Lith 16,944 #12 Posted August 10, 2019 1 hour ago, JetsFanatic said: Blair Walsh is a really good kicker, big leg, but can't make a kick in a big spot with game on the line. Couldn't do it at Georgia (missed two potential game winners in OT in Bowl Game). Couldn't do it at Minnesota (missed potential game winner in playoffs). Couldn't do it in Seattle (missed potential game winner to send Seattle to playoffs). Glad we are bringing in kickers. Love my fellow Bulldogs. But this guy ain't the answer. Can't handle pressure. 7 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndianaJet 3,402 #16 Posted August 10, 2019 Blair Walsh was not the name I was hoping to see. The guy folds under pressure. When you google his name it autofills to “Blair Walsh miss”. His miss in the playoffs for the Vikes against the Seahawks was a 27 yd chip shot for the win with 22 seconds left. That just can’t happen. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe W. Namath 4,806 #23 Posted August 10, 2019 What about parkey? He was the best kicker in the league until he hit the upright a few times last year. Id bring him in and see where his heads at. Could of been a fluke thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was very unlike Macc, I'm sure because he thought he was going to way over pay other places, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't have just got a quality guys in. Good news is I have no doubt Doug will get us a kicker and looks like we already have a Pint returner. Things are ok 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
