    Forget about Gostowski, at 35 he is way too young. NYJ should make a deal for ex-Brady teammate, K Adam Vinatieri, who at 46 years of age, will complement Brady very well. Throw in a bonus of matching rocking chairs for the two, just for showing up, and we'll be good to go for the season.

    Absolutely right. Opening day kicker not presently on the roster.

    I’m referring to this year only. I know Myers was great for us last season but if you’re going to let him go then you have to have a backup plan. Clearly the Jets thought they could just bring back Myers competition from last year and all would be fine.

    Am I the only one who has noticed that nobody mentions in all the coverage she is getting that she is taking a 10 yard run up to the ball which is about 7 more steps than you would really get on a kick?

    Macs plan was to just bring back Chandler Bing "The Northeast is too cold and scary" Catanzaro and assume everything will be fine. Douglas was the one who had this mess dumped in his lap and now he's scrambling to fix it all the while burning the midnight oil trying to bring our secondary up to par

    cold hard reality may be that there just isn't anybody as of right this second all that much better than Bertolet willing to come here. Maybe we did give Matt Bryant a call and he said not interested Atlanta or retirement

    I’d imagine guys as old as 45 can still hit kicks from 50+. It’s less about strength and more about how they swing their leg.

    Parkey was 23 out of 30 on FG's last year. 42 out of 45 on extra points. And of course the EPIC FAIL double doink to eliminate the Bears from the playoffs. All of that sounds much better than Taylor Bertolet at least. :D

    Parkey also kicked for Gase in Miami in 2017, going 21 out of 23. Pretty good.

    It would be hysterically funny if Parkey got a job somewhere and ended up having a better year than whatever clown the Bears end up using, further establishing that no one knows anything about kickers.

    She also waits for the ball to be spotted before even starting her approach, rendering the snap completely superficial and pointless.

    No thanks. Beating a dead horse but what's wrong with Ross Martin that we aren't seeing?

    I don't know but whatever it is applies to all 32 teams because nobody's showed interest in him.

    I'm all for bringing in Parkey. It would be an upgrade over what we have. He had it rough with that double dinker, but I'm pretty sure it was partially blocked.

    Yes, let’s hope this guy who could upgrade our kicking game gets signed somewhere else first. With all of the amazing options available at the moment, we might as well be patient.

    So our kicking game is shit and IF we sign Parkey and its still shit = if that makes you feel better yes by all means sign the guy. IMO the guy sucks and I want no part of him if they sign him feel free to PM me and I will give you a website or 2 where you can save money on your Cody Parkey jersey . I am happy to disagree with you on Parkey 81.

    Disagree? You’re the one who said he’s better then what we’ve got! So you’d rather go into the season with a crappier kicker then what’s available? Makes sense.
