No kicker, use Whelan for kickoffs and go for it on all 4th downs in scoring range.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

Instead of panic and chaos, let's sift through this logically. Ol' Fritz here has been doing some careful, long-term research about what makes for a successful punter or kicker in the NFL, and I'd like to offer you wide-eyed panic-button pushing kids a sure-fire way to find a successful NFL punter or kicker. Again, very analytical, very detailed, so try to follow me on this.Originally posted by smuggler View PostMadness option. I'm down.
First, if your punter

or your kicker

looks like a twelve-year old at a Punt, Pass and Kick competition, it's certain failure. As we can see by the two above former Packers.
So that means you must scour the available specialists - in this case, kickers - for the right look. But it's more than just looks - I told you this was some complicated shit - it's also the right background. Daniel Whelan, rugby player?
Now, bringing all these extensive, in-depth factors and reasonings together, it simply remains to research the available kickers and see who's the most bad-ass.
Austin Siebert:
Meh. On the plus side, he's got facial hair, at least, so we know he looks at least fifteen. On the downside, when he wasn't employed, he was helping out as a volunteer coach for his high school football team. That lowers the score; whereas if he were like Matt Prater, who used to booze it up in his free time, his score would be far higher.
Spencer Shrader:

God no. No, no, no, no, a thousand times no. Is he out of seventh grade yet?
And Nick Folk:

Finally. Will he be available? Who knows. But you can see the irrefutable, cold-as-steel rigorand lolgic of my scientific calculations. Thus, once the Packers do find their kicker, we can accurately predict his success in Green Bay."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Titans waived Narveson.Originally posted by sharpe1027 View PostIf the Titans like Narveson, Folk could become available. Doesn't have the strongest leg anymore, but he's accurate.
Teams have until noon ET tomorrow to put in waiver claims.I can't run no more

Mason Crosby has the perfect kickoff leg with the new rules. I'm not sure he can even get it past the end zone anymore...lolTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

The last time the Packers won the Super Bowl Mason Crosby was 26th in the NFL in FG% You can win with a mediocre kicker if the TEAM is good enough. Even after Carlson missed that FG against the 49ers, the Packers had a 4 point lead. A good defense could have saved the day.I can't run no more
