greeniemeanie Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Should we be concerned with Folk's misses? He has botched a few kicks that a kicker really shouldn't. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 There has to be K tryouts this week. That was an awful performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharrow Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Bring in some competition, but he barely missed the short one, I don't think we should panic and cut the guy yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 He missed 3 this week, and I think 2 each of the previous two games. He pretty much lost the GB game, along with our idiot punter (a 3-3 game is much different than a 6-0 or 9-0 one), and he tried to lose against Detroit too. If he hits his FGs this game ends in regular time. Cut this guy and get a new kicker. They're all replaceable. When they suck you get rid of them and try a different one.

Irish Jet Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Amazing that people started thinking he was good again. He was so bad for Dallas last seaosn than it effectively destroyed what good he had done the previous season. He's terrible from inside 50, where I would have more faith in myself. When he makes them, he makes them by inches and now we're starting to see him fall apart. Folk sucks. Kickers suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Bring in some competition, but he barely missed the short one, I don't think we should panic and cut the guy yet. Last I checked, this isn't horseshoes.. barely missing is worth as much as missing by 15 yds. To quote Ray Lucas, "There BETTER be tryouts this week, or I'm dusting myself off to kick."

Jets Voice of Reason Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Kickers are streaky. Like SMC said, bring in competition, but cutting him would be stupid without a better replacement. If he continues to be problem cut him, but not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Kickers are streaky. Like SMC said, bring in competition, but cutting him would be stupid without a better replacement. If he continues to be problem cut him, but not now. I agree. Have to have try-outs. Thing is, is they bring in someone who looks good, it might be smart to make the move. If Folk sticks and has another crappy game next week, there'll only be a couple days to bring in a new kicker before Thanksgiving. So if you don't replace Folk this week, you're pretty much committing to him for the next two. I'd have try-outs, and I think Westoff should spend a lot of time with Folk doing whatever he did to get Folk looking good in the first place.

Greenranger Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 They were saying before the game that the turf was kind of funny and that the Jets had brought multiple types of shoes. Maybe that had something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Bad games are bad games...We have a week to be all "zomg it happened and all of the future is in doubt," but the win pretty much covered his a$$. He'll be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason423 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Id be worried because the game was outdoors and that is the area that concerns me. I would not panic yet, but if you see some misses next week or especially in the night game the Jets might take a look elsewhere for the stretch run.

He'll be alright. I'd be right there with you except he's already shown (with Dallas) that he can be a headcase and miss a ton. It isn't like there's no basis for concern.

haggis Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 A 24 yd kick you just CANNOT miss. Folk is awful. I always thought the worst move the Jets made was not to give Feely the extra 500K and bring him back. I have ZERO confidence when folkhead Folk steps up for a kick. Cut him!

kelticwizard Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 He's been reasonably reliable up to now. But today was just awful, there is no way they could have any confidence in Folk by the end of the game. I'd bring in some kickers, but would not necessarily cut Folk right away.

#27TheDominator Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 They were saying before the game that the turf was kind of funny and that the Jets had brought multiple types of shoes. Maybe that had something to do with it. +1 You could see his plant foot slipped and he switched shoes right after the short shank. I think it was pretty windy too, based on the way the kickoffs in one direction were hitting the back of the end zone. A terrible game to be sure, but let's not all panic. Again. A 24 yd kick you just CANNOT miss. Folk is awful. I always thought the worst move the Jets made was not to give Feely the extra 500K and bring him back. I have ZERO confidence when folkhead Folk steps up for a kick. Cut him! Jason Taylor + Folk > Jay Feely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
