Big difference between a 300 lb lineman blocking a kick from behind the line of scrimage and a guy standing the the backfield in front of your kick! This has all been explained before. You don't have the success that Palardy has had without knowing what you are doing. If he gets the blocking...

Instead of technique being precise, relies on shear strength to power ball. Power is getting optimum use of leg strength with correct technique. Technique will always be more consistent. When coupled with strength of leg, you get better results. Palardy has strength and technique.

Palardy has 4.6 speed, can throw the ball on a rope, and can punt the lights out of the ball! Word is that he was kicking on the indoor practiced field today and hit everything up to 45 yards, missed one at 50, hit the the next one and one at 53 and was challenged to hit a 57 yarder by one of...

Palardy's average was 47 yds... and Palardy's technique is better than Darr's. I have watched them both. Darr alligator arms the ball on the drop, and that makes for insconsistent drop postion of the ball. Palardy, stretches arms to full length, and the drop is always the same, consistent. I...

You can't kick the ball through the guy that is standing in front of your kick in the backfield! Both the fg and xtra point were blocked right up the middle...not from behind the line of scrimmage. If they don't block them, you can't kick em...you don't have the success he has had by mistake...

Palardy is a better punter than Darr.

Watched Palardy kick and punt over the last couple of days. He punts and kicks at the same camp as my son. Punting you would not believe! He was punting out of the back of the end zone and the ball was touching down, because it was in orbit, anywhere from the 50 to the opposite side 40. He...

Watched Palardy kick off and kick field goals...makes it look easy! He was kicking off with a 25mph cross wind and was hitting the ball anywhere from the 5yd line to 7 yards deep in the EZ. That is basically to the goal line or in the back of or out of the end zone without wind. What a...

Unless he can punt the ball 60yds+ consistently, he ain't Palardy. Watched him at kicking camp the other day and OMG! Punting out the back of the end zone to the opposing 40yd liine in the air. Had to be 4.5 -5 sec hang time...ball in the air forever! WOW. He can angle punt and put it into...

He is a kicker and the longer he spends with an actual kicking coach the better. Once he gets here, no one here to tweak him or who knows him like his Conrad. I know this young man, he will come in ready and will only have to get used to his long snappere and holder. As a matter of fact, I...

Had a chance to see Palardy punt the other day...when he is on, his ball is beautiful to watch, not a wobble in the ball and it seems to be in the air forever and the distance is amazing! Long snappers moved to work with kickers, and Palardy was long snapping...he could even do that! Conrad...

I am serious...will he have off moments and will all KO end up in end zone, probably not, but I have watched this kid for several years now, and he is steady and consistent. He will be in and around the end zone most of the time. When he is on, he is amazing! More improtantly, he doesn't get...

Palardy loves the competition! He will make everyone better. He comes from a program that is not used to and does not like to lose. When we bring in kids from programs like this, our program can't help but get better. I saw him kick a couple of weekends ago, a bit of a tailwind...KO's into...

Watched Palardy kick last Sunday. KO's from the 30, some wind at back, out of the back of the endzone, three in a row, into the corner of the endzone! What a freakin leg! They did a field goal competion six footballs lined up at different distances, left hash, right hash, with the last two...

Don't discount what a recruit from FL, once in the UT program, can do to help recruit players from that school. It all helps.
