I have still not recovered from that.

I think he'll be fine. He's young. I'm sure every kicker has missed a kick like that.

True, very young and probably really nervous. I was looking at the Falcon's kicker Ryan's stats. He's one of the best but also 40 yrs old and was really average to good most of his career. His stats improved later in his career. Main thing he did a lot right that game, including a sweet punt.

I am sure.
Just that he must not do it again.

He can title the next one "unemployed."

I didn't think Hocker would win the job over Hopkins.

The most important thing a kicker can do, is make the last kick of the game.
Make the 4th Quarter kick.
If you cant do that, especially a 30 yarder, I got no use for you.

People talk sh&$ about Hartley, but he made the one that counted, didnt he?

Like DAnno said. I think we might have another Hartley. Hartley 2.0 that is. Can make the long ones but cannot hit the broad side of a barn inside 30. Hope hes not another head case.

Kickers that miss chip shots under pressure.
