Twinblade Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 We do have Mort, he has done some good things with us but face it, we need a new fresh leg on this team..Most games are won by a FG, without a good kicker a team will not go far as alot of important games will be decided on a FG. I think we should draft one and his name is Brandon Coutu. He has a really really really strong leg that can kick a 60+ FG and you don't get that in alot of kickers. Of course our FO will probably just skip over Coutu and wind up signing a No named Kicker again or a kicker that is trying to get back on a football team. We will continue to ignore our kicking situations sadly but I hope this year would change, I hate closing my eyes when we have to kick a FG, knowing we really don't have a kicker with a leg. I don't care what anybody says but I think we should draft him in the 5th round...Remember last time we waited, he now kicks for GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinblade Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yeah and Brandon would be way to good to pass up, even for a kicker. I knew Brandon, hes a good kid, How I know him? His parents live next door to my aunt and also he went to the same school with my cousin. Brandon wants to be a falcon, his parents want him to be a falcon. I hope he becomes a falcon, not only would it crush us but his friends and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoned_jc7 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 If his stock continues to rise, we are slowly but surely losing ground on drafting the guy. I don't know that we can afford to draft him with a pick greater than 5th. Surely there are a few other teams out there who may be willing to go after a kicker in the draft..?I honestly don't know what other NFL teams desperately need a kicker.

neko Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 i cant imagine the team patch-working the kicking game again this year. i bet we will finally draft one, and i wouldnt mind at all if it was coutu. id much rather have a kid with a great leg and slight accuracy problems than someone who can barely put it thru at 45 yards.

bozoatl Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 First the Pats had Venatieri, then they picked up Gostkowski in the 4th round. I believe that TD knows the value of a competent kicker (unlike his predecessor!), and will take care of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
