K Matt Prater injury

They will sign a street FA kicker someone serviceable no huge biggie. Prater kinda sucks anyway. Lol
Eno baby. Forks up!

No! This could be a problem. If you think Prater sucks….it could get pretty ugly with somebody off the street.
Not that it’ll be a factor next week but when the games are close it sure will.
ehhh not really concerned.

Everytime Prater kicks me happy it went in but think why does that ball take that weird arc

He's perfect so far this year...not really suckage.
Give him time he will come back to the mean and much closer to his last two seasons if he gets healthy. He is what he is.

You have to go back to Jim Bakken to find a consistent Cardinal kicker. I would take a damaged Prater over Rackers in a big kick moment.

Too much good stuff
To be honest, I prefer Eno doing an unpredictable kick bouncing around on the 10 or 15 yard line rather than a kick in the endzone. Return team doesn't seem to know where it's going or what to do with it.

Kliff will be even MORE likely to go for it on 4th down with a back up kicker
Woooooo

Eno actually got me thinking about kick off possibilities today. Teams don't usually account for the kicker as much as the others, allowing Eno to both kick the ball and make the tackle
Why don't teams do this? How hard is it to teach a special teams player to kick off decently and consistently? Not punts, not field goals, just kick offs
You'd probably be top 5 in yards allowed after the kick... or is it safer to just boot it in the enzone?

It's football season!!
Jay Feely must have a kick or two left in him! Or maybe redemption for Bill Gramatica?!

Hold onto the ball, Murray!

On kickoffs, I wonder why we've never gone back to the old pop-up kicks to around the 30-35 any longer, or why other teams don't try these. We used to recover those at a decent rate, from what I can recall.

Yeah, I don't think field goals are going to matter too much against the Eagles.

Same. The ball was fumbled all 3 times Eno kicked it off.

Eno kicked off 3 times yesterday?
Wow… I must have been REALLY smashed because I have ZERO memory of that.
And he did a good job

That was AMAZING. It was one of the best special teams plays I have ever seen. Kick the ball and make a solo tackle being the first defender to the ball... brilliant.

Oh, I was pretty drunk by kickoff. A rarity for me. I almost never drink watching Cardinals or Suns games.I didn't start drinking until after the game.

Hey you’re onto something. If one of your stud kickoff team guys can actually kick the ball then why not use him instead of your FG kicker?
He’s a better (extra) tackler and you don’t risk your FG kicker on kickoffs.
