AVM Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 He's a kicker. So was Doug Brien. Feely missed a couple kicks too, but that doesn't change the fact that it's foolish to say a kicker isn't important. When you're real close, small things like kickers make the difference. Not saying letting Jay go is that...just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Its like I used to say to all those that defending the selection of Mike Nugent way back when... you can get a good kicker off the street. You don't draft a kicker. You don't overpay for a kicker (unless his name is Vinatieri, who coincidentally was signed off the street, but the guy is to the Pats what Babe Ruth was to the Red Sox - Pats w/ Vinatieri, 3 rings - Pats w/o Vinatieri, 1 ring for the COLTS!) We've got Folk, we will probably sign a couple street kickers to compete with him... but lets not over-credit Feely. He was a good kicker, but hardly irreplaceable.

Matt39 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Feely was better than Pat Leahy. I'd assume Feely's ego was why the Jets let him walk. That was the best kicker I've ever seen the Jets have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyzmul Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 there goes the best Kicker we have probably ever had, at least in all my years following the Jets.

I can only assume you never saw Leahy kick. After a rough start to his career, he was money, absolute money for many years. Feely couldn't carry Leahy's jockstrap.

I dont think its fair to compare 2 players from 2 different time periods. If Leahy wasnt that good he wouldnt have lasted so long. I cant believe we're now debating Pat Leahy vs. Jay Feely!!!

Leahy had a terrible start to his career and it was surprising that he wasn't cut. He turned out to be a truly excellent, dependable kicker with longevity that you rarely see at the position.

The Giants downgraded at kicker as will the Jets. He was the closest to a sure thign for the Jets at kicker going into this season. Nick Folk is awful. And I wouldnt want some rookie kicking in meaningful games in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5049805&campaign=rss&source=twitter&ex_cid=Twitter_espn_5049805 Kicker Jay Feely said he will sign a two-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals Friday morning. The versatile former Jets free agent, who even punted for the team in last season's AFC wild-card win over the Bengals, was unable to come to terms with New York early in free agency. During the Jets' open locker room availability Thursday, it was clear the team had made a break with Feely. The veteran's nameplate over his locker had been taken down and replaced by that of Nick Folk, who was signed by the Jets on Feb. 23. Last season, his second with the Jets, Feely made 30 of 36 field-goal attempts, including a 55-yarder, and was a perfect 32-for-32 in point-after attempts. Still, in a year when every veteran re-signing is being scrutinized by the Jets' front office, those numbers weren't enough to allow Feely his spot on the roster. The Jets asked Feely, 33, to take a pay cut despite his strong season and eventually, the parties were at an impasse. Folk was cut by the Cowboys in Week 15 last season after hitting 18 of 28 field-goal attempts. Prior to joining the Jets, Feely was cut by Miami after a 2007 season in which he made 21 of 23 field-goal attempts. He spent two years with the Giants and spent his first four seasons in the league in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
