Wisc_Husker Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 One of my friends put this together, he wondered how many pro kickers could have stood up and hit a clutch kick of that length. We all knew that was a helluva kick, but these stats really show how difficult that kick was! Kicker Team Career Long FG Alex Henery Nebraska Huskers 57 yds. Neil Rackers Arizona Cardinals 55 yds. Joe Nedney San Francisco 49ers 56 yds Josh Brown St. Louis Rams 58 yds Olindo Mare Seattle Seahawks 54 yds Nick Folk Dallas Cowboys 53 yds John Carney New York Giants 54 yds Sean Suisham Washington Redskins 52 yds David Akers Philadelphia Eagles 57 yds. Dan Carpenter Miami Dolphins 47 yds Jay Feely New York Jets 55 yds. Stephen Gostkowski New England Patriots 52 yds Rian Lindell Buffalo Bills 54 yds. Jason Elam Atlanta Falcons 63 yds Matt Bryant Tampa Bay Buccaneers 62 yds John Kasay Carolina Panthers 56 yds Garrett Hartley New Orleans Saints 44 yds Matt Stover Baltimore Ravens 55 yds Jeff Reed Pittsburg Steelers 53 yds Phil Dawson Cleveland Browns 56 yds Shayne Graham Cincinnati Bengals 53 yds Robbie Gould Chicago Bears 49 yds Ryan Longwell Minnesota Vikings 55 yds Mason Crosby Green Bay Packers 53 yds Jason Hanson Detroit Lions 56 yds Matt Prater Denver Broncos 56 yds Nate Kaeding San Diego Chargers 54 yds Sebastian Janikowski Oakland Raiders 57 yds. Connor Barth KC Chiefs 43 yds Kris Brown Houston Texans 57 yds. Rob Bironas Tennessee Titans 60 yds Adam Vinitieri Indianapolis Colts 57 yds. Josh Scobee Jacksonville Jaguars 53 yds Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Never realized that KC has the worst kicker in the league...fitting though with the rest of the team they have. Quote Link to comment
lilred Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Holy crap! Henery has shown he is consistent, he should be playing in the NFL. Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Holy crap! Henery has shown he is consistent, he should be playing in the NFL. SHUT UP!! We don't want the kid to bolt after his Jr. year for the NFL, do we? Don't give him any ideas!! Quote Link to comment
hastingshusker Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Its good to see some former Huskers near the top of that list. The browns...GBR Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Holy crap! Henery has shown he is consistent, he should be playing in the NFL. SHUT UP!! We don't want the kid to bolt after his Jr. year for the NFL, do we? Don't give him any ideas!! I wonder if there has ever been a kicker to leave early Quote Link to comment

CoachKevin Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The Posts are wider apart in College. It is a much easier Kick to make than it is in the NFL because of this. Quote Link to comment

It is a much easier Kick to make than it is in the NFL because of this. actually thats not true anymore, and it wouldnt have mattered on his kick. that would have been good in arena football Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Never realized that KC has the worst kicker in the league...fitting though with the rest of the team they have. You're right, but I don't think that kicker has been with the team for even half the season. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Was it the Saints recently, that hired the winner of some halftime kick contest to replace their bad Kicker? And he had to forfeit his halftime prize to do so? Quote Link to comment

And he had to forfeit his halftime prize to do so? You mean Matt Williams, he is from Texas Tech. He won free rent at halftime and had to give it up because Leach wanted him to join the team.
