Can we talk more about Brandon Aubrey

[goshan]

All I remember is people here crapping on him when he missed his first extra point

Because lots of people looking for reasons to attack Jerry and the management.

Can Aubry get rookie of the year?

Not sure how other rookies are doing. Other than CJ Stroud who will probably win it.

I am in the golf business and have been for a long time and your assessment of his "Thud" is spot on. What is even just as amazing to me is the effortless way he approaches the ball. On every extra point it almost appears as if the other team is going to block it. The camera angle from behind the posts might create this but man he approaches every kick the same way. Did you hear one of the announcers mention the success Maher had until the playoffs...?

I did. This guy is not Maher.

As good as Aubrey has been, let's not get crazy. There is no "probably" with CJ Stroud. No kicker is getting Rookie of the Year over a QB that looks like a future stud. He should make Pro Bowl for sure.

becuase we had ptsd from maher and didn't want to go through it again.

Way to go, keep it up!!!

Aubrey is a real weapon, another "arrow in the quiver", as announcers put it. To me, he is NOT the prototypical kicker. 6 foot 3 inch, 200+ pound athlete and a standout soccer player at Notre Dame. He's already a record setter and if he continues to hit 60+ yarders, what a future he has.

Yes I know. Just wanted to bring it up.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Yeah, he’s certainly made me a believer.

So I watched his kicks again today. That 60 yarder is good from 70. Amazing. Someone on the forum last night said he is going to break the NFL record. I think that is very likely to happen. He mashed his other kicks as well. The 59 yarder would have been good from 65. Not as pretty as that first kick but still amazing.

Remember his first kick? Ugly. Since then he has been a robot. He is something special. Question…Is it me or is the thud sound he makes when kicking the ball more recognizable than usual? I mean it’s a “THUD”!

That 60 yarder was just nuts. For you golfers…know when you really mash a drive the ball takes off and the plane shifts up again and then the ball comes down? You know you crushed a drive when you get that. I swear that first kick looked like that.

Enjoy the day.

I was like...we are kicking fg?
Took me awhile to pick my jaw up. It wasnt squiggly or barely he smashed it with deadly accuracy.
Hes on my mvp list.


My recollection is all our special teams have been superb.

 

[Big_D]

I think we found our Justin Tucker, he's a keeper. 10 year contract .. get it done.

 

[nightrain]

He is kicking it through the uprights on KOs.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

You had Hurts on your fantasy team?

Get a rope.....

A lot of that was the PTSD kicking in from what we dealt with Maher, especially in the playoffs where he missed like 5 XP's in a row.

 

[doomsday808]

He is going to start a new trend where teams look a kickers with a Soccer player's background.

 

[doomsday808]

Who remembers what they said to themselves when he missed his first NFL extra point kick vs the Giants in week one?

 

[Tabascocat]

NO

Kickers have delicate mentalities, pretend he doesn’t exist and give no reason for a jinx. Aubrey who?

Maybe I never noticed it before but with him, you see him brush the ground well before he hits the ball. It reminds me of a golf drive. Why? Because his foot is on the way up when it makes contact with the ball.

I could have sworn that with most kickers, the lowest part of their swing arc is near the ball. They get the ball up in the air with the angle of their foot.

Basically, it sure seems to me that Aubrey is kicking like he is hitting driver where other kickers are doing it like they are hitting a 7 iron and the difference in distance is noticeable.
