I'm on the edge of my seat on the kicker situation, hope Dimke gets it so I can make fun of my friend for spending 3 bucks on Graham in a fantasy auction.

I haven't been able to follow the kicker battle much this preseason but how has Graham looked?

Dimke missing that 50+ yarder and then barely making it from 5 yards closer couldn't help him much.

They have really been about what and what.I hope its Dimke because of his age. May be a kicker we can keep around for awhile. Graham is still good but his SSI kicks in come January so......

Graham missed a 33 yarder (trial extra point). Other than that they've both made all of their kicks.

In practice they've both been solid but both have missed a few here and there. Graham's probably missed a couple more but not enough to make it an easy decision.

It'll come down to keeping a trusty vet vs. hoping to find a young long term kicker. But the thing with that is we thought we had both of those before. Graham has more than just a year left in him so it isn't like he couldn't be here for 5 years. And kickers are streaky.

Not an easy decision. I know most want to go with youth but there's no guarantee he'll last longer than Hartley.

I would say I trust the ST coach to make the right decision but he has only proven to make slightly below league average choices so...

OK but here's the other thing, if we cut Dimke someone will probably pick him up because he's young. If we cut Graham nobody is gonna go after him. Keep Dimke, if he fricks up you will have Graham sitting there waiting.

Yea. I lean toward Dimke as well as there are always vet kickers during the year a team can pick up when needed. CSP has proven that lol.

He'll be gone next year if the return game doesn't get better this year

No he wont, teams already have their kickers picked. Nobody's signing a kicker to come right in the week before the season starts

I stopped believing years ago.

I'm only surprised Drews new daughter was not named Gregoria.

His problem is he's a yeller and not a teacher type of coach. You dont see much teaching going on during practices

Stuff happens man, look at Denver. I was meaning he was more likely to get picked up than Graham.

Wish we would cut both kickers and pick up Jay Feely.

Graham on his career is 85.5%. Feely is 82.7%. Feely is 38 and Graham is 36. So you want to drop a better, younger kicker for a worse, older kicker?

Yes I do. Look at recent history not overall career.
