ChatGPT says this is a list of experienced NFL free agent kickers

 

Michael Badgley – 6 NFL seasons of experience. 

Nick Folk – 17 seasons of experience; note: was reported as a free agent earlier in the offseason and suspended for the first 10 weeks of 2025 (eligible to sign/rejoin after reinstatement).

Zane Gonzalez – 7 NFL seasons.

Greg Joseph – 6 seasons; recently signed then became free agent at some points in 2025. 

Brandon McManus – 11 seasons. 

Eddy Piñeiro – 6 seasons. 

Austin Seibert – 4 seasons.

Ok I asked it if any of them played for.  Chris tabor at any point

 

 

Kickers Chris Tabor has definitely coached

 

 

Phil Dawson – Tabor coached Dawson while he was the special teams coordinator for the Cleveland Browns (2011–2017). Dawson made the Pro Bowl in 2012 under Tabor’s unit.

Eddy Piñeiro – Tabor coached Piñeiro both with the Chicago Bears and later with the Carolina Panthers; Piñeiro was a prominent kicker under Tabor’s special teams units.

Zane Gonzalez – Tabor coached Gonzalez early in his career with the Browns and then again later when they were both with the Panthers.

Folk plays for the Jets. Eddie Pinero plays for the Niners and is 25 for 25 on FG attempts this season. ChatGPT has this wrong.

He’s been on the Jets all year and is having a good year.

Thanks! Damn ChatGPT. I was going to say I didn’t recall him ever being released.

It's easy just to blame the strength and conditioning coaches 

 

We literally got rid of our old guy ciano who is now in the same position at Jacksonville and they don't have injury problems.. 

 

Barry Rubin is our assistant and he won 2 Super bowls as the Chiefs head strength and conditioning coach 

 

He was good enough to be the Chiefs head strength and conditioning coach and won 3 Super bowl overall including Packers and he's our assistant 

 

Sometimes it's bad luck

 

Rubin as your assistant is almost as good as it gets

Its not bad luck, for a few seasons now its over and over and over.  I mean we wait for walkthroughs each week this year to see what new injury pops up.

Most of the people here are more interested in easy explanations and performative displays of accountability than they are in understanding the actual issue.

Rubin is literally in the USA strength and conditioning Hall of Fame and very renowned

Where’s the Idiot Kicker At?

 

 

[Low Positive]

A kicker can hurt a quad or hamstring anytime they kick the ball. But they have to get reps to stay sharp. No one is to blame for this.

I get that 

 

But Rubin is literally considered one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the history of American sports 

 

One of the few members in the United States strength and conditioning Hall of Fame

Fire him anyway!  Someone must be blamed!

Rodrigo Blankenship has been posting kicks on Social Media all season. Looks good. Always posting the “hardest” kicks of the week. 
 

What we don’t know is how many attempts and edits he made.

He's the epitome of a dome kicker 

 

He was okay in Indianapolis and still got the yips

 

He doesn't have the velocity off his foot to kick through Buffalo winds as his home stadium

He's closer than you think.  He coaches special teams at Medina High School in Orleans County NY.  About an hour away from One Bills Drive.

 

He's originally from Ontario.   Lives on Lake Ontario in Orleans County.    Seems to like being the big fish in the small pond.

Hasn’t Nick folk historically killed us with clutch kicks? I’d be up for getting him on our side for once if he can still kick. 

Isn't he kicking for the Jets?  He hit like a 57 yarder to beat Atlanta in week 13.

What happened to Rodrigo?  He kicked against my son's high school team in the suburbs of Atlanta a decade ago.  Had a hell of a leg.  And he wore those funky black glasses.  LOL

He must be a terrible coach if he's coaching special teams at Medina lol

 

You think you could at least be the head guy

How about Steve Christie, hey if Rivers can come back...😌
