medicineman Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Can anybody explain why this nut job is still on the team? I remember in the off season the media said this guy is set out to prove he is second to none. Now it is safe to say that the entire team is making mistakes and not playing good but the kicker IMO is something that you should never have to think twice about. We have to consider even going for it on 4th down because this guy has a 30% chance of making a 30 yard fg. Every other teams kicker is just about automatic from that range but not our guy, We need to drop this guy and sign a FA, there has got to be more than a dozen vets who are out of work who would love to get back on the field. Everybody said this was the best kicker in the draft, Well I find that hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when does the NFL have to give a KICKER time to develop? A kicker should be ready at moments notice period. Talk to you in a couple years give me a break, This guy should not even be in the NCAA as far as most of us are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorsRpussies Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Why did we let that scrub that missed 3 FG against go. He ended up being good the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hx214 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 The only reason I can see the leash this guy is getting is because they drafted him. Dude seriously killed momentum in the Vikings game more than once. He shanked that 26 yarder that a high school kid would call a chip shot.

Everybody said this was the best kicker in the draft, Well I find that hard to believe. Because he won the Groza award as the best college kicker? Doesn't necessarily mean anything, as Martin "Automatica" Grammatica won it too, and he was far less than automatic in the pros.(was drafted even higher than Gonzalez, 3rd round IIRC) Gonzalez was kept over Parkey solely because of his superior distance on kickoffs. PS Heard we're going to have some kicker auditions during the bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob806 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 It is odd that he's struggling. Tampa bay cut Aguyayo, another highly rated kicker that won the Groza Award too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you have noticed but we aren't an offensive juggernaut right now. There are plenty of times where an missed field goal or XP can change a W to an L. Of all the Sheet thats hard to find we should be able to get someone more consistent as a kicker, i mean FFS its a kicker we are talking about here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hey Now..Kickers have hot wives too..Ok, it's the Bye Week so I have spanned the Globe on Kick lickers. Get your Paper footballs ready..It's The Jets fault & Ghoolies..But Hey, The Bengals are the real losers..Only 2 Kickers got Drafted in 17. The best Rookie Kicker so far, turns out to be once playing in Ghoolie's back yard, kicking over wires & between telephone poles in Memphis,Tenn..Jake Elliott..(once treasured as a projected 7th rounder) the BenGals grabbed Jake in Rd.5(153). He sucked so bad in Ohio air at camp that Bengals traded Elliott to Eagles(awe yes the sour piss air of Pennsylvania) Elliott is 16 of 19 84.2% FG's..XP-18 of 20=90%..Stick to scouting Kickers Ghools..Ah yes, this here Zane feller. c' amigo.(once treasured as a projected 3 or 4th rounder) We traded with the Jets our 5th(181) & 6th(188) to receive a 4th(160) T-Rod Johnson & gained a 7th(224) to grab K-Zane Gonzalez. Zane is 7 of 11-63.6% FG% 12 of 13 on XP 92.3%..It's ok to draft the top rated K'er in the 7th round..but what the FO/Tabor decides to do on a young struggling K'er could turn out to be Bengal'lish..Man, we have all had enough of Bengal'ish this Week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chargers had Koo, and he was young. He did bad like one game or something and they cut him and found a better kicker. There's plenty of legit kickers, I think they just want a young one to grow with "the process". Maybe they're hoping Zane will be good in 2-3 years.

Orion Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 No real rush to boot the kicker. We're 0-8. If they wanna give him a chance to learn how to kick under NFL pressure...fine. If they wanna go find another one...fine. We're 0-8. What's the worse that can happen? We lose a game because of the kicker? Doesn't seem like we'll get that close in a game.

TexasAg1969 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 And Parkey misses the extra point for Miami. 6-3 Miami over Oak @ 10:37 to go in the 2nd period. And then recovers his own onside kick. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
