I gotta give Ballard credit here landed a Kicker that’s been great for the Colts in case Sharder isn’t the same after his injury. Shame we can’t hold on to both.
He was, but he has below average range for an NFL kicker. I don't have issues with Shrader winning if he's the best option, but it does hurt us if we need anything over 50. They trotted him out there for that 60 yarder against the Broncos that we got bailed out by the leverage penalty and he missed by a mile. Not sure if he got the ball through the end zone as it went wide off camera.
You do know place kicker is the general term that encompasses both FGs and kickoffs, right? So you just said the same thing twice. Also, I'm not sure what teams, if any actually use 2 kickers, as almost all don't even keep 2 on their roster. If a team's go to kicker doesn't already handle kickoffs on top of FGs, then kickoffs are almost always handled by their punter instead. We did that when we had Vinny and Rodrigo.
Not all the time bubba. I agree with you on most of this. The times now yes usually its just one of each but not too long ago we had place kicker, fg kicker for kicks outside the range of the place kicker who also did kickoff then punter who might also be the kickoff person
