Kicking Game

[Clawman]

Hi Bison Fans;
I have not seen much chatter about your kicking game, both punting and field goals. Maybe that is because you score when you get the ball. On the rare occasion when that does not happen how is your punter? FG kicker? I'm looking forward to Saturday, Eagles in the morning and Seahawks in the evening! Two birds, one trip:)

Senior kicker who is often put into bad situations (unnecessary long FGs) but can be clutch.

Best punter in FCS.

Punter has been incredible. Kicker doesnt attempt many but he is clutch. Kicked the game winner vs Iowa in 2016. Although he is put in a lot of super long attempts do his % is better than on paper

So you are planning to kill two birds with one stone...
Sorry, could not help myself with that setup!

Like B4L indicated, the Bison punter is excellent. The FG kicker has had limited need to be on the field this year (8 of 13 attempts). He has not missed a PAT all year (75 points on PATs)

Bison score TDs in the redzone 85%+ of the time. We kick stupid long FGs or score touchdowns.

I hope they don't kick any field goals unless they're to the 20 yard line. If they cross the 40, they should just go for it. Also, I hope we don't return any kickoffs unless it's a line drive caught at the 5 yard line or out. It seems like we don't get many good returns and frequently get holding or block in the back. Just take it at the 25 and call it good.

By not taking it at the 25 we lose about 25-30 yards of field position a game.

Yep, exactly.

Our punter has been great. Our kicker is solid but 50/50 on anything over 40. Cover teams have been good while return teams seem to be penalized a lot. Shep is a very good punt returner.

Any updates on your DT kicker?

As you know the team does not release any information so all that is out there are rumors. I would like to have him available but he was not an every play guy anyway and we have capable backups. As with an injury, next man up!

Think it wont be until gameday that anyone knows, or would he not travel with team?

This isn't a good look for EWU. It doesn't look like the facts are in doubt. If Greg Menard was in this kind of trouble, I as a fan would want him out. That's just me.

Have we ever had anything like this at ndsu?

I’m gonna pass on that one. 2 against one isn’t a fair fight.
Except with Beck it was stupid on those guys part. I remember Bohl saying line backers are the guys who can clear out a bar. Yep.

The facts of that were in doubt. No question what happened here. Everybody is trying to justify it because they are brothers.

[TAILG8R]

I'd be embarrassed as a fan of a team that let someone like that play.

Matter of fact I am embarrassed as a football fan that any team would let him play.

I'm sure they are going to paint us with some moral superiority bullshit but this is just why I think this program is special. No one player is above the team.

How about the last PAT agains SDSU with the muffed hold? Does that count against Pedersen?

He never swung his leg, so I'm gonna guess no

Sounds fair. I honestly didn't know.

[EC8CH]

Sounds fair. I honestly didn't know.

Neither do I for sure. Wouldn't seem fair for it to count against the kicker though.

Kinda like if the head you kick on the ground is your brothers, then it just doesn't count.

Holy crap! What if Klieman starts writing purple hand written letters? What do we do then?

Have a good sense of humor?

botched snaps instantly stop being kick attempts and turn into failed 2 pt conversions.

I looked it up right after because I wondered myself.
