Creek?

    Back about two years ago one of my biggest battles was fighting several people on here about Phil Dawson. Those people wanted him off the team. . . they felt he had a weak leg, had terrible accuracy over 40 yds, blah blah blah. . . I fought those people time and time again. Look at this guy today. . . he's the most consistent player on this team!

    I'm SO GLAD they kept this guy around!

    They need to get a kicker who can get the damn ball out of the end zone with the wind at their backs!! This crap of squibbing and whatnot and giving the other team the ball at the 40 is getting old.

    FG's he does just fine. But we need some fresh blood for kickoffs.

    That is incorrect as well. Phil has more than enough leg to get it into the endzone. That was a special teams / coaching decision to avoid the run-back. But after nailing a 56 yarder and with the wind at his back, he's more than capable of getting it into the endzone.

    In fact I've been watching him put kicks out of the endzone after long field goals all year (it's like he gets warmed up, then boots it long on the ensuing kickoff).

    Phil doesn't do the squib kicks by his own weakness, they're directed by the coaches.

    2009 prediction: 8-8, with a much more respectible looking team, and hopefully 3-3 in the division with at least 1 win over each team.

    Carolina actually does have a kickoff specialist. Rhys Lloyd for kickoffs nd John Kasay for field goals.

  • Dawson is a professional and stepped up his game, he took it serious and improved on what he could do.

    Head or Gut?

  • Dawson is a top-shelf kicker, no doubt. I'm just pissed that the game was another FG fest! 3 int's turned into only 2 FG's???

    It's hard to soar with eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys.

    Why in the world do you think its Dawson's decision to kick a squib vs. a touchback?

    The coaches tell him where to kick it, 'tard.

    I fought people on another board about this before coming here also.

    Dawson is easliy one of the best FG kickers in the NFL. As for kickoffs, the normal percentage of kickoffs into the endzone is low for every kicker. Normally, our special teams coverage is one of the best. They had a bad week. That's it.

    Dude, when the Bills were getting big returns and his KOs were short of endzone, I looked at my bother and said "you watch I bet someone will make a comment on a message board right now bitching about Dawson's short kick offs and CLE needs a new kicker. This game will come down to a Dawson FG and he'll hit it". Sure enough....

    I never got it when people hated on Phil. Dude can make FGs plain and simple.

  • @jadbf said:

    I'm sure you remember the fights I had on Nav's board with peolpe. Including the full breakdown of where his kicks land and the opponents starting field position for our team during Dawson's years.

    The complaints always amaze me

    I sure do remember. It was funny and sad. Of course that is a reminder of how far this team has improved. I mean it was so bad then people had resorted to making the kicker a reguler scape goat for his kick offs.

  • I'm still disapointed on kick offs, but I think if we brought in a punter that could do them that had one hell of a leg no one would have anything else to bitch about. He was inconsistent a few seasons back and yes, I was calling for his head at the time, but he's really pulled it together nicely. I'm glad Dawson worked out and hope to have him this productive for many years to come.

    3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

  • so after bills game, everyone has jumped on the Phil Dawson for kicker bandwagon ? seems they forgot the miss a few games ago that could have put us in the playoff spot.

    I agree, only becos we do not have any other kicker now that he should be kept for some time, but personally i will keep my eyes on the market for some more reliable kicker.

    More reliable? 84% for his career. There are like 5 guys with higher.

    And what game did he miss a FG that cost CLE a playoff spot? The only game that would have put us in the playoffs was the CIN game and he didn't get a shot to win the game. Or are you really digging back to week 2 of last year in OAK? In which case, he didn't miss, it was blocked.
