Kicker

[lancerman]

Bill had an entire offseason to find a capable kicker. Instead he wasted a draft pick on someone who couldn't even make the team or beat out disastrous, washed up kickers. Having a kicker incapable of hitting a 40+ yarder is going to be a serious killer for us. How hard is it to identify a competent kicker?

Very hard. Kickers don’t grow on trees. There’s a reason why he always prioritized that position. He probably didn’t expect Gostowski to fall apart when he did and you can’t just find something on the fly like that.

Just give Justin Tucker a call. I'm sure he would be happy to kick for the Pats. No problem.

An while we're at it, call Calvin Ridley. Pats need a WR.

See how simple it is to add players.

Vinatieri isn't busy these days is he?

Do teams trade for kickers? Like, could they send draft picks to a team that have a decent kicker but no chance of winning anything this season? (lookin' at you Jets, Lions, Giants)

By merely being unclaimed so late and last year, Folk must de facto be the 32nd worst kicker in the league.

I believe Chase Mclaughlin is still out there. But Bill may stick with Folk as he stubbornly stuck with Ghost even after all those misses he had...

Its a huge concern.

The Pats rely heavily on foot. How many times do the Pats move into FG position prior to halftime and secure another 3 points that sometimes makes all the difference in the outcome of the game? I dont trust Folk and Rohrwassers accuracy is not much better in the 40 - 49 range perusing his stats at Marshall and from training camp reports on this board. I dont get why he was picked.

My nightmare is the Pats down by 3 and they get into FG range only to miss the whole endzone.

The 32nd worst kicker is the best kicker.
Way to go Bill!

It's a major problem. Folk's range seems to be 40 yards and if he can make everything within that range he's still an asset but it's hard to imagine stopping a team like KC or Ravens who can both make it from near 60yards out if needed.

What a reach on Rohrwasser. He wasn’t on anyone’s radar and now he’s on the practice squad cause he sucked in camp. Meanwhile the guy that most thought would be a good pro, Blankenship on Indy, just went 4 for 4 on field goals on Sunday.

Bill the Draft Weekend Grocery-shopper is killing Bill the HC & even Bill the GM during the other 362 days of the year.

Whats it look like if you add 3% to Rohrwassers accuracy percentage?

Speaking of Kickers.

Did anyone else catch Al Michaels say that Jay Feely kicked off to start the NE vs Seattle game?

Blankenship also missed a 30-yarder in their season opener.

In terms of his 4/4 last Sunday, his long was from 44 yards. Nothing too special.

This is what was written about his week 1 performance; hardly anything to be excited about.

He’s 6/7 on the season. I think we’d take that over our rookie who couldn’t make the team.

For long FG’s, just let Bailey kick it, cant be any worse than **** folk

Exactly.
