DMN Blog: Thoughts from Nick Folk

Nick Folk is money.:jackpot:

We have never won a Super Bowl with only 2 QBs on the roster.

Well no team ever won with the leagues leading rusher or after two opening losses, until a certain team in Texas did it.

Uhhh, Buehler wasn't particularly accurate as a field goal kicker... he even missed some PATs... I don't see any team being interested in him, if their kicking situation is a mess...

Folk wasn't exactly known for his accuracy either in college.

But see how that turned out.

Yeah he was. His Senior year he was 15 of 20 and 4 of the 5 misses were from over 50 yards, the 5th was blocked by USC.

People act like he's already made the team. Let's see him consistently kick the ball deep or rack up a pre-season touchback or two before we count on his services.

That isn't any fun. I want to gripe about taking a Kicker. You ruin every good plan.

I'll make up for it with a little video treat later in the week. Sit tight.

Did we ever win a super bowl with a third stringer getting significant playing time?

What's your definition of " significant " and, more important, what's your point ?

There isn't a team in the NFL who doesn't have at least 3 QBs on the roster.

 

[Randy White]

Uhhh, yes, he did... he was 65 of 66.

Did he missed it or was it blocked ?

 

[silverbear]

Did he missed it or was it blocked ?

Either way, it's a missed PAT... if he got 3 PATs blocked in his career, that would strongly suggest that he doesn't get elevation real quick, which is not a good thing for your kicker...

No matter the reason, 3 missed PATs is cause for concern... of course, if he's just gonna handle kickoffs, that's different...
