Kicking Game and Special Teams

[56 VOL]

Who will handle the punting and kicking chores next year and what will our special teams be like? Do we have a special teams Coach? Coach O would be perfect to coach special teams.

i haven't heard anything about this but it sure is important. you can't watch FL play and not see how far behind we are in this area.

Florida definitely pays a lot of attention to them. We need to make them a top priority. A lot of breaks are made in the kicking game. I think mr. neyland mentioned that.

has CLK been looking at any punters or kick off/field goal kickers during all this recruiting ?

 

[Outdors21]

Is Lincoln going to be the only K on the roster? Same with Cunningham?

I think the biggest thing in ST is you have to have kickers/punters who can do what you ask of them...and I'm not convinced either of these guys can.

Linclon had a good year as a freshman. Looked to have a pretty strong leg. Then last year was missing alot of FG's he made as a freshman. I think Fulmer really stressed getting the ball up high off the tee to kickers. It looked like it hurt his distance.

Cunningham I wasn't impressed with. But I would say his leg was gone after the first three games as much as we punted.

Lincoln's "cavalier" approach to kicking really bothers me. It's almost like he's so worried about jinxing himself that he doesn't focus entirely.

I understand that kickers are very superstitious but my perception is that he's just going out there and "winging it."
