Who are the good young kickers? Tucker was outstanding this year.

 

[WindCardinal]

I say we pick one in the 6th or 7th round.

 

[TJ]

Nick Folk if we go the free agent route.

The 2014 draft isn't promising for kickers. Kid from Clemson is intriguing, though.

 

[Brian]

The best on that list is Hauschka. Young, has improved every year, good beyond 50, and takes him away from Seattle.

Kickers in red are guys you don't want after looking at the stats on the NFL site. As bad or worse than Feely.

Nick Folk if we go the free agent route.

Folk may be best available. He is just 29 so could be here for many years if he delivers. I expect the Seahawks to keep Hauschka.
Boswell - Rice, Fera - Texas and Budzien - Northwestern are three good college kickers.

Which ones do the best on kickoffs?

Who remembers Steve Little? Or John Lee?

 

[earthsci]

The best on that list is Hauschka. Young, has improved every year, good beyond 50, and takes him away from Seattle.

This. Hauschka is very good.

Chickens absolutely love that kid though. Might as well take him off the board.

interesting story from Bickley

apparently the call for the final kickoff was for it in the middle of the field

Feeley kicked it right and upset the coverage scheme

Was Feely hurt at all? I just don't see someone's game dropping off that much that quickly.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Folk or haushka

Arians mentioned this in the post game. Feely cost us this game and is gone.
