And acting like that’s how this CS views kickers is backwards thinking, at best given we now have 2 kickers on the roster who weren’t here a year ago.

This is some BAD logic. 
 

The Jets aren’t exactly a dominating offense. If you can’t get in the end zone you try to get points on the board with a FG attempt. Moreover in close games your entire strategy could result around how good your kicker is. 
 

Acting like a kicker isn’t a vital roster piece is some backwards you know what thinking.

I appreciate the confirmation.

Sam Ficken

Through the start of NY Jets Camp there were several reports saying that Sam Ficken was off to a very rough start. On Friday night the Jets confirmed that by announcing that Ficken has been released.

The Jets have signed K Matt Ammendola and released K Sam Ficken.

Ammendola (5-9, 195) went undrafted out of Oklahoma State in 2020 and was most recently with the Panthers this offseason. He connected on 60 of 78 field-goal attempts (76.9%) for the Cowboys and 179 of 183 extra points (97.8%). Ammendola, originally from Lansdale, PA, finished his collegiate career ranked third among all active players in the FBS with 359 career points scored. He finished top five in school history in points scored, field goals made, field goals attempted, field goal percentage, PATs made and PATs attempted.

Ficken, who first signed with the Jets in 2019, played in nine games for the team in the 2020 season and made 13 of 15 field-goal attempts before he was waived on Jan. 2. He also converted 12 of 15 extra points. For his career, Ficken has connected on 72.9% of field goals (35 of 48) and 87.5% of extra points (49 of 56).

I’d sign Remus Lupin at K in a heartbeat.  Dude is a monster. 

At this point I’d sign Pete  “ Crooked Toe “ Gogolak. Don’t have any faith in the kickers we have now
