I see the early projections have our man Zuerlein ranked dead last this week.Sooner or later FBG will realize he's the real deal.

Clueless.

What does KickerMania have to say about this?

Mike Herman hasn't been as high on him lately as most people in this thread...I'm not expecting a big change from him either.

 

[JMon348]

I'm pretty sure all three writers at CBS have him in their top 5 this week.

 

[DiStefano]

Experts consensus rankings have him at #4. David Dodds has him at #28. Is he pranging someone's sister?

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

StL at Mia sounds like a FG fest. Our hero will kick 4 FGs and 1 XP this weekend.

Ain't nobody got time for kicker rankings.

 

[Nickdi]

Is this offense without amendola going to be able to move the ball past their own side of the field enough to kick?

Why would they need to?

 

[BearsFan4Life]

... and people thought I was crazy when I traded up in my rookie draft to pick him in my 20 team league, followed by Blair Walsh (40 something...!!!!)

Glad to see I am not the only one rostering two K ....Legatron and Tucker!!

I was wrong. Big Z in the Kickermania Top 5 this week...

[Raider Nation]

Next week's waiver wire report will recommend dropping Zuerlein because he only made 2 out of 3 FGs over 60 yards this week.

Anyone concerned about the weather for Sunday in Miami? Isolated showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 87. Breezy, with a northeast wind 14 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. per the weather report.

Concerned about wind gusts of 23mph? Why? Because into the wind would make his range a paltry 50 yards, but with the wind we're talking 70+!

 

[David Dodds]

I have him at number 7 in my second pass projections.

Yeah I'm concerned for the sun, clouds, and breezes. Leg could destroy them all.

Love the story in that article about the coach watching him kick a 50-yard FG with the wind in college.He chalks it up to the wind.

Leg then kicks another one 50 yards into the wind.

This cat will sleep with your woman. And you'll LET HIM!

Was at Dolphin Stadium today for the UM/NC game and I gotta tell you the wind was really whipping around. We have had some pretty high winds the last couple days down here, tomorrow the weather could b a little different but the conditions were very windy on the field.

Doubt it matters to most playing him right now but I just thought I would put it out there.

 

[Shawn]

I really hope he gets a half of play with winds directly at his back that would be time for record setting 70 yarder!

Please keep us updated on wind conditions before game time if possible. Thanks MoP

Looks like currently 17 mph winds out of NE. May be going to backup plan of Justin Tucker.

 

[Daggeth]

I was at the UM game yesterday also and it's just as windy today where I live which is about 30 miles SW of the stadium. Looks like there'll be some rain in a bit too, might be nothing though. Haven't seen a local weather forecast today yet.

 

[flapgreen]

More excited about this guy than anyone.

I've got the same choice. Doesn't look like Baltimore weather is any less windy though. Will probably go with Legatron - he can kick in a hurricane.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I live 10-15 minutes from the stadium, it is windy but I think the rain chances are moving down. The wind impacted a couple kicks yesterday, Zuelein has a strong e.g. so it probably won't bother him as much. He will be on the road, my only question is how many times is he gonna have a chance to kick FGs?

I'm bummed too, was supposed to be at the game today but the flu bug is working its way thru my home so its sniffles and TV today.

4 mph difference. Yep. Zuerlein back in the lineup.

 

[Dought Man]

Legatron will outscore the Baltimore kicker by about 9 pts. Don't make a silly mistake..

 

[Raider Nation]

LEG from 48....

BANG!

 

[Raider Nation]

The kick from 48 landed 3/4 of the way up on the netting. So stupid.

The wind, incidentally, didn't appear to either help or hurt the kick. Looked like it was blowing left to right.

 

[flapgreen]

Should be in consideration for league MVP.

I'm going to pop the question to GZ at dinner tonight.

Another silly in the article:

A few months later, they cut Josh Brown, the veteran kicker who had been to a Super Bowl, in favor of Zuerlein.

It was a few DAYS later, not months.

 

[Sea Duck]

7 points midway through the 1st quarter. LOVE IT.

 

[Otis]

On pace for 8 FGs today.

 

[flapgreen]

Oh hell yes!!!

Actually, Brown was cut within a few hours of Zuerlein being drafted.

 

[tjnc09]

4 more yards

 

[two_dollars]

51 yarder coming up?
