Draftnut57 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The Kicker,,, I picked the Rams to win the SB,,, And they have probably the best Field goal kicker in the league this year... Look at how many games he helped them win.. I hope TD will think long about this pick.. and need,, WE need to first and formost in the off season ,,, To find the very best FG kicker that will be available.. And I've noticed this past season,, I think FGs may have been a record year.. Because of the D#s on the teams are better than ever.. so they are not even more important. Sounds simple,, and it is,, but to overlook a Great FG kicker will be the down fall of those who do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 You picked the Rams to win the SB pre season? And it was because of their kicker? Impressive! we have one of the best kickers in NFL history, and the best backup kicker in the league (sounds weird) and we finished out of the playoffs.

No, that's not why,, but one of the critical players they have on their team.. actually I really didn't even think about that when I did. But you can count on this ,, he is one of the big reasons they are playing in the SB ..My point I'm tring to make is that a Kicker is the most underrated player on any NFL team...

TheUsualStuff Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 We already have one great kicker and his probable replacement on our roster. I don't think TD needs to think about kicker at all during this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcanuck Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I personally don’t think kickers are underrated. This is kinda why teams are constantly firing them. Everyone knows their importance. One thing I would say is that there is no clear development path to becoming an NFL kicker. There’s a kicker camp with some ex pros, but college kickers are not developed properly. It’s not an entirely difficult job, but you have to be able to replicate your mechanics under stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d spend a 4th Round pickto draft a 21 year old Matt Bryant How many games are decided by the kicker? Especially playoff games. If only we’d given ours a chance in SB 51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think TD needs to think about kicker at all during this draft. He was great,,, But could you not see how much he has went down this year,, pulls hamstring and has lost his long FG strength.. So so many games are decided by a FG,, We need the best young strong legged kicker in the league on out team.. And I do believe TD knows that.. and will get us that player this off season. Or at least I hope so.. He usually sees the evident. That's why I'm his biggest fan... Is he perfect? No,, and nobody else is either .. But he's a great GM..

I do see he has gone down... but with all of our needs am I going to crap shoot with a draft pick on a kicker when I already have a proven guy like Georgio Tevecchio on our roster? A guy who came in with Bryant out and absolutely nailed every kick we asked him to make. So if we want to ask what each other can or can not see, I would ask could you not see we might already have Bryant's replacement and don't need to waste a draft pick on one. Ask Tampa Bay how much of a guarantee you get on hotshot college kickers. I'll take the bird we already have in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I know Greg the Leg hit a big kick to win that NFC Championship game but just wanted to point out he was 27 for 31 for the year and 4 of 6 from 50+ while the Falcons kickers were 25 of 26 for the year and 6 for 7 from 50+. They combined for a better year than GZ. The Falcons have hardly been hurting at kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The highest drafted kicker in the draft this year got cut in week 2 I think. So....... But at least that guy the Bucs drafted high a couple of years ago worked out I guess. Wait...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin' In DC Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 If they cut Bryant or he retires Tavecchio(already on Practice Squad, I believe) will be the First Choice. They will bring a Undrafted guy or 2 to compete but they will not be drafting a kicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I don’t think it is coincidence that even when Bryant came back we kept Italian Ice on the 53...not PS, 53 man roster. He is the MB succession plan. One of those two will be kicking in 2019 most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
