CTJetsFan Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Jets waived K Brett Maher, leaving Sam Ficken as the team's Week 1 starter. Maher, who excelled for a while in Dallas, lost out to Ficken in their training camp battle. Ficken started 15 games for New York last year, converting an abysmal 19 of his 27 field goal tries, along with 23 of 26 extra points. Perhaps he showed improvement during camp, or Maher was just worse. Look for Maher to catch on with a kicker-needy team during the season.

mrcoops Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 From reports, Ficken has clearly been the more consistent in camp. Maher has the huge leg, but his accuracy is all over the place. Ficken shouldn't get too secure, but he's won the job until this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used a pick on a Punter. Did you want them to use a pick on a Kicker, too?

No I want them to scour the league for good vet kickers and some where available this year. Last year we scoured and got dog kickers who cost us at least one if not more games. So far under this regime and certainty the last they never gave a sh*t about kickers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's exactly what I'm talking about. Sep 5 is when teams will be cutting dozens of players, including Kickers. Unless of course you want to bring in weak-legged Stephen Hauschka to kick in MetLife. He's readily available.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
