Jackass Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 the most accrurate kicker in NFL history 1383629[/snapback] except for the kicks he shanked to spite Peyton Manning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vatican Hitsquad Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 except for the kicks he shanked to spite Peyton Manning. 1383644[/snapback] Right. All the career-joke making kicks he did to spite Manning and screw over every other teammate/coaching staff member on the Colts. The guy is clutch, but missed 2 of the 3 biggest kicks in in Colt post season history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The guy is clutch, but missed 2 of the 3 biggest kicks in in Colt post season history. 1383689[/snapback] He HAS made 11 game winning FG's in his career, but their are a few pressure kicks that stand out to me: 1: AFC Divisional round vs. Pittsburgh 2: AFC Wild Card game vs. Miami, misses game winning kick in OT 3: Season opener against NE in 2004, misses game tying kick 4: MNF comeback game vs. TB, misses in OT but gets a do-over on a "leaping" penalty. His second attempt is tipped at the line and he banks it in off the upright. The only time he ever came through with something "more" that the game on the line was the season finale against Houston in 2004 that won the AFC South for the Colts.

But when they REALLY mattered it seemed, REALLY MATTERED, he choked. And the idea that he would miss those kicks not because he choked but instead so he could stick it to Manning exposes the poster as either a Troll or a person of very limited knowledge of football. You guys are MUCH better off with Viniateri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wasn't disagreeing with you about the foolishness of the "sticking it to Manning" part of your post. I had alreadly dismissed that as a foolish comment. You guys are MUCH better off with Viniateri. 1383743[/snapback] I agree. Vandy can't kick off worth crap. The Colts have to carry a kick-off specialist. And even with a specialist they had only two touchbacks all season. Then I heard the Pats fans complaining about Vinatieri's kick-off problems. But Adam had 12 touchbacks last season. He's better in the clutch. He's accurate. And now he's indoors. I think it's an improvement. And in an off-season where the Colts lost a very underrated, and I might add one of my favorite players, in Edgerrin James as well as the starting strong-side linebacker, David Thornton, I'm at least glad we upgraded our kicking situation. I didn't think that was possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think that was possible. 1383764[/snapback] Still don't really understand letting Edge go, but this was a tremendous pickup, the guy is a killer... why, if he wern't related to Evel Knievel I thnk I would hate him for what he did to us a few years ago. I just can't, though. The guy ran down Hershel Walker for gods sakes, a kicker with a killer instinct, balls and the bloodline of a daredevil.

DMD Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 If Vandy does sign with Dallas, it will be in keeping with the Cowboy's goal this season to pick up every free agent who has ever bad-mouthed his own Pro Bowl quarterback before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
