Stl Bills Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 To be honest I can't tell if this is fake, it looks pretty fake on the internet but on a high def TV it looks real as hell.

Neil Rackers 756912[/snapback] yah they showed that promo on "Total Access" a couple weeks ago ... if he could do that, he'd be from another planet. Methinks it's some fine video editing.

The Big Cat Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 That definately could be real ... Neil Rackers is amazing ... watch his games last year 756939[/snapback] Neil Rackers: • Established a new NFL record by connecting on 40 field goals in 2005, breaking the previous mark of 39 set by Miami’s Olindo Mare in 1999 and matched by St. Louis’ Jeff Wilkins in 2003. • Selected to his first career Pro Bowl in 2005, joining Jim Bakken as the only Cardinal kickers so honored. • Connected on 31 consecutive field goal attempts in 2005 to shatter the previous franchise record of 11 set by Bill Gramatica in 2001 (NFL record: 42 by Indy’s Mike Vanderjagt, 2002-04). • Scored 140 points in 2005, the third-most in the NFL and a new franchise record, passing Neil O’Donoghue (1984) and Jim Bakken (1967) who both had 117 points. • Despite not kicking off in the final five games of 2005, led the NFL with 22 touchbacks. Set the Cardinals franchise record for touchbacks in a season with 23 in 2004, the previous record was 19 set in 1997 by Joe Nedney and Kevin Butler. • Established a new franchise record for field goal percentage (95.2), field goal attempts (42) and field goals made (40) in 2005. Which explains why he signed a four-year extension towards the end of last season that will keep him under contract with the Cardinals through the 2009 season. What can I say? I'm just a big Racker fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I believe it, but I also think it took more than a few takes. A great kicker using a tee will have tremendous accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 That definately could be real ... Neil Rackers is amazing ... watch his games last year 756939[/snapback] He is kicking from the 40 yard line which means the goal posts are 50 yards away. Tee or no tee, no way that is real.

eSJayDee Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Gotta be edited. Can't tell from the YouTube, but those look like long kicks, perhaps 50 yds. There's NO way that someone, even someone EXCEPTIONALLY accurate can hit an upright from that distance more than maybe 10% of the time. Think about it - you've gotta be accurate to w/in about 2'. To do it 4x in a row? You'd likely need over 1000 takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king bucko Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I knew one of the guys who kicked for NC State when Philip Rivers was there and he would be consistantly short on anything 40+, put the ball on a tee and he was Jason Elam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 That's why Rackers is going to singlehandedly win me my fantasy league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwolf02 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 that is pretty cool, but you can definately tell that fourth kick wasn't going anywhere near the right upright, it looked more like wide left. which is probably why they zoomed in and edited a ball onto the right one. nevertheless... neil rackers is a beast of a kicker.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Great kicker but it's clearly edited and pretty easy to do. Notice that he also goes completely out of frame before he kicks the last two. The ball goes into the blue of the sky and is easily edited to a kick that hits the upright. The same with the Chris Simms video in the same series of commercials. Although that one was a little more blatant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
