What my developing mind has learned about the future of our kicking woes

I fucking love special teams[/s] ed. Tim Horn is the answer to our problems in the kicking game, there, I said it. I'm the youngest member of this bored and have been quiet the past few months during my own JC football season. Tim Horn is a legend on O'ahu, a story one of my teammates told me (a member of the kānaka ʻōiwi tribe), Tim Horn was age 12, at a high school football halftime 'contest', Horn nailed a 50 yard field goal. Every school on the island recruited him to come play for their team, his current HS is a prep school and he was given a full schlarship to play there (Very common at prep schools *Cough St. Louis Cough*). I'm not saying that he will personally get us a Natty, but he will own the UW kicking records by the end of his time at UW if AJ Cunty can figure out how to snap perfect fucking laces. Last but not least, fire gregory.

He has a strong leg. He hadn’t proven he can be consistently accurate. Hopefully that will come. He should at least help on kickoffs.
 
Sorry to break it to you but Aj Carty is a 2019 senior he wont be playing with Horn. It was a bit concerning we have 0 threads on the ls situation. But I'm pretty confident in the two guys the staff is looking at. Dennis and Coker are holding back info on our 2019 ls commit. Probably saving it to headline BDTW grand opening. Also we need a scholarship holder that has been a much bigger issue then snapping. Anyone know if Chris Sailer holder academy is starting soon?

I can't tell if you're being serious or not.

He’s never serious.

Difficult combo to pull off.

You need more than just a strong leg to be a successful kicker. It's damn near 90% mental. If I were to ask you if you had a choice to take a kicker that made 70% of his kicks and could kick it from 60, or a kicker that has a max range of 45 yards but made 90%, you would take the 90% every time. Heck, most of you probably would take the 90% kicker if the max range was 40.

The kid is built for pressure, hence the story I told. Being a legend on the Island is a pretty big deal, strong leg + experience = consistency in the kicking game. Mentally, if you know you can bang 50+, you're going into those 35-45 yard kicks with a lot of confidence.

Not all true with the holder situation. A good D1 snapper at, idk, a top 10[/s] 100 program, SHOULD BE ABLE TO SNAP PERFECT FUCKING LACES, making the holding job really quite easy. Horn baely uses any lean on his kicks, slightly left, so the holder (With a good snap) just has to put the ball down and barely bend it inward if at all.

Long snapping is important, but I don’t worry about it. That said, I don’t care enough to get into the intricitaces of snapping.

All true, though I may need a little better than 90% inside 40 to make that trade without hesitation.

Kicking a football precisely, with any power, at all, is hard. If it was easier then everyone would be doing it. It's about like golf in that the margin between a straight, solid shot and a scald, popup, banana slice or duck hook is very small. Anyone with a leg can get it right sometimes, but football kickers have to be almost perfect fundamentally, every time, or it ain't going where you want it to. It's a tough job.
