Mike:

Any easy place to see the current place kicking battles that are undecided? Anarchy league draft and I don't want to pick an individual PK that won't be on a team.

The ones that come to mind are:

BAL: Cundiff or Graham

ATL: Hauschka or Bryant

Thanks!

 
How about the 2 rookies in

Hunter Lawrence vs Connor Barth

Garrett Lindholm vs Adam Vineteri

Any chance Pettrey is gone with over Hanson with chance and injury

 
In response to above posts, the competitions are:

BAL: Cundiff or Graham

ATL: Hauschka or Bryant

TB: Barth or Lawrence

HOU: Brown or Rackers

So Mike, who are your favorite kickers this year? I lie taking a shot on Buehler, I think Janikowski could be great with an improved but not special offense, and then you have Hartley and Crosby on high powered offenses. Matt Prater's big leg could be great too in Mile High.

Who is kicking for ARZ? I haven't seen anything since Rackers left and it leaves me feeling really dumb haha.

 
Currently nursing minor injuries:

CIN - Mike Nugent

DET - Jason Hanson (post-surgery)

PHI - David Akers

SEA - Olindo Mare

STL - Josh Brown

:blackdot: :popcorn:I'm interested in Mike's thoughts on Buehler and Janikowski too.As well as Ryan Succop - I think with KC's weak schedule and potentially improved play, Succop may get more opportunities this year.

Kickology blog: ArenaBowl kicking match-up: Garrett Rivas vs. Taylor Rowan http://bit.ly/bNWNLa

 
This is one of my favorite threads... in my league everyone laughed at kickers the past couple--thinking they are all the same... but Hartley in NO won more than a couple weeks for me with 12+ pt performances last year--and the previous 2 years NYG kickers were putting up big points on a regular basis.

This year I'm targeting Hartley again... would also be happy with Grosby... but a couple people in my league have wised up and I see those guys going early.

So--here are the guys I'm watching:

Buehler in DAL-- offense I think will be much improved this year with the stable of RB's... Romo being more experienced and the developements at WR (Austin and Dez).

Bryant in ATL-- finished the season w/a run of games where he was getting 3 FG's per. ATL offense is supposed to be opening up and I think Ryan rebounds from a down year... they have a nicely balanced attack to keep the chains moving.

Kaeding in SD-- the addition of a young workhorse back helps the offense.. but he's moved down my list because of the (looks like) loss of Vincent J and LT McNeil holding out--the O might not hit on all cylinders.

Bironas, TEN--A big leg and a primarily running offense that IMO will stall out in close, meaning lots of fieldgoals.. but difficult to stop btwn the 20's...
