April Wine Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 just curious how we can have a 150 man roster and not have at least one guy who qualifies as a back up place kicker? 1 Quote Link to comment

There are plenty of legitimate things to complain about. I think this is a weird one. Most teams don’t focus on having a good backup kicker, because injuries to the kicker are so rare. This is more of a fluke thing. Quote Link to comment

They did have a back up walk on who kicked last weekend. They obviously felt like Armstrong was the better option. It's not like they can go get a kicker on free agency. 1 Quote Link to comment

I would say it was two running plays into a stacked line and a sack in OT, that cost them. GBR!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

No, but surely they have a kid on campus that can kick, or a soccer player or something. Haven’t heard any updates on pickering, but is sounded like he could be out this week too. We can’t just go the year without a kicker Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Most teams barely have one good kicker (cough Alabama cough) let alone two. 1 minute ago, HuskerJax said: No, but surely they have a kid on campus that can kick, or a soccer player or something.

We can’t just go the year without a kicker As other teams point out most teams don't have and can't find another kicker. Armstrong was the other kid on campus. Quote Link to comment

Martinez kicking a locker back in the day then pocket passing like Peyton Manning minus thumbs the rest of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment
