I'm surprised we haven't brought in a Kicker since the injury to Parkey. In Barry I Trust, he knows lot more than any of us. I'm just surprised.....who's are current backup kicker- Miles. Go Browns!!!!

Isn't the emergency backup kicker Gillan? I thought I read a while ago that he can kick in a pinch.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

I'm guessing we're eyeballing someone else wrapped up in a "competition" and waiting for them to be released.

I overheard Berry in the hallway saying there were no "top tier" kickers available and telling Stefanski: "Until there are we should just score touchdowns."

No doubt the analytics support scoring touchdowns vs field goals.

And in the world of kicking, and the fan's perspective... "Big Week" means if he misses a kick -- he sucks and our FO has no idea what they're doing. If he makes them all -- he's the greatest thing since sliced bread and analytics really works!

Agree, every week is a big week for a kicker. Our draft pick has bad first game and was GONE. I don't know if our punter kicks, but he's big and has a hell of a leg. I just thought we'd bring someone in, with only 32 teams...and all the all conference kickers out there....JMHO, I'd have brought a leg in. I'm guessing/ knowing I was WRONG....go Browns!!!!

Extra points need to be automatic.

Kicks less than 43 yards, any kick in the 0-39 yard range need to be automatic.

I don't care as much about kicks 48+ yards, being closer to 50%-60%, but extra points need to be automatic.
20-38 yard Field goals need to be automatic also.

At least feel like they are automatic

I am sure that some have on a all-time look, but since the spot was moved back, not many. Not enough to say it should be automatic.

In addition to a perfect kick, you also need a perfect snap and a perfect hold. That is a whole lot of perfect to expect.

j/c...sort of

That PAT wasn't just a miss. I'm not sure I've ever seen a kick go sideways like that one did. Anyway...

The kicks he did make looked like they were on the right edge...and I mean edge. Lastly...

Where is this leg strength when a 56 yarder bounces off the cross bar?

I dunno...my lack of confidence in Parkey was/is exceeded by my lack of confidence in McG.

Haha yeah the XP was an absurd miss. It was in a DOME and from 33 yards out … and it literally maybe crossed the sideline before the end line hAHA

I saw it, and it was beyond ugly. Were the snap and hold good?

When he played extra points were from a much shorter distance. It's comparing apples to oranges. Phil Dawson was also one of the best kickers in the NFL when he was still playing.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Like I said, I didn't see the kicked. I turned in around 10:15 if it was after that and was doing a few other things from time to time.

I looked around the net and couldn't find anything, be it a half search. I didn't spend a whole lot of time searching.

I would be comfortable bringing Folk in to compete.


https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20...folk-at-kicker/

It looks like the Patriots won’t be relying on a rookie at just quarterback to start the season.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, New England is expected to choose Quinn Nordin over veteran Nick Folk at kicker.

Nordin struggled in the Patriots’ second preseason game, missing a 36-yard field goal wide right and a pair of extra points wide right in the matchup against Philadelphia. He also missed a 54-yard field goal wide left in the team’s preseason finale against the Giants.

Overall, Nordin was 6-of-8 on his preseason field-goal attempts after going undrafted out of Michigan this year. Veteran Nick Folk attempted only one field goal and hit it during the preseason.

In 16 games last year, Folk was 26-of-28 on field goals. He was also 30-or-33 on extra points.

Folk has been kicking since 2007 and has a career 81.4 field goal percentage.

If Verity has been around Tucker and was above average I’d take a look

I posted this somewhere, but here is a "current", not, list of available kickers= some we know about- Verity, Balt., Slye, Carolina, Seibert, Cinc, Gonzalez, Det, Molson, GB, Badgley, LA, and last, Folk, Pats/NE....Folk is tried and true, would be a KNOWN vs. our current guy who's been cut from 5 teams.....I say we have a kickoff at the stadium...plenty of pressure and in the hard place they'd kick....I know Berry will bring a couple of these guys in.....wonder which ones. GO Browns!!! Somehow, Johnson, Chicago, left off....he could be a keeper

We really need to bring in a few guys. The guy we have isn't horrible,, but he's not Phil Dawson either.. Although,, I seem to remember when Phil was at the same point in his career,, he wasn't anything to write home about either..

Folk missed two field goals and three extra points last year. I think that is about what most kickers do, including the one we had. The can't miss guys do not exist anymore. All of them are missing extra points since they move it back, and not a one is 100% on field goals. IMO, they are all the same. the guy we have now was doing good, then he missed the extra point and is considered trash. If we sign another one, it will be the same thing.

Bring a couple in, but I wouldn't hold my breath thinking there is going to be a can't miss guy.

JMHO, this Florida retiree thinks two legs, like Johnson/Bears and Folk/Pats should be brought in for a kickoff. Like coach said, we are all replaceable. Go Browns!!!
