Vedvik isn’t just a placekicker, however, as he did the punting at Marshall for his final two seasons in college and only added kicking duties during his senior year. Vedvik was kicking with the Ravens before Sunday’s trade, but called himself “an athlete” capable of doing both. Head coach Mike Zimmer said that Vedvik could do both jobs if he proved to be good enough, but suggested that wasn’t a likely outcome for the 2019 season. Zimmer: “It’s probably difficult for a rookie, I would think. You’ve got a rookie snapper, and then you’d have a rookie kicker and rookie punter. Then you’d have to find somebody to hold.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/08/12/mike-zimmer-probably-difficult-for-kaare-vedvik-to-kick-and-punt/ I hate Zimmer now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope absolutely not. A 4th for a guy who has never kicked in a game is really a stretch but I wanted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a punter, you's think it would be a handy tool to have in your box as Punters are entirely replaceable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Vedvik can't even kick while also being the holder?!? Just cut him now. Should've traded a 1st for Justin Tucker! I bet he could play 2 positions at once! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most accurate kicker in NFL history AND he can boot from 60+ yards when his wife's real good to him? Yeah, give me dem picks, bruh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Vikings are literally the complete opposite. We’ve been having our punter hold for years, and now this year Adam Thielen and Chad Beebe holding kicks. yesterday..... Dan Bailey was the holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different muscle mechanics to throw the ball vs tucking and running, different muscle mechanics to tackle someone vs high pointing an INT, different muscle mechanics to truck someone vs hurdling them. Other players aren't locked into one muscle mechanic when they play, I don't see why a kicker has to be if they can learn both mechanics. I don't expect someone to come in and be elite or even top tier at both positions, but if they were "good enough" I think it could work like I've come to understand it has worked in the CFL.
