Forge Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Never missed a kick in the playoffs. Also, he had the attitude of like a defensive lineman. He didn't take for players trying to mess with his pregame routine or anything. He didn't back down from players like Jalen Ramsey and it was always funny. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Moody has been lights out, particularly after he missed that game winning kick against CLE. I do not think he has missed a kick since then (he missed 2 that day). But mainly this was about money. Moody cost draft capital but his salary is a lot cheaper. Gould never moved to the Bay Area, he literally lived in a hotel 100 yards from the stadium. Gould didn't want to move his family. I hope Lynch told him to stay in shape. He is the first kicker I am calling if there is an injury to Moody (who started off the year with a quad injury fwiw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugboat Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Feels like there was a very long time where he was just a rock solid no fuss kicker. I don't ever recall thinking him as particularly spectacular, or standout as a kicker. But tbh, i think pretty much every team, coach, fan, would just take rock solid "money in the bank" reliability over more volatile ups and downs. There's a real skill and value to that kind of consistency, especially with that longevity. Where you can just have that squared away and not worry about it.

A consistent kicker who you trust is way more valuable than a guy who can hit from 60 but you cannot ever rely on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. It's an absolute weapon when it's like Tucker who does both. But especially as teams get more aggressive on 4th downs, you really just want a kicker that you never have to think about...from "normal" ranges. Just send 'em out and take your 3pts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the bears would come out for a field goal it was essentially an extension of the commercial break. You’d use that time to get a drink, use the bathroom, etc. because you knew he was going to make it, you didn’t need to watch it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 9ers also moved on from him because he cannot do kickoffs. His usually ended up in play and very catchable--which is no good at all. So, Moody is cheaper and stronger, younger and handles kickoffs rather well. His pretty good at FGs, too.

Sugashane Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Guy is top 10 all time in FG%, definitely was a stud. After a few of the guys ahead of him have an off year he may pop up to 5th or so. It's hard to be really good at something like that, but to be THAT good for THAT long is a rarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 At one point was my favorite kicker and seemed to be on track to becoming arguably the GOAT. Percentage and clutch gene were insane the first half or two thirds of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
