Nedney got hurt in our opener, I think, Craig Hentrich our punter made a field goal at the half about 50 yds and made another past 40 before the game ended
I remember how impressed John Madden was over Craig
I think I read Craig tried a couple kicks every practice just in case

Yup Santoso is it2019 Kicker situation was an absolute mess. Cairo Santos (yep, the same killing it for chi now) was brought as 1/4 kickers that year.
Santoso was a “KO specialist”. If I recall correctly, he had 2 KO that resulted in better field position for the opposition than the titans had averaged all year.
Succop got hurt, Joseph came on late, only had 1 FG but was perfect on xp throughout the playoff run.
I’m also disagreeing with the point that only 50+ are taken to end a half/game, or when the kick is key late for a W.
Incoming stats post when I’m done.
For the Kicker situation, I used 2023. I calculated every made FG of 50+ and again at 55+.
I also used what I would call reasonable judgement on the FG that were made to either end the Half, the Game, or otherwise were in a situation where they lined up maybe a little longer than normal for that K, with a lower risk if missed it due to little clock left half/game.
33 kickers made a FG of 50 or more.
Total 50+ made was 158
25 of those FGs were HT/end of game/close to either.
20 kickers made a FG of 55 or more.
Total 55+ made was 42
12 of those FGs were HT/end of game/close to either.
Of those 20 Kickers to hit 55+, 3 had their only 55+ FGs as a HT/end of game/close situation. 1 was Butker and we know he has lined up in “non-clutch times” for long than 55.
Also, Justin Tucker had an awful season at 1/5 from 50+, none from 55+.
To summarize, I did not count any misses. There may have been more of the HT/end of game/close attempts.
Appx 28% of the 55+ made were under those circumstances. I disagree with take on kickers generally only lining up for 55+ because of the clock.
This is where Folk’s weak leg comes into play. I don’t know his max, but 53 was the high last year. He kicked 54 in 2022, hasn’t made 55 since 2015.
We can also see that more than half the league uses a K for 55+ at any given time because they know they have a K with that leg.
I know I explained my position earlier, but this is where I’m willing to risk Folk’s accuracy for someone with a stronger leg.

I still get nervous when Folk kicks
Years of training pretty much since Bironas even if Gostkowski was alright.I still get nervous when Folk kicks
Titans cut LB Luke Gifford.
Our LBers consist of
Kenneth Murray II
Harold Landry III
Ernest Jones IV

Malik Willis trade looks even worse for Packers after Matt LaFleur's latest comments
The Packers could make another backup quarterback change before Week 1.

Almost here fellas!
So I heard someone today say thay Cedric Gray injury is related to a nerve in his elbow.
Kyle Phillips signed to the Eagles PS.
Titans blue tent about to be jealous of eagles blue tent.Kyle Phillips signed to the Eagles PS.
Curious if Phillips made a clean breakup before leaving.
That's great
Apologies if this has already been posted but it gave me a good chuckle. Fair play to him for seeing the funny side!
They need to make one of those for Corey Levin where he just keeps walking back in wearing a fake mustache and a different hat

I'm curious to see who they bring up or sign to fill Gifford's spot.
There is talk of signing a 3rd QB for the PS (someone would get called up I think to make room)I'm curious to see who they bring up or sign to fill Gifford's spot.
Early guesses are Ian Book and Chris Oladukun.
Per Titan Sized
Book came from ND and played 1 regular season game in NO in 2021. He threw 2 INTs that game. Just did preseason with KC.
Oladukun came from USF as a backup in 2019. Hasn’t played NFL regular season, was also KC this preseason.
Probably some scrub DB.I'm curious to see who they bring up or sign to fill Gifford's spot.
That would be so silly. If we're down to 3rd string QB, you're in so much trouble, therefore might as well roll with the emergency QB.There is talk of signing a 3rd QB for the PS (someone would get called up I think to make room)
