Feely has got to go!

[PJ1]

Feely is gone. They tried to replace him coming into this season. He was ok on field goals for the most part. Leg just too weak on kickoffs. Just one part of special teams that needs improvement.

 

[NJCardFan]

There's always a few FA kickers with starter talent. Check back in February. Phil Dawson and Adam Vinateri are two FA's

Not exactly getting younger with those names.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Name me a viable replacement and maybe I'll agree. There is no one who will be available who is viable.

This is it

who cares? better is better, no?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Unless your name is Mendenhall. Why he kept trotting him out there when he drops the rock so often is beyond me. Maybe he has pictures or something.

this is one of the only thing that's bothered me about Arians this year. continually trotting out a guy who's averaging 3.1 ypc, who's doesn't protect the rock and continually getting him more touches then Ellington just didn't make sense all year.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

True. But when your kicker misses the two shortest attempts of the four he took, and you lose by three--- It kinda stands out.

Not going to help his case that it was the last game of the season either...

Coaches will have a while to stew on those misses.

 

[Duckjake]

In his defense it was clear as day that one of them was the holders fault who failed to get the laces out. It's the same reason the 49er kickers missed his sort FG.

No, the 49ers kicker missed because we have the most amazing FG defense in the history of the NFL.

The incredible Cardinals "3 and out" defense.

 

[Snakester]

New kicker and two new returners. Our special teams was not very special this year.

Cardinals will go younger and cheaper at kicker IMO. That is one area where BASK can improve and still spend less salary cap money. They'll probably spend a draft choice on a young college kicking stud who can serve the franchise reliably for the next 10-12 years. {See what the Ravens and Rams have done the last couple of years.}

I agree. Yesterday he was dancing at the line and instead of running through the hole he ran into the guard and looked like he was trying to climb on his back. All that dancing at the line of scrimmage just drives me nuts.

I agree. This should be a no brainer. What are there, 50-75 kickers a year coming out of college? Seems like it would be an easy position to fill.
