Film Guy's take on the Bama loss

[denver]

Talty missed one a couple of weeks ago that I swear looked like it would go out of bounds, one of the worst I’ve ever seen. He’s got quite a bit to clean up himself before jumping on anyone else. The staff ought to line him up with some hitting drills against the long snapper today and tomorrow to get his mind right, because something certainly ain’t right with him.

When on the hash, he tends to snatch at the ball and it hooks. His follow through is off. If you watch consistent kickers, they hit a 25 yard kick the same as a 45 yard kick - its the technique that gives consistency. Cant remember the game but there was a wild hook from short range..and it wasn't the snap...this wasn't the snap either. Whoever is coaching the kickers needs to make him make 10 in a row from each hash and in the middle....from 30/35/40/45 in practice

The odds of Talty hitting 10 straight from each of those distances are worse than the odds of winning the lottery.

Wonder if any of those students that kicked on ESPN GameDay have any eligibility left?

I think Bray Hubbard is, but other than him, the last “ ornery “, physically tough guy that comes to mind is Landon Dickerson. At least on the O line.

Tyler Booker was most definitely a tough guy.

I'm not big on challenging dudes manhood who are actually in the game.

That being said, kickers need to shut up and kick, or just play soccer.

Yall can talk about kickers all you want. But there have been several times where Saban brought in one of the best kickers in the country and they looked like they never kicked a ball in their life. The only kicker that ever improved under saban was tiffin and the only kicker where the hype was real was reichard.

There was a story in which one of Stallings player development guys bugged him for months about an elite high school kicker. Stallings relented and gave the kid a scholarship. Kid gets here and couldn’t kick worth crap. Stallings basically said “anyone ever suggests for me to waste a scholarship on a kicker ever again is fired”

Kickers are crapshoots. I don’t know if it’s the depth perception of playing in closed stadiums or the pressure but when they get to bama they just suck.
