JRob215 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm honestly fine with keeping Bryant. I know he struggles from over 50 yards, but he is so accurate from inside that distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfan82 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I hope at the very least they sign or draft a rookie kick to battle with Bryant and we still have Huaschka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr0d1gy Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 We need to draft a real kicker this year. Bryant did OK but there is no reason not to go after a long term solution at that position. This position alone cost us the playoffs last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinTJ Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Tiffin in the 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr0d1gy Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Tiffin in the 6th. I'd even drop a 5th on him. He is proven and played in a lot of big games for Bama and did well. He doesn't have a huge leg but we don't need one. We need a guy who can hit from 50 and under for the next 10 years even in the biggest games, which he has proven he can do.

rcky_mtn_falcon Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 We have 2 kickers on the rosterMatt Bryant was signed for 2 years and Steve Hauschka was the guy we signed when Bryant pulled his hammy ...My guess is they battle it out in camp and the winner is our kickerIt would be nice if Hauschka won that job. He's 10 years younger than Bryant, and if he can develop we would lock up that position for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hunter Lawrence is dead accurate inside the 50 (34/38) and iirc, has never missed a 40-49 yarder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFL Draft Fan 07 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm curious to know what ya'll think makes a good kicker in the NFL. It's hard to figure out because like other positions it doesn't just mean you had impressive stats in college, there is something else that makes some guys fail and some guys succeed. One theory I am considering is how many pressure situations they were faced with in college. Game winning kicks, game tying kicks, etc. Kicks they will be faced with in the NFL on a regular basis.I haven't looked into it, but it seems like that could be one intangible that separates the kickers who succeed from the one's who don't. I haven't looked into how Tiffin did in this regard, but I am quite certain he has made his fair share of clutch kicks at 'Bama, especially the last 2 years. That makes me like him as a potential later round pick-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
