vike daddy Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Bailey: “At this point in my career I wanted to, if it was possible, I wanted to somewhere that had an opportunity to win and be a part of an organization that’s right there and right on the brink of having a lot of success. So obviously when this situation came up it fit the bill perfectly. And then I can’t complain on eight games a year inside, so that was a plus as well. So just the ‘win now’ mentality, the guys in the locker room have been great, it’s a really great locker room. So it was kind of an easy decision.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/09/21/dan-bailey-easy-decision-to-join-vikings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Fred Cox is easily the longest-tenured kicker in Vikings history, as 1963 was the first of his 15 consecutive seasons in Minnesota. Since then, they often have trouble finding kickers who stick. Their second-longest-tenured kickers are Fuad Reveiz (1990-95) and Ryan Longwell (2006-11), each lasting six seasons. http://m.startribune.com/index.php/daniel-carlson-not-the-only-vikings-kicker-to-go-0-for-3-on-field-goals/493790771/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to break Freddy The Foot's record, he'll need to kick for MN until he's 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Bailey seemed to kick well last night. I thought someone else was going to have kickoff duties? His kickoffs were pretty short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The short kickoffs are actually good, imo. They are stopping them around the 25-30....and all you need is a holding or block in the back or fumble...... And, he looks better than what they've had, I think.

The risk is a big return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope at this point we've figured out our coverage unit enough to trust them with a weaker kickoff specialist. Matt Wile has a nice leg. Why don't we let him Kickoff?
