So uw is facepalming anyone who likes the Dickson pro bowl bid?
Meh. Our K is doing a hell of a job.
Is that was this was?
He doesn't get all the blame. There are 10 other guys who need to make that play, but that effort was pathetic.
Plus he's not getting any younger or thinner, so we definitely do need to get our kicker for the future after this season.
Personally, I think his age and weight are more a factor on that play than effort. I don't think he could physically make a better effort than that. It's that fact more than anything that has me praying that Janikowski will be a 1 year kicker for us. He took an angle that would've only allowed him to make the play if James stays on the sideline, but he just isn't athletic enough to make any type of cut back to do more than he did in disrupting the return.
My size and apparent conditioning is comparable/superior to Janikowski, and when I get running in a strait line - it's not easy to change directions suddenly. At best, if he could gather his feet under him - all he woulda done is taken Thompson completely out of the pursuit.
This is not me defending Janikowski. I woulda loved to see him go Pat McAfee on Trindon Holiday on James - I just don't think that Seabass is athletic enough to it.
He's been pretty consistent with hating having Dickson on the team.

Kid has saved us in a few games this year that is for sure.
Well fucking shit you are right. I didn't even look at that on the field or box score.That can't be Dickson... we played the Vikings at home this year...

Ahh... forgot that they played them in preseason. Also, why are we playing a team in preseason (3, in fact) that we play in regular season?haha pre season
The world is starting to make sense again
