HuskerKing130 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I cant help but notice that we've only had Kunalic kick 1 field goal this whole year. Maybe we just havent had many field goal opportunities, but I say when u have a kicker who can kick 60+ yard field goals take advantage of it. I'd love to see Kunalic boot a 60 yarder against ISU or Mizzou Quote Link to comment
Zaimejs Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Have we missed a field goal or extra point? No. Okay. Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 im just saying if we get stopped at the 40 or something, maybe we should give kunalic a chance to boot a long 1 instead of punting it Quote Link to comment
HuskerMan Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Unfortunately we haven't ever had a big enough lead to take the risk of booting a field goal from the 40. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Also, I've heard Henery has the leg as well. It's kind of interesting - both these guys are frosh currently. Hopefully Kunalic doesn't leave, because he honestly is not getting a whole lot of PT. Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Yeah, u brought up a good point & thats the main reason y i brought this thread up. I dont think Kunalic is getting enough playing time & i think he should as he's clearly our best kicker (henery has a leg too, but not nearly as good as kunalic) so i think he deserves the most playing time Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Sometimes I figured the reason Callahan gives Henery all the shorter kicks is b/c he wants to save Kunalics leg for the long kicks but i dunno if thats the reason Quote Link to comment
I See Red People Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 IMO it doesn't make sense to have 2 place kickers. One gets the pat's and the short ones and other one gets what, rusty? Quote Link to comment
HuskerKing130 Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 I think that we should let Kunalic boot any field goal thats 55 yards or less on 4th down (unless we decide to go 4 it). I mean, this guy has that good of a leg Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Also, I've heard Henery has the leg as well. It's kind of interesting - both these guys are frosh currently. Hopefully Kunalic doesn't leave, because he honestly is not getting a whole lot of PT. As long as we're scoring they are getting equal playing time. Henery kicks the extra point and Kunilac follows up with the kick off. Adi will get plenty of chances to put points on the board in the future. Right now his best contribution is putting the ball in the endzone. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Haven't really had a bunch of opportunities yet. We're 4 games into the season. Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Kunalic might have the stong-er leg, but Henery looks like a more sound FG kicker. Adi kicks em too low Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Adi - stronger leg = kickoffs and a really long field goal or two Henery - more accurate = xp's and mid and short FG's makes sense to me Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I think if it came down to it in a Texas type of game where there is like 2 seconds left we are at the 45 or so and we need a big boot for the win Adi would come in. A situation like that getting an offensive touchdown isn't very likely. Can you imagine what the Cotton Bowl outcome would have been if we would have had Adi??? Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 *remembers watching Henery in high school* I don't think we're in danger of having Kunalic transfer away . . . where else do your touchbacks get a standing ovation? But even if he does, Henery is plenty capable of booting a 50+ yarder. Quote Link to comment
