mrcoops Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Ammendola is clearly more talented than the new guy. Ammendola's leg strength is immense, but he does need polish. The new guy's leg is nowhere near as powerful, plus he obviously can't be relied on for even short kicks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuler82 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 If you don’t trust your kicker to make a FG you can’t keep him. Problem is now they have a guy they can’t trust to kick an extra point 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 No, replicating him was not bad as amendola stinks, this new guys also stinks. Douglas has zero clue re kickers and treats it as an after thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Every single year since JD has been here, the rest of the league has found multiple kickers sitting on the scrap heap in the middle of the season who have been substantially better than every one of those the Jets had during that period. The Jets are in the midst of their second kicker during that period who have missed every attempt of their careers. Perhaps the real answer is looking for something a little better than which particular "worst kicker in the league" to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Replacing Ammendola was not the issue. It was giving the job to another guy who has never kicked in the league. We had Eddy Piniero in this week, they should have signed him., 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Clue Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Why keep going with these inexperienced kickers? Should be giving guys like Cody Parkey a shot, 1. He’s a veteran, so he has the experience and 2. He’s a pretty decent kicker his career fg percentage is 84.6%, which is better than most of the kickers they brought in since letting Jason Meyers walk.

K Clue Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 They should cut Braden Mann and resign Ammendola to be their new punter, he’d definitely be a better punter than Mann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Amendola’s misses (other than 1) were near misses. You ride it out with a young kicker. The more routine games become, the better they get. They’re not all born assassins like Justin Tucker. Instead, they have a breaking in period. Nick Folk is a good example. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk made the Pro Bowl as a rookie. Meanwhile, for the past 3 years the Jets repeatedly have kickers who can't break the top 32 statistically, as other teams find scrap-heapers who can outperform anyone JD brings in. Ammendola is just continuing the trend, as he currently comes in 34th in FG % this year. His accuracy was called out as a concern from the day he was brought in, considering he kicked in the mid-70s% throughout college, so not sure what's expected to change in the NFL. Although I suppose that is still better than JD's second 100% career miss-rate kicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
