ManchesterEagle Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Nobody is talking about Elliott…. - which is a good thing. After last year’s really bad season, he has rebounded to be one of the better kickers in the league. No missed extra points. No misses from 20-39, 2 of 2 from 50 plus. Currently career best 87.5% on field goals. Good to have him back and avoided a tricky situation with his contract. He was huge for us in the Super Bowl year. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, been nary a peep about him this year, which is good. Glad he bounced back, one less thing to worry about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblood Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I like that bobble head look alike. His helmet is REALLY round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole flippin' team sucked last year for whatever reason. Kicker certainly isn't a glamor position but I believe they contribute the most points of any player on the team many years. Ask teams who don't have a reliable kicker how important they are. Ask the Detroit Lions how important kickers are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The contract Howie gave him was still a seriously stupid contract but at least he's rebounded this year and he's not been an issue. Makes it a little easier to accept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LacesOut Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Jake has had a good season, so far. I kicked in HS Football. Also played OLB. Best kick ever in a game was 36 yards. In practice (with not much of a rush) was 45 yards. This was back in the late 80's when 1-2 inch kicking tees were used. My point? Hmmmm, not sure. LOL. I guess it may be how talented some of these kickers are, making 50+ yarders routinely with a decent rush in their face, with maybe 70K fans maybe screaming at them, with the entire game on the line, etc... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I'm not even kidding when I say that someone like Pete Gogolak or Jan Stenerud (in their prime) wouldn't even make an NFL roster today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkins4prez Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 It's not often you find a kicker that's worth developing, but this guy has the that kind of leg. I'll take a couple bad seasons if he can can now give you 10 very good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterEagle Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Elliot has been so money this year. Another perfect day. He deserves his first pro-bowl but I suspect Matt Gay might get the nod instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seengreen Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Jake has been spoken of highly in the last few weeks. He has been making kicks that have contributed to their current PPG. He is in a rhythm, let's keep him in it. He is having an All-Pro season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
