Greg the Leg

[FidelioJet]

Should they be brining someone else in?

He's had a great career but if you lose confidence. you're done as a kicker.

 

 

[slimjasi]

You can make an argument that he's cost us 2 games with 3 missed kicks (two of them inside of 45 yards).

That's too many misses for me, wind or no wind. 

At the very least, he should see some competition and possibly just be cut. From what I've seen, when kickers don't have it in a given season, they don't have it. 

FWIW, our new coach gave him a vote of confidence after the game. LOL

 

[JetPotato]

No.

Let this loser continue to be a big contributor to the ongoing laughing stock that is the NY Jets. 

We should tank out and hope Woody has a stroke before the next coach is chosen.

[Bobby816]

Wasn't our other K in camp and PS good? Did someone pick him up?

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

LOL

With kickers in this league, unless you have Tucker or Butker, it’s a year to year proposition 

It speaks to the “culture” of the team that Seibert was cut despite outplaying the PegLeg in camp and preseason 

 

[Barry McCockinner]

You absolutely have to bring in someone to compete this week. He's been awful.

[rangerous]

time for zuerlein to be replaced.  those two fs last night were easily makeable.  the game might have turned out very differently if the jets had a 26-20 lead.

[BreeceHallofFame]

I think the giants picked our other kicker and he just cost them the game last week 

[y2k8]

 

Even the kicks he makes look like he missed them. Started with the game winner against the Giants.

The guy never splits the uprights anymore. 

[Plen T]

Should've went with Seibert

Another botch job by Bobby Boy

The Commanders picked him up. Austin Seibert

Greg the Leg looked way off in preseason, and yet, still gave him the starting job anyway and has cost us 2 games this season. 

[Lurker89]

Is bad.

[LockeJET]

They just put him on the trading block

[The Crusher]

Enjoy Cleveland Greg.

If he had succeeded in making the field goals, the board will have joined hands in great harmony.

the devil was in the wind last night. I say give him another chance.

Is there an argument? He absolutely cost us 2 games. He is paid to make clutch field goals and failed. He’s lost us 9 points. We’ve been outscored in 3 losses by a total of 10 pts.

This is an excellent, underrated observation.

It's like watching soccer / what every other country in the world calls "football", you can tell pretty easily if a guy is in form or not.

A guy can scuff a shot in front of goal and sometimes it still manages to find the back of the net. 

Everybody is happy because at the end of the day it's a goal, but the player is still out of form and playing with zero confidence.

You could take this a step farther and say it was rainy against Denver.

IDK I wasn't there but that's what folks were saying.

The problem is the Jets play in the Meadowlands.  It's not like they can count on conditions being perfect for any future games outside of road games in a dome.

And the kicker's confidence is now probably shot.

To be fair, Bass hit the ugliest XP attempt outside of Kaare Vedvik I've ever seen.

What do you do

the ball fell off the tee on kickoff. it was always going to be that kind of game. I don't think the kicker is shot -- it happened to both of them.

The issue is that Greg the Leg has looked off since preseason, this isn't just one game.

Honestly, I thought he missed one of the extra points too last night...I was shocked that they called it good

Definitely sends the right message bringing in someone to compete.  Also sends the right message giving Olu some 1st team reps with Smith looking like garbage and benching Clemmons.

[jgb]

Gotta bring in competition. Greg will either step up and defeat the challenger (and regain some confidence) or he will not and he’s gone anyway 

[JiFtheOracle]

If we really talking accountability, you cut him and bring someone in off the streets.

Yeah I think better to have him in pressure kicks in practice & overcome it.

Otherwise all his practice kicks this week are no-pressure -- it's not like he can't make the kicks; of course he can. He's just not making them + it's in his head.

[jamesr]

Interesting that Woody specifically referenced missed kicks in his comments earlier.

Didn't realize Legatron is 36

That's old, even for a kicker

Chelsea had a policy for years of not signing players over the age of 30 to more than a 1y deal 😂

IIRC Pat Leahy was freaking 40 at one point on the 1980s Jet teams

That didn't work out either

Joe Douglas asleep at the wheel

Amazing to me how this guy went from being top 5 in the NFL to the product we see today. Im willing to give him a pass for at least a few more games he's never been this bad and he has certainly been damn good for us

You mean the Jets haven't cut him yet?  He would be off the team if I were in charge.

and the denver game?

[BigRy56]

If Greg makes his kicks this year, Davante Adams is being added to a 4-2 team that's in first place and ready to make their push. So yes... Greg the Leg can take a hike if he's not going to turn things around right away
