If I coached in the NFL my kicker would be a undrafted safety,corner or just an athlete ! Id have dude kicking 7 days a week in training camp to get ready for the season.

I never understood why they dont take a safety, corner or maybe even a QB that didnt make the cut and train the shyt out of them starting at the highschool level or college even. Id much rather have another playmaker on the field to not only save a TD but make legit tackles and if you ever fake it Id rather have an athlete back there than a punter

"Nikkas kickers"?

I say nikka but damn... shyt doesn't sound right.

Reminds me of kat Williams saying "nikka babies & white babies". I cringe at that shyt
Yea that shyt had me too

Nikka supposed to be slang for comrad at this point where we showing white America this word has lost it's power over us

This thread comes across like dude really see himself more as a Nikka than a black man

I'm a black man that use the word Nikka to make em mad

Not a mad nikka

Exactly...

If "nikka" isused in a black man's regular vernicular, the only way for it not to be demeaning, in my opinion, is if it is a definition of "person" not black man.

I do a lot of "soul searching" if you will about my own use of the word however, to be comfortable defining the word "nikka" as synonymous to "black man" is disturbing honestly.

"That nikka is crazy"- For me, I would not know you anything about this crazy person other than he is a person. If from the statement, "that nikka is crazy" you can determine that you are talking about a black man... Something is wrong and there is some self hate issues.

why tho? :mindblown:

you make a milli a year and you can play for freakin 20 years, no injuries no real danger either
Why aspire for less when you can aspire for more?

Now whether you can MAKE more HAPPEN is a different story.

Breh's,

There are only 32 kicking and 32 punting spots in the NFL.

These guys have a ridiculous lifespan (5+ years) and teams only seem to recycle former team's kickers...So in a given year, there MAY BE 10 or so rookie punter/kickers in the league.

Now think of all the talented soccer players there are in High Schools or whatever in the US and Canada. All going for the same 10 spots.

It would almost be retarded to have some kid try to specialize on being a kicker with the same low odds of making it as a LB or some shyt with limited upside

:childplease: you do realize some teams carry 1 kicker right?You crazy if you dont think kicker is a valuable position.

:russ:

i wasn't saying kicker wasn't important. your reasoning was just :mindblown: to me.

you could apply the same logic to punter.

the reason teams only carry 1 is because these dudes rarely get hurt. that roster spot can be used for more important personnel.

plus, the position itself is plug and play. the saints picked up graham off the streets.. 3 weeks later, he's winning a playoff game.

no reason to keep a backup on the roster if you can just call a guy on friday to play on sunday.

but i wasn't diminishing the position.
