Popular Post AFJF Posted July 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2020 Combined, these two probably have the strongest legs of any K/P duo in the NFL. If Boyer can get them right, it might be the most fun we've ever had watching special teams. Should be able to flip the field and have a guy who can consistently hit from 60 yards out. Problem is, can he hit from inside 50? 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Maher has a bit of the Nick Folk / Chandler Catanzaro / Jason Myers kind of vibe about him. A guy with a big leg and experience in the league, who might bounce back with a change of scenery. Let's hope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How awesome would it be to have a dude who lines up for a 60-yard kick and you feel really good about his chances? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletKnight89 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Great special teams play is so underrated. It doesn't get much talk when it's good, but when it's bad, it's on full display and painful to watch. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Mann has done some placekicking too. This kid has always had it. Take a look at some video from 2015 just as he was committing to Texas A&M. You can just tell he's a complete natural. He was about 17 or 18 years old here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our two very best players might just very well be a Punter and a Strong Safety. I'm not saying it would be better if it was our QB and a DE.....but yeah....I kinda am.

jetstream23 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Short video. Two punts in college vs. Clemson. Field flipper! And for people who have a hard time seeing the value in a Punter being Drafted, I think of it this way. Would you rather force your opponent to drive 50 yards or 70 yards in order to score against you? Would you rather make them need to convert 4 first downs or 5 first downs in order to get into field goal range? Punting is the ultimate "hidden yardage" in the game of football that Bill Parcells used to talk about. It doesn't show up predominately in statistics. Everyone looks at whether the QB threw for 300 yards, did your RB rush for 100 yards, etc. But netting an extra 10 or 15 yards in field position forces your opponent to complete that one extra 1st down or those two extra passes....and that gives your Defense more opportunities to make a stop, sack the QB or intercept a pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about having Mann do kickoffs and attempting those long 55+ yard kicks as time is expiring, while signing a very accurate but shorter yardage kicker? Give me a guy who is money from inside 45 and on XPs....and I'll roll the dice on the longer FGs with our guy with the big leg. It's the approach you'd take if you had tag-team golf. Get me the guy who kills it off the tee and practically hits the green on a 350 yard hole, and pair him with a guy who has a great short game and drains every putt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can make an argument that Ficken has made NFL kicks (true) then I can say Mann has never missed an NFL kick (also true). A video doesn't tell us anything. But, Brant Boyer will tell us everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicking on a practice field without the 11 players lined up trying their best to intimidate you and coming within inches of blocking those kicks isnt the same thing. If Maher is making kicks in practice its his job. Even at his worst a year ago hes a better choice than Ficken. Especially given hes missed one XTRA Pt in the last two seasons. \I've never missed a NFL kick (true). You, I think, have never missed an NFL kick (true?).
