Because that's what Elliott is, young, inconsistent, but a big leg. I hate to say it but this comment made me think of Dan Bailey....went from "kickoff specialist" to full time kicker with a big leg over the course of a seasons. EDIT: I may be thinking of someone other than Bailey but similar situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgis is only 28. That said I don't think they're married to him at all either. If Elliot works out he could be the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get those two mixed up still as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalamania Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Looks like we also worked out Nugent and Josh Lambo after we signed Elliot. Seems like that have a backup plan if Elliot stinks the place up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A liiitle concerning but maybe the next time he's iced he'll be more focused. He rebounded after that and his onside kick was decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 His kickoffs were also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLick12 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 That missed field goal was a massive momentum swing. Granted, we should've never been in position to even attempt it, but that would've given our team a nice boost going into half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey5djh Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'll accept the Meatloaf answer since he was just signed on Tuesday but from 30? That should be automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
