Rangers9 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I guess the current FO didn’t expect Catanzaro to retire and maybe thought he would be adequate. But it looks like they were fairly unprepared at that position. I saw Douglas on TV last Thursday and he was openly rooting for Bertolet to be making his kicks. So now we have an inexperienced kicker who was even more inaccurate than the guy we just cut. A team like ours can lose games because of this. And regular season is going to be a try out for this guy. If he misses kicks they’ll replace him maybe even with Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadFan Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 5 hours ago, Scott Dierking said: For all the supposed collective genius of GM'ing that is supposedly on this site, so many seem to dwell on "kickers" and "Centers" as positions of value and importance. This makes me seriously question that collective genius Kicker is an extremely important position. NFL franchises recognize it too. The vast majority of game spreads are 7 points or less. Extra points, FGs, and field position play a massive role in close games. The great kickers in the league rarely change teams because their franchises recognize their value, and they reward them for it. Just ask fan bases of teams like the Bucs that have lost several games over the past few years because they can't find a kicker how important they are. Jets fans have been pretty spoiled for years. The highest paid position in the NFL per snap? Kicker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are around 5 great kickers in the NFL that are worth signing to long term contracts. There are around 65 people that can kick and make it in the NFL. They are basically interchangeable for the most part/ Great special team coaches is the real secret to a good kicker, by and large. That, and luck and getting the right guy in the right year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an exaggeration, but I see your point and am considering the idea that about 30 are interchangeable. Nevertheless, even those 30 can still be divided into tiers IMO. As for a special teams coach. No, I dont think so. Placekickers and punters do most of the work on their own. The STs coach is for the other 10 guys on each unit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Xtina Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 This signing, dropping, signing dropping of kickers by the Jets reminds me of my approach to finding a kicker in fantasy.

Popular Post Lith Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 To me, you never know what you have in a kicker until you see him have to make a couple of kicks, late with the game on the line. This guy has never kicked in the NFL. Nobody has any idea how he will react when we are down 2 with less than a minute to go and need a 45 yarder to win. Is he gonna make a similar percent in that situation as he would ina scoreless game in the 1st quarter. That is what I want in a kicker. Nick Folk was the last guy we had that I was confident was the same guy with the game on the line as he was in the first quarter. Myers never had a chance to make a big kick like that for us. Unfortunately you sometimes learn the hard way if guy can't handle the pressure. No idea if Vedvik will be that guy or not. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I just don’t like the idea of taking chances one week before the start of the season on a position that you know will absolutely see the field at least five or six times for kickoffs, extra points and field goal attempts. We are way late on addressing the situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited for the potential this kid has, even though he's been cut by a team who burned a 5th on him. You can't teach leg strength. And in a windy stadium like ours, that has a lot of value.
