For as process oriented as Peterlips is, every day a grind, every minute a war to get better and better at the sequential order of every fucking breath, every hour a gift from the allmighty to improve and repeat methods and fine tune details, or whatever his philosophy is...
Why do his kickers suck so much? Even at Boise they lost him games. -
Angry and questioning over special teams inadequacies PGOS is best PGOS.PostGameOrangeSlices said:For as process oriented as Peterlips is, every day a grind, every minute a war to get better and better at the sequential order of every fucking breath, every hour a gift from the allmighty to improve and repeat methods and fine tune details, or whatever his philosophy is...

Kickers are a fucking crapshoot. Nobody at the college level has any idea how to rate them or recruit them. You can identity who has a strong leg but nobody has figured out how to identify who can handle the pressure in game situations. You get a kid with a strong leg and hope he has the sack to handle the pressure, and the mental fortitude to push through it when he chinevitably blows a game.PostGameOrangeSlices said:For as process oriented as Peterlips is, every day a grind, every minute a war to get better and better at the sequential order of every fucking breath, every hour a gift from the allmighty to improve and repeat methods and fine tune details, or whatever his philosophy is...

Pete keeps whiffing. Hopefully Horn can break the streak. He certainly has the leg.
Based on his high school performance, I'm not optimistic. -
I fondly remember FSU recruiting the #1 kicker in the nation to fix their wide right woes, and him sucking too.HillsboroDuck said:

Also when UW got Randy Jones, the #1 kicker in the nation who kicked a 59 yard FG for Ferris. He also sucked balls. -
Do you have any evidence that his field goal kicking over his career sucks more than normal? Obviously the Nevada choke and to a lesser extent the TCU game the next year stick out but thats not enough to conclude this is a long-standing pattern.PostGameOrangeSlices said:For as process oriented as Peterlips is, every day a grind, every minute a war to get better and better at the sequential order of every fucking breath, every hour a gift from the allmighty to improve and repeat methods and fine tune details, or whatever his philosophy is...

Bring in your top 10 prospects based on film and have them compete for a scholarship over a weekend. Best one gets an offer. How is that for high pressure?HillsboroDuck said:

That's only half the battle though. You need to see how they bounce back from a crippling miss. There's no way in that environment for one miss to mean enough to cripple them AND for them to have another big kick afterwards.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

Blair Walsh was a fucking machine early in his NFL career. He misses one big kick and he's toast. -
I get it, kickers are hard to evaluate. Petersens have still sucked more than they shouldHillsboroDuck said:
