SpinalTapp Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I love David Akers and his matchup this Sunday...but I don't like the weather report for frozen fields and 20mph winds. Perhaps I need to find me another option. In your opinion (I have mine), under what weather conditions does a kicker become at risk of poor performance?

buddahj Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 i was thinking the same thing. i'm not a fan of kickers in bad weather. unless it's that bare-footed kicker from denver a while back...rich karlis i think. g. hartley's on the wire...so i might just pick him up for this week.

I picked him up about an hour ago (cut some trash off the end of my roster) and will sit on him until I get a better sense of the weather in Philly on Sunday. Still trying to get some insight on the conditions that folks here use as go-no-go for their kickers. Is it 15mph winds or greater and you sit your guy? 20mph?

Zooty Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 20-25 mph and I look at other options but Akers is $ either way, plus you need to decide on Hartley tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Understood regarding my decision on Hartley...will check Philly weather report later today and see what wind forecast looks like. Supposed to be fine...Sunny, low 30's, 10-15 mph winds. Not sure you could ask for better for Philly in December Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantsfan Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 That should only help things out more. As the day goes on it will get better weather wise. Gaining the extra 3 hours should even lessen the wind/weather affect on the game one would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
