Peyton pulling away from Horn

jecornel

How many losses does the kicking account for this season?

Does Peyton get the job done this year?

haie

I don't know but hopefully whatever team we lose to we have them dead to rights with time expiring and then lose in OT so their fans can say they "owned" us on Twitter!!!

dnc

You mean the kid who made less than half his kicks in high school might not be especially accurate?

Chris Sailer is a @NEsnake12 oil salesman.

I cant wait to punt or go for it every time we're between the opposing team's 25 and 40 yard line

The only thing I was hoping from Horn this year are touchbacks on kickoffs. Anything more is gravy.

I hate you

Good thing we’re going to take a scholarship punter and long snapper this class to add to our special teams prowess.

Statistically, it's supposed to be better to go for every single 4th down.

If Pete were to go for it on 4th every time on the opponents 45-20, I'd actually be okay with it

At least it won’t be Browning going for it this year

Agreed, but it's different if it's by choice. Not having a reliable kicking game will almost always buttfuck you at some point in the season. It's also something that's plagued Pete forever.

Every time? Not even close.

More often than most coaches go for it? Yes, especially early in the game or when the field goal doesn’t cross a key number.

But it will kill us when we need a FG to win or tie at the end.

Every time is hyperbole, but studies have shown your odds of winning increase by going for it at every opportunity. Too risky for any coach though, even Leach.

Still doesnt negate the fact a reliable kicking game is a season saver in close games.

This is what ten years of data recommends vs what happens in the NFL.

Kicking the FG is usually the best move.

Meek

my hope is that the loss (LOL) of Browning means we won't be making so many field goal attempts

Penace

Don James always used walk-ons to man the kicker and punter positions.
The only two scholarship specialists that I can recall that weren't total pieces of shit were John Anderson and Sean McDonald.

No studies show that. Maybe you are thinking of the high school coach in Arkansas that never punts or kicks field goals but 1. that is high school where they can't kick anyway and 2. he has vastly superior talent

Husky skeeet posted the chart- most coaches punt far too often but aren't that far off on when they take the points.

Obviously that chart is based on pure expected points and doesn't take into account the game situation.

I see boobs and a gash.

Edit: That’s an ass.

Sean Douglas was really fucking good. Unfortunately he had WAC or lesser talent running downfield to cover his monster punts. Doogs blamed him for the punt coverage woes.

There have been a couple of decent field goal kickers since Anderson, but none that compared to him. His performance in that AC in Pullman, nailing clutch 47-48 yarders in tough conditions, should be legendary but tends to get forgotten.

If we are kicking field goals burn the fucking program down

I'm still pissed Peyton isn't Messican so we can't deport him.
