It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I remember when we drafted him someone on Reddit who went to school with him said that although they were proud of what he'd achieved, he was a difficult person to root for. Apparently extremely arrogant, rude and with a severe superiority complex.
We'll see how that pans out, but I can't imagine the Patriots locker room embracing a narcissistic kicker.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing - huge confidence is probably a good thing for a kicker. But way too early to say if he has a chance. I think he’s PS material for a while, good enough to push Folk to keep working hard but not good enough to take the job any time too soon.Kickers are like closers in baseball. Even if this information is true, these qualities might help.
The issue is Nordin's appears to have had a lot of practice using these negative attrributes relating to his kicking consistency. Maybe Bill feels they've ironed out his problems. But in a few months can he be sure?
Folk had a lights out short game last year. Do you give that up plus a guaranteed contract? Is Bill just hoping to stash him on the practice squad?
I think here they do. Especially when AV and Gost were hereDoes the "locker room" even think of punters and kickers as football players ?
Agree completely, and Jake Bailey is a difference maker in field position.I think here they do. Especially when AV and Gost were here
Yep. Him as well. I think with those players their willingness to tackle earns the respect from the other players.Agree completely, and Jake Bailey is a difference maker in field position.
Look deeper into the sample size. He may be what we need.I get that UDFA are UDFA and spots on a 90 man roster aren't exactly precious, but I still don't get why we signed a kicker who literally never broke the 80% mark on field goals in a single season and couldn't even break 70% half the years.
Doing bad in a small sample size does not mean you're actually good. Also, he had multiple years that I would consider a "full season". The sample size is why I was charitable enough not to ding him for a season where he only kicked 40%.Look deeper into the sample size. He may be what we need.

Well, there's a reliable report if I ever read one.I remember when we drafted him someone on Reddit who went to school with him said that although they were proud of what he'd achieved, he was a difficult person to root for. Apparently extremely arrogant, rude and with a severe superiority complex.

The issue is that we did not draft him. So I don't know why someone on reddit decided to talk about a player we signed late after the draft unless redditors are into anecdotes on UDFAs kickers.I remember when we drafted him someone on Reddit who went to school with him said that although they were proud of what he'd achieved, he was a difficult person to root for.
