Bring back Ficken

#1

I have no confidence in Myers. Caldwell needs to consider bringing back Ficken or picking up a veteran kicker who gets cut.

How many opportunities did fickin have to kick Fgs in the preseason before being cut? I only remember one. He made it.

He also hit an XP off the uprights. If ficken was any good he would still be on the team. Myers needs to improve his consistency or we will pick someone off the streets.

Myers had plenty of time. He needs to go. Anyone who does not see that is a moron.

He hit game winners from 58 and 53 against Miami and Baltimore last season. He missed one from 57 tonight. Are we seriously gonna give up on him? If you're gonna cut him, don't bring Ficken back. Go get a proven vet.

I have no problem with them cutting Myers since he hasn't played well, but the fixation with ficken is a bit silly. He was no better than Myers. We just need to hope someone decent gets cut.

Didn't Ficken doink a chip shot in game 3?


Meyers missed a 57 yarder and I honestly don't know the length on the second one


Edit: sounds like number 2 was a 49 yarder.

Never said anything about Ficken. I just want Myers cut. I thought Gus preaches competition.

No to Ficken, but we MUST bring in another kicker. Myers is erratic and completely unreliable, even on the chip shots. There will undoubtedly be some veteran kickers cut in the next couple of days, who would be big upgrades.

This. I don't really want Ficken any more than I want Myers. I'm hoping Forbath gets cut and we can snag him.

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

Myers has proven to be consistently unreliable.  Find another kicker.

Ficken was no better. Watch his field goal from the Bengals game. Oof.

Let's not forget that Josh Scobee struggled early in his career, as well. That being said, this team can't afford to lose 2-3 games because of special teams blunders. I'd love to give Myers time to develop, but I'm just not sure we have the time to wait.

I hear a lot about Ficken hitting the up-right, but how many times did Myers miss xtra points last year?

This is like when we were looking for a kicker after Hollis was gone. We went through quite a few scrubs before we found Scobee. Meyers is basically Seth Marler. He is not the answer.

Myers isn't good. Ficken was worse.
