dangggg !! The Shanny Injury Jinx is bacckkkkk !!!!!

This takes us out of any conversation post season. Shanny needs an A-1 kicker to win games more than a dynamic processing qb. I can't believe this is happening.

No worries. I've seen a lot of fans say it's no problem to just sign a kicker off the street. That's what they were saying when they were complaining about Moody.

Not with Eddie. Now go find another one. The fact is kickers all around the league are having accuracy problems this year. Lots ot missed extra points and misses on short FGs. It looks like they've sacrificed accuracy for distance. Seven teams have changed kickers already this year.

Not with the two that replaced Moodys ass last year either.

The fact is that's what you do when a kicker isn't doing his one job; replace. Not blow a 3rd round pick on him to give unwarranted long leashes. And you answered your own dilemma; the fact that seven teams changed kickers this year supports all of the "complaining" fans thoughts of them being available on the street.

Well it wasn't too difficult to find Eddy, so I'm sure we can find somebody. Its best not to get too attached to a kicker. That what hurt us with Moody.

No it supports how erratic kickers can be. Even some veteran kickers that have had decent careers have problems. Slumps just like hitters in baseball. When ther Niners got Piniero was because he was released by someone else. He comes here and kicks well. Same for Gould. He started struggling with longer kicks in Chicago so they let him go. He was great in SF from 50 yards in. The Niners moved on from him and drafted Moody because he had a stronger leg and they wanted someone that could kick it into the end zone. He was fine his first year and then he hurt his leg in year 2. He wasn't the same when he came back. So it ended up being a wasted pick but at the time they felt they needed a kicker with a strong leg. He was considered one of the top 2 coming out of college. It's not the first time a team used a high pick on a kicker.
