Default Props to Dan Bailey

it's sure great to have him on our team.

pretty much money on fg's..

but one thing i've noticed this year is he is sending the ball 8... 9 yards or completely out of the endzone on kickoffs this year.

this could be a major factor if we make a playoff push.

Complete waste. I still shake my head at some of those who supported that ordeal.

There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

His kickoffs are so bipolar. Sometimes he'll kick it out of the endzone sometimes they'll catch on the 5 yard line.

I wonder as he gets older will his led strength will improve? I fon't know what type of strength training kickers go through, but can his range improve that much?

Wonder what Buehler is up to these days. I don't think he's even worked out for a team since we got rid of him

This is a good thread, I like Bailey. I would like to see him make some clutch kicks from longer out, but I think this was a good pick by Jerry & company. I rarely give his administration any credit.

Can't hold one kick against him but he misses the game winner at Baltimore, then the next week, comes in and nails the same distance

I really think he thought he was going to get iced by the Ravens on that kick so he wasn't fully concentrating.. he over thought the situation.

He also missed against Zona and got one blocked against NYG last year - which may not be his fault..

I think those are all 3 of the clutch kicks in his career. Not a great success rate in big moments.
