what was yr reaction after it ?

sorry if you have allready 'touched this matter' before

I might have been a little on the low side but bottom line is that if the blocking had held up it probably wouldn't have been blocked.

Really it didn't matter either way though it's definitely not as bad as it could have been.

I really can't say what my reaction was on this message board. It was flatout a bad kick that was low enough that a LB barely had to jump to block. I'm not going to hold it against the kid this ealy in the season though.

Gotskowski had a good training camp and a good pre-season too as we know.

this is the first 'negative' play he has done.

anyway kicker is really a 'not easy role' but if i have to be honest i was a little bit demoralized after it

i would have really loved 3 points in that particular moment

anyway...

i think he will do well for us

the best part about that play was the bounce the ball took after the block, it went towards the jets endzone. it gave them worse field position, and it made them have to move the ball about 15-20 more extra yards. i was happy about that but nervous because of the circumstances.

I still have compete confidence that this guy is going to be a very good kicker.

The consensus by the talking heads was that the kick was too low and it was mainly Gostkowski's fault. Not sure if it was a fluke, or if the Jets were studying a problem with his mechanics (ala BB against Pittsburgh in '01) and went for it at the right time. If it is the latter, then the Jets did us a favor as BB can correct it and it did not cost us the game.

The talking heads are wrong. The kick was on the low side, but if the line had done its job, it wouldn't have been blocked. They allowed serious penetration straight up the middle, AND allowed Vilma (and I think Bryan Thomas) to get high into the air without repurcussion after they busted through. I've watched the replay at least 2 dozen times now, and there's no way I'll blame the block on Gostkowski.

Gost will be fine. IIRC, Adam V had some kicking issues the first few games of '96, and was starting to be thought of as the next Scott Sisson. He settled in and the rest is history. No big deal.

If memory serves me well, wasn't AV close to getting cut in his rookie season before his breakout game against I think it was the Cardinals?

Anyone remember the particulars?
