Kicker Brkic released by Packers

[erod]

OU fan here, and I noticed Gabe Brkic was cut by the Packers.

He was great at OU. Did he have a poor camp? I didn't follow. Always thought he'd be a good pro.

Maher instills little confidence.

 

[Carson]

He’s injured/was injured.

Difficult to beat out a vet like Crosby

 

[losersgetcute]

Yeah, they should bring him in, even if he's hurt, I think he's better than Maher.

 

[reddyuta]

he attempted one FG and actually hit mars,it was that bad.

Based on what exactly?

Who???

The Cowboys are saving the roster spot and going for it on every 4th down this year and going for a 2 point conversion after touchdowns.

I've just accepted the fact that we are stuck with Maher.

 

[StarOfGlory]

Hmm, going after a kicker whose name rhymes with "brick" doesn't install confidence.

He kicked for my son's high school. Just a ridiculous leg. He would warm up with 60+ yarders at halftime. I think I have seen him hit from close to 70 in warmups. I have seen a few people who went on to be pro's playing in high school and they just stick out. He stuck out.

He had a bad camp in Minnesota, was doing fine in GB but then pulled a hamstring and wanted to stay in the game and shanked one to Mars. Got cut.

Not sure if its the pressure or what. He was good at OU.

What about kickoffs after they keep scoring ? Who does the honor . # 11 ?

He was cut after their first preseason game.

Said he had a solid camp. 3 for 3 on xp, but missed his sole fg attempt in the game from 32.

Seems some kind of injury as well.

Crosby's misses...and there are many....see Bengal game....never seem to cost them a game. It's maddening!!!

 

[NickZepp]

He made 75% of his kicks in college the last 2 seasons. And missed a ton of crucial kicks in clutch time. Not sure he's NFL material. He has a long leg but not an accurate one. He peaked as a freshman and was never as good as he was then.

Someday someone will play by this strategy. Chip Kelly was about a year or two away from it when he left.

I find it hard to accept. I will really be ticked when Maher misses an easy FG or extra point and it cost the team a win. All of us sees this coming. Why can’t Jerry and tightwad Stephen see it? It is little things like this that makes me hate the way that this team is run.

They missed signing a swing tackle this off season.
They can miss big things too.

Based on how bad Maher was last time he was kicking in meaningful games.

I don't deny that Maher was bad but i'm asking what makes this guy better if he's hurt?
