That's blocked all day every day in an NFL game. That is one of the thoughts I had. How many steps did she take? Kickers don’t get that kind of wind up on a field goal. The other is that someone is going to blow her up on blocked kick and then the PC police are going to cry foul, which is going to lead to some poor guy getting hung out to dry. Good or bad, someone is going to welcome her to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Let her do some field goals and kickoffs (run off the field asap) in pre-season, once the excitement and pre-season is over she can go back to soccer. I would love to see it. A 38 yr old 141 lb female would get killed in the NFL is she were treated just like any other player. Knowing the NFL anyone gets near her they will cal roughing the kicker.

That's blocked all day every day in an NFL game. I agree with this. When she kicked the 55 yarder (which was impressive) she took a full 6 yard run-up. That's not how it goes.

Freak-O Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Someone mentioned female soccer players having insane legs. You know who have more insane legs? Male soccer players. Hundreds of thousands of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Let her try out. Why not? If she can make field goals reliably, then I'm sure some team will pay her to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 All you have to do is spend 5 seconds on YouTube and you can find multiple videos of kickers being lit up. Some people try so hard to fight for progress that they lose the ability to be rational in their arguments. So many legitimate womens equality issues out there yet some of y’all choose this hill to die on. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are area combines available for folks to get in front of NFL evaluators. Bringing her in for a special tryout is very Russ Brandon-esque.

Just that even if she was good enough to kick field goals she’d be at a high risk of death because of how small she is. Oh stop given how many punters including Janikowski who olay tackling... if she can kick that is all that is really required.

jletha Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I am all for a woman PK in the NFL. But I think one of the biggest things against her is that shes already 37. Of course many kickers play into their 40s but thats very late to begin training let alone get signed to a team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) It’s insane how insecure some of you are. I don’t think she could make it but why not let her try? Preseason sucks anyways. but man when stories like this come up, some dudes show how fragile they are.

LB3 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 At a minimum, she needs to be able to kick 60 yarders with no line in front of her. The best high school kickers are kicking 65-70 yarders with no line in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough...but my point is that there are kickers like Janakowski who show NO interest in covering. He would run to the bench and ignore the play.....even when the returner cut right in front of him. Now...he could have been blindsided even though he was making no attempt to tackle, but these kickers might just as well curl up in the fetal position....or run straight to the bench...like Janakowski only faster, before the returners get to them.

What century are you from? Gotta love your toughness. A guy who probably was a junior on JV in high school is threaten by a woman trying out for a football. Enjoy the internet because you won’t be this tough in real life. 12 minutes ago, Seven-N-Nine said: It's not an effort thing, it's a getting crushed by a blindside block thing. That’s the risk she has to assume if she does get a try out. Those blocks don’t happen nearly as much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, it's the 21st century where girls are wearing guys pants and boys are marrying boys. so it's not out of the question some female wants to kick it through the uprights in the nfl but that doesn't make one a caveman, fragile or sensitive if they oppose. no, that's coming from some member here puffing his/her chest out trying to look like some tough guy. now that's weak.

But even knuckleballers typically throw fastballs in the low 80s to keep hitters off balance; they're failed "normal" (male) pitchers, and they're also sadly a dying breed.
