Wel we have a kicker so he says. Now I hope this is not another use Alabama name. We do need a kicker but we need a good one. Yes then I will hush about a kicker. I don't want a 5* I want a real kicker. RTR!

I'm just glad we got one. #8 kicker in this year's recruiting class sounds pretty good.

Yes sir. I noticed there wasn't many stats on him but we got some mighty fine kickers in the past that didn't have any stats. I just look forward to see what he can do. RTR!

Can he kick a PAT and/or a 32 yard FG?   




 :facepalm:

We are all conditioned to not trust our kickers. For years I've held my breath on every kick.  God bless Griffith for all the health issues he had, but honestly, if he made 100 kicks in a row I wouldn't trust him on the 101st.

Any new kicker will have to prove himself.

That said, we needed a kicker and this guy at least sounds promising.  Check out highlights:

We needed a kicker who could put the ball into the endzone consistently.  This guy is supposed to fill that need.  "His high-school highlight reel shows off his incredible leg strength."

The fg talents will have to be assessed.  I'm happy to have a strong leg again!

The one thing I did notice he was kicking from the 40 yard line in high school so he'll be further back in college. He seem to be hitting some nice long FG's though. RTR!

We need someone who can consistently make under-40 yarders, not someone with freakish leg strength and no accuracy. That was Jeremy Shelley, and he was the best kicker we've had in the Saban era.

We can use two kickers for a change; one for kickoffs and one for field goals.  
Put the FREAK on kickoff duty; maybe some gorilla of a guy who can consistently kick into the endzone and also tackle like a LBer!

Duh!   :dunno:

Bingo! Forgot about that. No more running it back to the 30, 35, 40 yard line. Plus, players won't get hurt.

Not a little guy, for sure.

I kind of like the put the ball at the 1 yard line and let Mack Wilson manslughter someone play though.

There is definitely a BIG MACK attack coming down the field. I am glad we got him. RTR!
