he hit a kick from 20+ yards, 30+ yards, 40+ yards and 50+ yards

is that the NFL kicker's equivalent of hitting for the cycle?

What about a recovered onside kick.....and he had one of his KOs returned for a TD.

Where's the people who didn't want a rookie kicker because of kicks like this?

I was one that felt drafting a kicker was a bad idea but I will admit I was wrong this kid has a leg and he should get stronger.

Correction-- he hit two from 50 plus... :D

And that onside kick was a thing of beauty...

I dunno, but in all seriousness he oughta be right up there for NFC Special Teams Player of the Week this week...

If he doesn't get it, something is seriously wrong. He went 4-for-4 on field goals, including a 53-yarder to win it as time expired. The only competition is John Kasay, who went 3-for-3 and hit a 52-yarder as time expired.

Didn't Houston's Kris Brown hit 3 50+ kicks and a 57 yarder to win? Tough competition. The addition of the great onsider may sway the vote.....

Houston is in the AFC. They give one for the NFC and one for the AFC.

The best thing I like about Folks kicks is the fact that he drives the ball straight. There wasn't an ounce of hook or slice on either of those long kicks.

good to have a kicker who gives you a shot.

Yeah, whoever pushed for Folk on draft day has to be sleeping with a smile right now.

Has Folk ever had a kick where the kick went to the left or right 12 inches?

The guy kicks straight.
