jgb Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yep. It's like having good free throw shooters in basketball. You don't realize how important they are until you let a good one go and acquire Rajon Rondo. Poor Kings fans. That's how Duke wins year after year. I read somewhere that after every practice coach K makes all players hit 10 free throws in a row before hitting the showers. Smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogglez Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Our kicker was Landfill in Beerfest! Looks more like a bigger Phillip Rivers. Great movie BTW. Fat Randy has been a pleasant surprise, but in no way shape or form am I going to advocate replacing Folk with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 And that is exactly what pissed me off. Injuries are always going to happen and they should never be used as an excuse, especially when you still have the best QB and HC cheaters on the field. fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Personally I felt we leaned too much on Folk & played to get in FG position too much. I'd rather save 1 million for another good special teams player. Folk missed every long FG last year we needed to beat the Pats at the end of both games while Gotkowski was splitting the uprights from anywhere on the field. I'd rather have a guy that the offense is thinking each & every possession about getting into better field position. These guys that can "sometimes" kick over 50 make OCs get too conservative.

#27TheDominator Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The guy was a draft pick. I'm not going to write him off. This is what competition is about. Neither of them gets the job automatically. Fight it out in camp. If they are equal, you keep the younger cheaper player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that with most things, but unless one falls flat on his face, camp competitions between 2 kickers don't simulate pressure kicks in the cold, wind, rain, snow, etc., nor in any number of different stadiums. Only saying they can look equal in practice but that doesn't therefore make them equal in games. There have been some really good kickers who seemed great up to and until it mattered. Vanderdoody and Kaeding come to mind. And I supposed Doug Brien since this is a Jets site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetup Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Not really worried about either of these two. They are both decent kickers with Folk having the edge because of the big kicks he already has accomplished in his career. Randy has done a good job, but I still want to see a clutch performance before giving him the nod. The Fg he hit in OT was good, but I want more. The real question is when do the Jets draft a punter?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I said pretty early in the season that our special teams needed to improve and specifically named Folk & Quigley as 2 guys & positions that we needed to upgrade. Quite a few people here ripped me for naming Folk as a player that was underachieving and asked who is available to replace him. Well guess what? We found our kicker of the future and his name is Randy Bullock. Don't be surprised if Folk gets cut this off-season because Bullock IS AN UPGRADE. Not only is Bullock an upgrade over Folk, he is younger & cheaper in terms of his salary. Finally a place kicker that can kick FG's AND consistently send kickoffs deep into the end zone. Now if we can just find a punter and some special teams gunners that can cover on punt returns & kick returns. yeah - he's magical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljr Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 You may be right about Bullock ... Although I want to see how he kicks some more FG's under pressure before I can be totally open-minded about it ... But it seems strange to me that Folk is the ST player you single out to replace ???? ... He very likely is better than every other ST player on this team easy decision to make now ...

Warfish Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Bullock was Bollocks today, no question. But give him his due, he was CB-like, had no memory, and won the game. This thread is still a laugher, don;t get me wrong, and Folk will surely return in 2016. But a pat on the back for Bullock's chubby-buy resilience is certainly due.

#27TheDominator Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 BUMP: Just to remind everyone what a premature thread looks like. Sometimes you are proclaiming Gholston a bust before rookie mini-camp starts and other times you are proclaiming Randy Bullock superior to Nick Folk.

shuler82 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 that fat **** better not be anywhere near the jets balls in 2016. 'but omg he booms kickoffs!' who cares? How many times does the ball get returned past the 20 yard line nowadays? I'd rather have Folk making FGs and kicking it to the goal line. At least with a KR there's a chance for a fumble.
