Haha, yea it was.I know I'm off subject here, but I can't resist commenting on Alabama's winning kick -- that was the ugliest FG I've ever seen. I was stunned that kick made it through the crossbars. (Ok, if you need to move this, no problem)
The sky is blue.Our lineman all need to bench 1000 lbs and run 4.2 forties too... Im happy with what we have at kicker, and if it never gets any better than i would still be happy.
I don't think our opponents got the ball between the 30-40 yard line to start, for the most part, this year. Now, Michigan was different. It would have helped to have a kicker kick it through the endzone in that game so that Breaston couldn't return the ball.I guess if you want to risk giving the opponent the ball between the 30-40 yard line almost every kickoff, then having a strong kicking leg isnt too important.Should he strengthen is leg even if it means sacrificing accuracy?Its obvious that he needs to strengthen his kicking leg, why are we even having this little skirmish??
And why? Because I think it's obvious it takes more than a strong leg to be a good FG kicker.
Field position is important in the game of football too. Or would you disagree??
They had a sound byte from a Bama radio announcer. He was halfway laughing when he said "that was the most beautiful kick he has ever seen" :clapI know I'm off subject here, but I can't resist commenting on Alabama's winning kick -- that was the ugliest FG I've ever seen.

The sky will also be blue… and the field will be green.i miss a lot of predicts, but i got this one correct......said it last summer or early fall before the season started......."Congdon will be excellent and win a game or 2 for us".......my 2006 prediction......"Cody Glenn comes on big time this year....and surprises a lot of people, even his coaches".

I'm still not sold on him. I think he did improve somewhat on getting his kicks higher but his leg is not real strong at this point. He's terrible at kick offs and I wouldn't have much for confidence in him over 40 yards even getting it there. Hopefully he continues to improve.So, is there any question anymore as to why congdon got the start? Not a bad year from a freshman.
Didn't see this coming. :wacko: What do you want? He made flippin 82% of his field goals. Your boy Dyches made 66%. Last time I checked he only kicked off if we needed it put high or if we squibbed it. He was a freakin Freshman All American for crying out loud. I'm sure FSU and Penn State wished they had him since their kickers missed field goals within the 40 yard range.I'm still not sold on him.
