Title: Re: "Alabama looking into adding grad transfer kicker" Post by: Chechem on January 26, 2018, 01:16:55 PM Quote "Austin's probably not as flashy as some of these younger guys and may not be good from 50-plus (yards), but I think he's going to be very consistent and he's going to get you the points," Johnson said. "Those 40- to 48-yard field goals that you've got to have to win, I think he'll be good for those. And then obviously the shorter stuff, he should be good, too. I just think he'll be a really steady kicker and do a really good job." :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2: Title: Re: ****** "Alabama looking into adding grad transfer kicker" ****** Post by: SUPERCOACH on January 26, 2018, 02:45:53 PM We should be able to get any kicker that we want. We just need to do a better job evaluating them and deciding who is the best. I wonder if that has anything to do with CBW's departure. :think:

I know you remember when we fussed cause the ST was letting big field condition on every kick. RTR!

God knows we could have used them.

He was 14-15 from inside 40 yards before the Natty. On the last FG, his plant foot slid 6 inches as the turf gave way. We won, I think I'm willing to forgive him. :-* Title: Re: ****** "Alabama looking into adding grad transfer kicker" ****** Post by: Chechem on January 27, 2018, 06:18:46 AM Gotta wonder why we didn't look into grad xfer kickers in previous years.
