tikibar 43 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Needs to have #1 taken from him.Needs to have NFL jersey taken from him.Let him figure it out on his own time. It's not too late: SIGN AN NFL KICKER NOW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coryb78 25 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 That was in Denver and he was much younger. Now his attribute is that he's dependable and if he messes that up like he is right now people will turn on him like they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheEndzoneAnalyst 22 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I pray that he doesn't suit up this coming Sunday. I can't take seeing that guy again! Two weeks in a row he has cost us a win! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Theories? -Midlife Crisis?-New Drug Addiction?-Troubles with him and God (He is a very religious man to my understanding)-Injury?-Lazy?-Old?Age and change of altitude. Kicking at sea level is very different than kicking from a mile above. He's got to use extra strength to get the ball across, which in terms affects his accuracy. I think that combined with aging is causing what we are seeing now. I could be wrong of course, but the important thing is he needs to be replaced STAT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sanfranfalcon 1,179 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 he CLEARLY has not put the time into bein' physically in shape this season. he's got an f'n GOODYEAR tire around his mid-section this year!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Norwood all the way! 739 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 hes old and past his prime. hes done. simple as that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhow34 147 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I will be at the game against the bucs and i will boo him for sure if he steps out on the field. I just dont understand why with the other problems we are having they do not get rid of this problem. This is an easy fix. Just replace him. How much easier could it be?

4dabirds 3,673 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 He'll be working his issues out on another team. I hate it for him. I thought he was a great pick-up, but he's turned into a liability. I think we'll see a new kicker by Wednesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tikibar 43 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 He has had a hamstring injury all year. Not an excuse but he has been injured most of the year.Norwood and Turner were injured today...we got replacements for them and their replacements played well.If he's injured, get a replacement. This guy is KILLING our chances to win games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JD dirtybird21 22,105 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Jason Elam is done, he needs to go Edited November 23, 2009 by JD dirtybird21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voice of Reason 687 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Come on guys its obviously the holder and long snappers fault :ph34r: /sarcasmIt is. The long snapper keeps hiking it to Koenen and he keeps holding it for Elam. It needs to be the other way around. The longsnapper needs to be hiking it to Elam, and Elam needs to be holding for Koenen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaeshaelafemme 0 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Come on guys its obviously the holder and long snappers fault :ph34r: /sarcasmElam looks like he's about to jump offsides while he's waiting for the ball to be snapped. Maybe his hearing aid needs new batteries... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdc1963 5 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Does anyone think we'll pick up a Free Agent Kicker and send him packing? I would have no problem with that if we did. Are there are really any decent NFL-caliber Kickers out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pured-hallfan 27 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 All of what you have said is true but lets not sell short the fact that Koenon the holder and Elam are not on the same book at this point they have no idea what each other are thinking and 10 weeks in after 6 months of training camp that is inexcusable. They should be on the same page by now but they just aren't and I don't think it's going to be solved. Elam needs to leave and let Koenon get to work with a new K asap. I will never knock Elam he has been to good for to long but I'd hate to have him be Mort and stay well beyond his welcome he is to good for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
