Don't mean to start an argument but for now, he makes me nervous and I hope he is not in the position for game winners this season. Perhaps the year experience will serve him well.

He's fine. It's a compensatory 3rd. Which is like a 4th. His percentage is good. One doosy in Cleveland. He hit almost all FG's and every extra point. He has hit some long bombs in College and pros. The leg is very good.

Put it this way, no kicker aims for juuust inside the uprights. It's an adventure watching him kick.

An adventure? Like going off the free fall ride at Great America type of adventure? Lolol

A butt clenching experience.

What was concerning was on, and can't recall what kick it was, they called a TO and he just piped it down the middle. Then when the actual kick came up he pushed it right and just inside the uprights.

I think you are exaggerating a bit here. If he has a good career here i think he absolutely will live up to expectations.

agreed

its a bit ridiculous how fans view mid-round draft picks do you know the % of 3rd round picks that stay with he team past the rookie contract?

its so low. Fans i feel are so unrealistic they expect every draft pick to hit. If Moody stays with the team past first contract he is already worth the pick

Keep all his kicks under 40 and he probably will only choke away one or two the rest of the year.

Anything 40 or over better get it closer...

It is a weird bias with numbers. I get it, but they addressed an obvious need. I mean there were a few o line guys I liked there, but with the Kicker they knew they had their Kicker etc. Not the end of the world to me and a way better pick than Solomon Thomas or Foster lol

he is fine but needs to work on the +40s - ironically why Gould was put out to pasture.
