Palardy

[tennfanatic]

What was his problem this year? Was he just this bad of a kicker or was he hurt this year? Probably the worst year I've seen kicking in Tennessee history. It seems like anyone could come in and beat him out next year.

He actually had me wishing for Lincoln...that is something...

Coaching. Confidence. Head problems.

I don't get it either. But it definitely helped me keep my expectations in check for any recruit.

At the Vandy game I was in row 5 behind the players. When it was looking like he might have to come in to kick a FG, he was warming up, and he didn't seem to have any intensity or focus. I know that the players will laugh and joke around even when we are getting beat. That is not unique to the Vols. It is a human factor. But there is a time to put down the hand buzzers and focus on a task at hand. I got a very distinct impression that he was just going through the motions. Actually, I found it very disturbing.

Haha! Ain't that the truth!!

kicker's are a different breed and need special attention. Don't see this staff nurturing thus part of our problem. Add Darr to the list.

I hope Palardy gets it together but for the rest of the time that he kicks for Tennessee, I'm gonna be nervous every time he's back there to kick one through.

No doubt hard to believe he was the #1 kicker in the country coming out of high school. I mean the way he ended the year was putrid! Kicking the center in the ass on that chip shot field goal and then coming 10 yards short on the 45 yard field goal against Kentucky :banghead2:

We haven't had a PK that was as money as J Hall in quite some time. Wilhoit struggled at times (on extra points no less), Lincoln kicked ground balls half the time, and Palardy hasn't lived up to the hype yet.

he been trying to live up to his nickname....

I saw this guy against Mcminn Co. this year, and although he was a little inconsistent, he could really pound them through! STRONG LEG

 

[AllVolYall]

Hasn't shown me ANYTHING in 2 years. I'm not expecting anything more in the next 2 from him.

Good grief, I miss Jeff Hall. Even John Becksvoort. Remember that guy? Helluva kicker, too.

Werd on Becksvoort

 

[bluetickhound16]

Anybody know if John Becksvoort has any sons around college age now??!?

He could sling a mean water balloon as well.

Remember when you didn't even have to think about the kicking game?

Please don't say "Lincoln". Every time I hear that name it makes me want to shoot myself!:machgun:

 

[DjCrenshaw]

Fire Palardy!!!!!!!!!!

Those were the days! We used to always have a reliable kicker.

No love for Wilhoit? Hall was def. My fav. But Wilhoit was a beast of a kicker too! (2004 FL was Wilhoit, right?)

Yeah, missed the xp agaisnt florida to tie it up and came back to kick a 50 something yarder to win the game 4 minutes later.
