He is called on at one moment to make a FG to win the game, send them to play-offs. I think they should make big bucks and no media coverage. lol, RTR!

I listen to WWL alot .. the call in sports show should be interesting for the next few days :D Title: Re: Saints FG Kicker Receives Huge Deal Post by: deahl001 on March 03, 2011, 11:07:44 AM I don't see any problem with it. The key in the NFL is that they can cut him any time they think it isn't worth it anymore.
Side note, I have always thought kicker was a fantastic job! Decent job, good money and no real threat of long term injuries.

Strange how no team will draft a FG kicker in the first round, yet they probably win at least 3-4 games a year for a team. Title: Re: Saints FG Kicker Receives Huge Deal Post by: Chechem on March 03, 2011, 11:36:34 AM Pressure? Give me a break. His job is more narrowly defined than any other position. All he has to do is (1) step off the strides; (2) look up at the goal post; (3) kick; (4) throw up his arms and get hugged; and (5) drink beer.

They are what 5th or 6th round type pick? RTR! Title: Re: Saints FG Kicker Receives Huge Deal Post by: ricky023 on March 03, 2011, 11:40:08 AM Pressure? Give me a break.

I bet kicker from the Giants in 1991 was just a tad nervous or what about Venateri in the super bowl for New England. I bet they sweated out over 1/2 million dollars worth of sweat especially when your ready to kick it and some idiot on the other side calls time-out. lol, RTR!

(1) FG gets hit while trying FG by 240# LB, (2) 170# FG has to tackle 210# Kick Returner because everyone else missed him, (3) 170# FG Kicker gets blocked by 255# player on KO Return Title: Re: Saints FG Kicker Receives Huge Deal Post by: ricky023 on March 03, 2011, 11:56:06 AM :D :P ;)
