Morten Andersen and Gary Anderson lasted a very long timeOf course. Not every kicker can go into their 40s but early 30s for good kickers doesnt mean as much compared to RBs for example.
I mean guys like Folk was still in the league last(?) Year and we all remember his mental collaspe here when he was young.
The op has a point in that as they get older their range does seem to drop. But iirc range wasn't an issue as it was accuracy, unless he was hooking kicks due to getting away from his technique in order to kick it that far.
there's no SB and besides he's a buddy of stick man so it doesn't matterI hope this doesn't cost us the Super Bowl.
He is pretty much the Maher opposite....which is more than fine by me.We should bring back Brett Maher. He was really good beyond 50.
Too bad he sucked at 30 and 40 yards
I think some of those calls were pure desperation.....knowing the defense had no shot if they gave the ball right back.Fassell get what he wants, while, blowing games with stupid call that the unimpressive HC goes along with.
That was a dumb call because of field position and even if you were desperate enough to try it I’d try a better play callI think some of those calls were pure desperation.....knowing the defense had no shot if they gave the ball right back.
At least that's what I hope.
I never...EVER again want to see a fake punt triple reverse from their own 20.
It bugs me that we didn't bother to bring in any competition for Greg Zuerlein.
I would been down with taking 1 in the draft and signing one as a UDRFA.
It bugs me that we didn't bother to bring in any competition for Greg Zuerlein. He's 33 and has been kicking for 10 seasons, so his struggles from long range last year may just be a sign he's wearing down.
I guess Dallas is riding with the fact that he made all but one kick inside the 50 (31 of 32), but he was 3 of 9 from 50 and beyond. If we're not going to challenge him in camp, then we need to at least limit our 50-plus-yard attempts this season to end of half/game situations. No use giving the other team great field position if he's likely to miss those kicks.
The one the bengals got could be a HoFer no reason to not try and get the best kicker in the draft with a 6th or 7th pick. Low picks rarely last long anyway might as well get the best kicker and create competition. I’m not glued to the idea or anything and waiting for RFA is fine tons of great kickers are found then.It's May. Let's see what happens at training camp.
One kicker was drafted this year (Bengals). I'm cool with bringing a couple in for camp but there's no need to draft one.
Amputation?oh I don’t know, howl old was Eddie Murray when he kicked the game winning FG in OT against the Giants to give us home field advantage in 1993, when Emmitt played with an amputated arm.
And wheeling it uphill through the snow!!! LOLAmputation?
This story keeps getting better with age!
Lol
Next thing you know he played in a wheelchair

Yep.
And handling the KOs will preserve Zeurlein’s leg. He has a great relationship with Fassel, and now his longsnapper is on the team.
He may not be reliable from 50+ out anymore, but anything from 45 or less should be money
