Matt Prater

Must have been a Timex.

I think he did commercials.

 

[broncosmitty]

I stand corrected, I do remember Roby.....I liked him......Any other African American FG kickers we need to be contacting? I'll take Roby in a heartbeat.....He's gotta be around 65 by now.

He's been dead for over a decade.

He's been dead for over a decade.

Almost a decade. He'd be 53 today and died of a suspected heart attack in Nashville, TN. in 2005.....Left behind 4 kids.....Sad.

That is sad. He was awful young.

(Today would have been his birthday? )

Rest in peace Reggie Roby.

Quincy Carter. he couldn't have been any worse of a kicker then he was as a QB.

No, meant in 2014 he would be 53.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

I hope they go get Prater. Nothing against Henery, but Prater just has a bigger leg.

 

[gandydancer]

Roby was punter. Still a kicker none the less. That American had some sweet hangtime on his punts.


He was the Janokowski of punters. fugger had some huge legs and looked like a LB

 

[gandydancer]

As a FG kicker in High School I believe I'm an expert, Kicaclious is better then any kicker we have or are bringing in.....Then again I don't have a degree in FG kicking those are hard to come by with all the studying you have to do nowadays.

I feel confident that Mayhew (African American making deicions on FG kickers for the Lions) is the right person for the job. Has there ever been a African American field goal kicker? I don't know.

I'm not rushing out and hiring a Nigerian Goalie coach for the Red Wings either.

I would imagine Mayhew has a scout for that department.

I would imagine Mayhew has a scout for that department.

I doubt it, and if he did it would probably be a retired OL.

As a kicker, how can you forgot Reggie Roby!?!

He wore a wristwatch,............... A WRISTWATCH!

Roby was a punter. But there was Donald Igwebuike. And he was a barefoot guy, which I would personally love to see again.

 

[Rollingthndr]

Damn it Smitty! I was about to mention ROBY!! Well scooped sir, well scooped.

Wow. This thread had deteriorated to the point that black people can't kick and are not even capable of evaluating kickers? Wtf

I grew up in DC. Got my ass kicked a few times, couple kicked pretty damn well.

That's what happens when you fuck with Rob.

 

[gandydancer]

Not true. Got respect because people knew you had to at least fight. Got left alone, never could fight.slow like Foremen. could surely slam your head or face into many objects.

Three on one hurts. No such thing as fair fight. I could never get the extra guys.

Rob prolly could kick my ass. Pretty sure he would never do the toilet stuffing or whatever he said to y'all shit.


Maybe it was me befriending the biggest guy in school. Judon Proctor saved me a couple times prior to being left alone. I just like my other story better.

You said it not me, They did make a movie of Jamican bobsledding. Not sure about how many gold medals they got though.

I'm sure many of us got asses kicked in life. But this is the Internet. If you have ever lost a fight, you're not a man.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

I lost many as a kid and a few as a grown man. I grew up in the hood. You either threw down or got it worse than not doing so. Too old now but wouldn't hesitate for a second, if it meant my life.


I wouldn't toilet bowl cleanse anyone tho. I might shiv someone's ass, if you're not looking.

 

[Coach_Ed_LPW]

Prater is a must sign..unless the lack of juice effects his game.
