Bowles Movement Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 He has missed quite a few FG s this year already for Seattle There was a lot of hand wringing when we didnt over pay to keep him despite last year being a career year. Meanwhile Sam Ficken has come in and done a good job to this point Is anybody still missing Myers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PepPep Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2019 I think most people were not so much pissed that the Jets didn't re-sign Myers for a large sum of money, I think most fans were pissed that a stable kicker was not brought in before the season started. I mean the whole Kicker position was poorly handled going into the season by both the GM and coaching staff and I don't think there is any denying that. But yeah, Ficken has looked good. However, the Jets could be 2-3 right now if the Jets took care of the kicker position as they should have coming into the season, going into a highly anticipated Pats game that could actually bring them back to .500. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Most here likely wouldn't have gotten too worked up over letting Myers go if the team didn't take 6 months before finally doing anything slightly competent at the position. It was a series of one totally inept kicker after another, and never once bothered to have any degree of competition the entire time. No one was particularly surprised by that level of awfulness from Maccagnan, but months of 3 different miserable failures at the position was hardly a great first impression for Douglas either. I actually was never that worked up about paying Myers, considering he's actually had a pretty mediocre career before last season, and even finished the season rather poorly, but the team really could not have done a more terrible job at refilling the position than they did. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymangold Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Never understood everyone being so insanely upset they didn’t resign Myers and especially not resigning Andre Roberts. Both have proven this year to be JAGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The kicking game cost us one game. As long as Ficken is decent I dont sweat not giving a big contract to a guy who made one Pro Bowl. Hes not Morten Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but that was an important game even if we run the table second half which we will Vedvik being a horror show could be the difference between 9-7 playoffs and 8-8 no playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untouchable Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The same people who thought the Jets should re-sign Myers for $4-5 million a year are the same people who thought we should re-sign Andre Roberts for the same, enjoy black coffee over a standing spoons worth of cream and sugar, choose Mike & Ike’s over peanut M&M’s, fancy a ‘root beer’ over an ice cold Coke or Pepsi, etc. Basically the dregs of society who should be exterminated upon first contact.

Jumbo2927 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The issue wasn’t not re-signing Myers. The issue was not bringing in a second kicker to compete with Catanzaro and Bertolet who were struggling throughout camp. The mistake was obviously compounded by handing the job over to Vedvik who was also terrible. Unlike the QB position there are more than 32 people in the US that can kick adequately in the NFL. There is no sense in allocating resources to that position unless the guy is truly special. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made all his extra points 18 of 18 prior to tonight also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought in a K who did a good job here two years ago, kicked FGs at over 83%, didnt miss one over 50 yards and was 100% on XTR pts. The problem was when he struggled in camp there needed to be a backup plan. I think they wrongly assumed he would straighten out his issues. Which became more of a problem when Catanzaro not only was struggling but he retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
