Shorttynaz Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Nate Freese has been cut by the Lions and Alex Henry has been signed. FINALLY, I now have two kickers in the Message Board League III again!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud29 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 As a Nebraska homer, I've always been a big fan of Henery. I thought he did pretty well in Philly, good to see he has a job again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also couldn't reach the end zone on kick offs. Not to blame one guy for the playoff loss to the saints, but I totally blame henery for the Eagles loss to the saints.

stevegrab Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 weak leg and not accurate beyond 40 yards. He'll be out of job again soon He even had several misses inside 40 yards, He was 74/86 in 3 years, but almost half those misses are under 40. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HeneAl00.htm Also from the stats above, his % made dropped every year, not good. But if I recall Freese was just horrible, yep 3/7 and missed all 4 over 40. I saw earlier that the Lions were contemplating what to do, sounds like they decided pretty quickly. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FreeNa00.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 They should have signed Jay Feeley....then I'd have two kickers in the Message league! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud29 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 weak leg and not accurate beyond 40 yards. He'll be out of job again soon Not sure how he ranked throughout the league, but over the last 3 seasons he had a 77% completion percentage for FGs 40+, not too far off from big-name guys like Vinatieri (79%), Janikowski (73%), and Gostkowski (78%) over those same 3 years. I would agree that he does not have a strong leg like some guys in the NFL. He did set the school record in Nebraska for longest made FG though, so he's not totally incompetent in that area IMO. Kickoffs have never been his strong suit, I will say that - at Nebraska they had a 2 kicker system, with Henery doing FGs and Maher doing kickoffs.

Should be cut tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'd say the Lions will be taking a long look at Prater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
