I don’t really know what you’re arguing at this point.Just like Santos, Succup was not a rookie kicker he was an already established pro bowl kicker prior to coming to Tenn and he was good for years with Tenn. He didnt just get good after leaving here and we didn’t ruin him. He got hurt. I have no idea why he wasn’t brought back.
Santis was horrible for the 5 games he was here. Joseph was here 2 games. Never tried a FG. Made 9 xrtra points.
The original point was all these kickers are horrible here and go on to succeed, like they hadn’t had it before Not serviceable not solid, but successful. Both Santos and Succup were successful long before they came to the Titans, not just after.
Like I’ve said before, the players we have been drafting and signing have been bad. JRob was fired for that. For the lack of talent on the roster. Lack of depth. If you want to blame Vrabel fine. But complaining about a kicker who has the 2nd best FG% in the NFL this season and blaming him for the Titans not being in the playoffs and whining about a lost 2025 7th round draft pick is insane. There are a long list of reasons the Titans are going to the playoffs. Folk may be on that list but he is at the very bottom. We needed a kicker. We got a kicker. A good one. Some FA who missed half his FGs is what we have had. The 7th round pick is insignificant. Any argument to the contrary is futile.
Succop got hurt early in the year 19’, he was kicking 1/6 FG. Succeeded very much in TB afterwards.
Santos was terrible in Nashville, caught on and is kicking well in Chicago.
Santoso was brought in as a KO specialist, gave 2-3 s**ty KO. Only had a couple games after, perfect in 1 game with Carolina, 2/3 with Det
Parkey actually did well in Nashville and was still shown the door, he did ok in Cle.
Joseph was perfect. Actually 18/18 XP counting post season and only called on for 1 FG. Not sure why he was shown the door.
brought in Gostkowski who was terrible and rolled to Fat Randy who was meh.
from what I see, Vrabel/JRob combo don’t know anything about Kickers.
Ran had 2 K doing well in preseason but I guess not well enough, needed to use that 7th.
Not an issue with me since Folk has been good despite the missed XP.
Badgley is 6/6 xp in Detroit
York didn’t catch on anywhere.
To me, this is the first sign of progress on Kickers since 2018.
