shiznit1083 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Ken Walter was released yesterday. Do you guys remember anyone sucking as bad as this guy? He has to be one of the worst punters ever. (Yeah I'm complaining about a punter, but I haven't had much to complain about this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Must be a great job to be a punter. you come on boot the ball up field as hard as you can, and go off again. How often? 6 times a week?? And whats more you can impress all the girls by saying you know I am a proffesional sports athlete! Maybe I should try out. I must be able to punt oh I dunno 10 yards!

yh Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Well, it's not necessarily that simple. For example, if you play for the Rams, you're often expected to make tackles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Hey, no worries about complaining about the kicking game. You don't have to look any further than the 49ers!Jeff Chandler loses his job for one miss FG.Then John York and his puppets sign Owen Pochman. Everyone in the 49er world goes, WHO?The who was answered:Oh! The guy who cost the 49ers 3 games and could've left the team in contention rahter than the biggest joke that side of the Bay. Raiders coach Bill Calahan says he has "the dumbest team in America." At least he doesn't have the cheapest and dumbest front office in America. That says a lot since "the genius" Bill Walsh is in the front office. But that's another rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky34 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 my niners haven't had a good kicker since Ray Wersching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan696 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 i know Walter, he was here for a few years... Sauerbrun has been a much better punter (last year Pro Bowl) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I love havin Jeff Wilkins at K, and I'm really glad to have Sean Landeta back at P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 my niners haven't had a good kicker since Ray Wersching!Well, actually...Mike Cofer was decent (wait, I just checked his stats...nevermind), and people seem to forget that we had Gary Anderson (for a year!) and Jeff Wilkins for a spell. I agree with you though, the Niners haven't had a reliable kicker that stuck around since Wersching though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky34 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 We have had a few good seasons at Kicker..but not a good kicker! Doug Brien?????? JOSE??? I don't know what happened with Chandler...he must have been friends with Janikowski and doing X or something!!!!Wilkins was the one we should have kept...but OH WELL.

NJTank Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Here is my philosphy on kickersKickers never win games they only lose them.Kickers are a dime a dozen if you find a good one you are lucky, but never overpay a kicker because after 5 years he will likely start to suck like every other kickers.To determine a good kicker he must make no less then the following numbers99% of extra points90% of FGs under 35 yards80% of kick 35-45 Yard FGs75% of 45-50 yard FGs50% of kicks over 50.Kickoffs should be touchbacks no less the 70% of the time.And Punts should always be either over 40 yards or inside the 20.

Saintsfan Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Here is my philosphy on kickersKickers never win games they only lose them.Adam Vinatieri might disagree on this point! I seem to remeber him winning a couiple of important games. (Thats not to say another kicker wouldn't have won those games as well but hey!)

Puckguy14 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 The one thing I think the Sunday Night Football crew talked about is the FG kickers are more accurate this season than ever. 85% of kicks attempted have been good. You can guess where the 15% came from...That's the product cheap ownership puts out. York signed Pochman to a minimum salary deal. You get what you pay for. and now if the 49ers don't show any sign of what they should've been this year, Erickson could be gone before you can say Happy New Year. MOOCH COME BACK!!!! PLEASE!!!

You can guess where the 15% came from...i know where 3 missed FGs and 1 missed PAT came from last Sunday. our boy Kasay who's been as solid as anyone in the league for our 10yr existance, had a rotten, rotten, and i mean rotten day. and this was at home on grass during a perfect clear, crisp "football weather" kinda day (go figure?).

But my goodness, I saw the 49ers-Raiders game from last year. Here is Jose Cortez's stats: Made from: 20, 22 Missed 27, 39. Clear day in Oak-town. Pochman vs. the Cardinals missed ones from at least from 25+ yards. Shoot! We should call Landon Donovan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagan696 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 look for Carolina Panther punter Todd Sauerbrun on MTV's Cribs this season. he can kick the snot out of the ball, but turn your eyes away if he's called on to throw... it's been real ugly the 2 times he's attempted this year, ugh!

DEAD! Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 So who would you take as a kicking duo? I'll take K - Adam Vinateri and P- Darren Bennett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I'll take K Todd Peterson and P Bill LaFleur. Uh, wait a sec...Seems like the best the Niners can do...Gimmie K Mike Vanderjagt and (as much as I despise the Panthers) P Todd Sauerbrun.
