Catanzaro was a hell of a pickup

[jf-08]

He booted it through the uprights on one of the kickoffs yesterday. Cannon for a leg.

Hey! AJCARDFAN...

RE: NOT having heard him in an interview yet.

I HAVE! (AZCARDS.COM)

He sounded very strong in his faith. (ie; referenced God a few times/ played for CLEMSON.) On the field he's "cool as a cucumber." I mentioned this about a week ago that a "consistent" kicker is part of a successful team. Obviously, you want TD's but 3 FG's from your kicker, a couple TD's from the O/D and you play solid defense...You're gonna' WIN most games you play.

I am NOT nervous when it's FG time now. I believe, including the pre-season, he's hit 20 straight now. AMAZING!!

Have a GREAT day!

MARK IN SC

ANOTHER DAY TO "BASK"!

Speaking as a 40 year fan, so far he is the best kicker this team has ever had and that included Jim Bakken. Rackers was good for 1 season and was effective but was way too inconstant. Feely was good but he too could throw in a clunker. But this kid is strong. Of course we've yet to see him kick under real game on the line pressure but to be honest, I hope we never have to.

It is fun having a real kicking threat on this team, like the Rams have.

 

[TigToad]

It was weird, I was driving to work today wondering if its too soon to offer him a multi-year deal.

Probably having the second best season ever for a Cards kicker after 05' Rackers. What a stud.

But is true in clmson they used a punter instead of cat for kick off?

he hasn't had to kick a game-winner or game-tying FG yet, but he has hit some crucial cushion kicks at the end of games which put the game out of reach (both the Giants and Redskins games). I was impressed with both, especially the first one against the G-men, on the road, knowing our backup QB was in there and that the D was tiring.

that said, you're right... there's much more pressure on the game winner, but I've got confidence in the kid.

Yes, apparently the punter had an even better leg on kickoffs, or so the coaches thought. Incredible eh?

Props to BA and Keim on this guy
