  • My band played a benefit concert today  -  missed the game  -  but I'm just watching the highlights, and I say, "START kicker tryouts again!" 

    BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE

    Of course I'm stoked the kid made it, but you mean to tell me there isn't at least one other person walking around the planet that would be better?

    I dont care if they are from Mentor fcking high if they can ball. God love the kicker for todays win but he is not the long term answer as in not even next week. 

  • Keep the kicker. Get a guy that can coach him up.

    Virtually all special teams coaches know little to nothing about kicking field goals, so good luck finding that guy.

  • Right mentality for a kicker or a DB. Just forget the last play good or bad and prepare for the next.

    What I see are Browns on the right with nobody to block. We dodged a bullet with this field goal not being blocked. Seemed like #88 for the Browns should have focused more on blocking the inside threat (more of a direct shorter distance to the kicker) instead of the outside one.

    I think after 5 weeks and multiple kickers with no improvement, it might not be JUST the kicker.

  • I don't know. It was an ugly butt kick but it went in and capped an ugly butt game that we WON..  

    I like this kid.. Something tells me they got this pick right.  He is young and has a good head on his shoulders. The reaction to him getting the game ball in the locker room was priceless.. the guys like him and that is great for confidence. I think that confidence is a bigger factor in kicking than leg strength even..  He seems to have the later and not much of the former.. Confidence can be built.. He has leg strength He had the distance to kick that last minute 55 yarder in regular time, he just didn't believe he could do it.

    The FG that won the game had no confidence behind it, but it went in anyways... He will do better.. He is young and he has the leg strength. He just needs to believe he can do it.. And that game winning FG will make him CRAVE the next clutch kick he needs to make..

  • Bob- The Kick was partially blocked by a guy the STs players should never have allowed to get in. It's once again on Jones. He sucks.

    ... and in the snow...

    I think one of Phils kicks was described as just making it past a coat of paint or something like that...

    Agreed, you look at the pre snap defensive alignment the Ravens overloaded the left side. Darn lucky the kick wasn't totally blocked. Two guys trying to block four.

  • 1) I wonder if hue was told from upstairs to use that last TO? It's 3rd & 1 saving that TO incase of mis-handled snap with still time on clock..2) the player personal is just odd?Fells/Corbett*(looks to pinched wrong gap or man)/Robinson*/Zeitler/Huelett/Hubbard/Harrison/Bitonio/Ogbah**. 3)Looks as simple as flipping Ogbah to left with Joel banging out wingman #25..There's no illegal formation on a FG attempt is there? am not sure Ogbah knew what to do? but Bitonio should have kicked him left

  • i was at the game and thats ofc what we thought, replay tho....uh uh...kick wasnt touched. Hold was perfect. Dafuq was that? u have to hit the ball pretty high up for it to come off low like that. But from that distance u get the ball up quick and sacrifice some distance by hitting the ball lower. Kicks should not be this adventurous whst in the all fuk....

  • Watching live I knew the ball was tipped and wasn’t going in. I looked away in disgust and then turned back to see the refs signaling the kick good. I still can’t believe the kick was so bad yet still went through. There has to be another f u c k i n g kicker somewhere that can do better. Has to be. 

  • I thought it was tipped, then missed then I don't know what until everyone was jumping all over the place.

    A 2018 kardiac moment for sure.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!
