Aubrey - "I'd Put It Around 72 Yards"

[BotchedLobotomy]

You mean your own 45 yard line, right?

Ummmm, I meant opposite 45……..that’s the story I’m going with.

Best kicker in the league by a good margin. Great find for Dal.

What's the risk? It's a lost season.

I'd rather try and miss than not try at all.

This can be done all the way up to the last drive of the last game I mean there's no need to force it I get what you mean we all wanna see it but it needs to be organically fit in or you wait till the last game when all said and done and everything's mathematically eliminated and you're doing this like you would play your seniors on senior day in college or in high school on homecoming weekend then you get t....ve him his flowers and let him try it...

I don't necessarily need to see 72 yards but I don't want to see him break the record I mean that one was called back I think it was in preseason or did he hit it in preseason either way what is the record again like 66? So let's not be greedy let him break the record with a 67 yarder and then we can graduate from there I mean setting a record would be nice for the guy right... Helen if it was the last game that'd be Washington but I prefer it to be against the eagles be like a game winner longest field goal ever made that would be a nice story for a year that's all but lost...

it was 68 yarder made wasn't it but had penalty call it back or something but that PS.

That would stand for ages. Like the Dolphins perfect season…

What would he glorious if it was game-winning in the playoffs.

OK offense, we need one play to get to the 45 on our side of the field…

If it takes 50 plays to get there I'm still in!

The risk is a big return if it is short.

The other risk is it being blocked.
The trajectory needs to a little lower than normal to get more power behind the kick.

Or that was the thought years ago. Now K's are better, and stronger legs. So that may not apply any more.

I do believe in Brandon Audry! But field goals should be our last option going forward in this nightmare of a season. If it's for a game winner, then go for it, but if the Boys are in a dog fight, then 7 has to be the number every time.

With the new NFL kick off rules placing the ball closer to the goal for touch backs...it is a luxury to have a leg where you only have to advance the ball to your own 45 to potentially kick a FG and tie or win a game.

If you get the ball at the 25 yard line with 20 seconds left and you are down by 3 points...you only need to advance the ball 20 to 24 yards to get into position to tie the game up...not 35 to 40 yards.

IT is not like there have been deliberate plays before to set a record by various teams

If it is not a game deciding play I say go for it
