Who will be our kicker this season?

[CANHawk]

Kickers aren't real football players. Any dope soccer player can kick field goals... Go pillage the MLS for a kicker. Those guys only make like $50k/yr, they'd jump at a $250k nfl contract.

So the bunch of guys at Home depot are not going to get it ?? Now we need Major League Soccer kickers.
I have to point out that they're not football players either, at least the kind we're discussing.
We're getting closer though.

Dude, the MLS guys ARE the guys hanging around in front of home depot whenever they aren't playing wuss ball. Kickers are a dime a dozen. Paying $3m for a glorified kickball player is Loony Tunes...

Loony maybe...but they just did it. Besides, you'll never convince me that bunch of guys in front of Home depot are MLS players, though I don't have direct evidence to the contrary. Besides, I think the only time MLS players hang in bunches
is when they're waiting for the designated mom to pick them up in the Suburban.

If this was the case, then there would be a bunch of "dope soccer players" kicking FG's in the NFL.

The fact is kicking requires not just practice and skill, but a certain mindset/personality. Hauschka is a great kicker for more than just his accuracy and strong leg, he has a very calm nature about him personality wise.

Sorry, but MLS players don't step into the league and go 43/45 with 2-3 game winners every year. If they could, then would make 250k over 50k. What, you think they play soccer over football because they love the sport? LOL.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Soccer, how cute.

 

[Snakeeyes007]

I'm not saying I'm clairvoyant, but I have a very strong feeling Hauschka will return under a 3 yr. deal in the neighborhood of Oooh, around 9 million. Call it a hunch.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That's a good prediction. I think they will re-sign Bennett too.

Also, we landed on the moon.

So dumb when we could have got Pele to come out of retirement and kick for $10 a week.

OMG this is an outrage! For this kind of money, the guys out front of Home Depot would kick your field goals plus unload your truck, build you a deck, put your Christmas lights up, take your Christmas lights down AND clean your gutters.

Such a blatant disregard for money... SMH.

 

[Rocket]

I'm betting we keep Haushka... about $3m a year I'd guess.

 

[BlueBlood]

Haushka da best kicka!

 

[joeshaney]

I think we will bring back Hauscka.
But with Pete there always has to be competition so I can see them bring in a good kicker like Brandon Coutu to push him.

Unfortunately, there isn't any roster space so we may need to cut someone (Bennett?).

AND make inappropriate comments of a sexual nature toward your wife thus boosting her self esteem. We could have got so much more bang for our buck...
