So what position on an NFL team would be easier?

I just said it's not easy, not that anyone could do it. There is a lot of pressure on you as a kicker.... You'll get all the blame if you miss a kick and a lot of times games comes down to your foot.

Before you ream me.... Same could be said for QB

So far, so good..................did well in the rain. I'm very panicky about below zero and snow.

The only kicker I ever trusted regardless of the weather or conditions was AV.

Towards the end even AV was shaky but he was the only kicker i can safely say i felt confident when I see him step onto field

I have no intention of reaming anyone. I agree it's not easy, I liken it to calling golf a sport it's not, does not mean it's easy to hit that damn ball straight

Sorry, wasn't meant to be directed towards you

Being a kicker might be the most stressful position on the field besides QB. Most players can catch a ball or run with the ball. Even 350lb lineman can catch and run with the ball. How many can kick the ball straight? Basically the kicker and maybe 1 or 2 guys. I know the position is the least physical. But maybe the most stressful.

Personally, I think Punter is much easier than kicker. You can kick the ball anywhere as long as you get up high enough and wobbly enough.
A 35 yard punt kicked 75 feet high is as good or better than a 75 yard punt kicked 35 feet high.

A kicker must get lift and put the ball between two posts from any distance and be able to mentally caculate, all of the geometry, physics and Meteorology in less than three second. And he has to pray that the holder positions the ball correctly.

A punter still kicks the ball which is in part the point and our punter is damn sure kicking off. Any maybe it is, maybe it isn't, back in the day it was boom it and go. Today its more about coffin corners, reverse rotation on the ball so it bounces how you want, one could argue there is more precision in the punting game than the kicking game.

Fan, unless you're a fan of the Jets!

Sure you could argue it, but you would lose for this reason. A poor result on punter precision (not talking about shanks) costs twenty yards at the bottom of the field. If that leads to points there are many other issues that led to those points too. A kickers lack of precision in any of four items during 1 kick results in a missed kick and lost points.

I would not lose and you can't exclude shanks because you want to make a point. But I don't want to re route the conversation either because I am pretty damn comfortable with our Punter / Kicker.

I know what’s behind Rebels dislike of Folk. Folks wife is hotter than anything he will ever bang and he’s jealous.



So go “Folk” yourself.

Haha! I feel the same about Folks wife. I may sound like a homer but my wife is hotter than that.

My 5th Cousin is hotter too.

 

[BigKen]

Seriously she is my 5th cousin. Can't for the life of me figure out what the hell happened to the rest of the blood line.

I didn't remove shanks because it makes my point. Plenty a shank have surely changed games.

I was specifically commenting on these precisions "Today its more about coffin corners, reverse rotation on the ball so it bounces how you want, one could argue there is more precision in the punting game than the kicking game." and not executing these properly won't cost a game but can greatly enhance winning a game... Fumbles help you to lose, breaking a tackle helps you win... The results are the same but the perception is a bit different.

Does your 5th cousin know she's being offered up to be ogled by the likes of us, or worse... charley?

You do realize as a 5th cousin she has bloodlines that don't include your all your bloodlines, right? Someone on her side got drunk and beer goggled someone on your side... HaHa

Her great great great grandfather and my great grandfather were brothers. My daughter and her have actually conversed about the family history. I asked my daughter to invite her to visit since she has a pool and a 12 person hot tub. I volunteered to make spaghetti sauce. I think my wife may have gotten involved.
