Tandy Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hahahaahah, I like that one. 'Won't call out one person' Schneck was put on IR and has not played in the last 2 games - which means there has been a new long snapper in the game. Who knows?

vabchbirdlover Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Elam has screwed up several kicks earlier in the season too(and thats when Schneck was there). Including an extra point...Not trying to make any excuses, but hasn't Elam had some sort of nagging hamstringissue the whole season, seems he's been listed on the injury report weekly?I find it hard to believe that a kicker who was "Mr Clutch" last season andthis year can't hit the broad side of a barn, would suddenly lose it.

I know he was earlier in the season and even last season with a hip, but that didn't affect his kicking last season at all. Elam has already taken full blame on those kicks in interviews. Its on him.

capologist Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 There's a lot wrong with our kicking game and it is not all Jason Elam.You are correct. When he starts and has to reset, there's a major communication problem or Koenen isn't reacting fast enough, etc. It's not just on Elam. He definitely hasn't all of the sudden lost the ability to kick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on him.Sure seems like he's been listed on quite a few injury reports this year, and of coursehe's gonna "Man up" and say it's my fault, i just think there is something that doesn'tquite seem right about him, other than the fact that he's missed quite a few makeableFGS, oh well.
