I told my wife that they should shoot him right there on the field after he missed that FG. Dude only has one job. See ball, kick ball where it goes. Period. He failed. Shoot him. That is all.
Much less where 3 points in the playoffs are huge. It almost cost us a game today & probably will at some point this season. Hopefully not in the playoffs, but odds are it will be.That End of Regulation FG attempt was terrible. Not giving me much confidence heading into the final stretch of our season.
That's besides the point. He's a liability, and he can't be relied upon in big games in the playoffs. You have to try and give someone else a chance. It's gone on far too long, I hope he's replaced soon.Lets not put it all on him.
Andre made a huge play.
Kubiak gets the ball and runs it twice, he pretty much settled for a 40 yard FG, it ends up being a 42 yard attempt which he drills...if only the team didn't false start...
47 yard kick now that is easily missable. I think you need to K.Y.P, Know Your Personnel, Graham isn't one of the best kickers in the NFL. Those guys would have drilled it either way...so you should have tried to get as close as possible.
I'd agree with you but there simply aren't kickers available in FA right now that can hit every 50 yarder and kick the ball through the EZ on kickoffs. Graham unfortunately is the best option we have.That's besides the point. He's a liability, and he can't be relied upon in big games in the playoffs. You have to try and give someone else a chance.

Well there are not a lot of kickers in the NFL that can consistently drill kicks in the 50 yard range.That's besides the point.

Bullock could make a tremendous impact on special teams next year if he is what we think he is. Better field position, threat of long field goals, did I mention better field position? Also, better field position.There's a reason he was available. Still he wouldn't be the first kicker to ever get iced like that. Hopefully Bullock comes through for us next season and we can address the position on a more permanent basis.
i dont think thats bullocks game either, hes a under pressure, clutch, consistency guy. not a monster leg guy..Bullock could make a tremendous impact on special teams next year if he is what we think he is.

People said he used to kick plenty of touchbacks while at A&Mi dont think thats bullocks game either, hes a consistency guy, not a monster leg guy..

That's true.Well there are not a lot of kickers in the NFL that can consistently drill kicks in the 50 yard range.
Even if he is NFL average on kickoffs that is a big upgrade. I am hoping for better than average.i dont think thats bullocks game either, hes a under pressure, clutch, consistency guy, not a monster leg guy..
Positives: Accurate field-goal kicker with adequate leg strength. Displays the ability to kick in all kinds of weather, dependable and comes up with big field goals. Gets good lift, as the ball immediately comes off his foot, and is able to get hang time on kickoffs.People said he used to kick plenty of touchbacks while at A&M
Or our pathetic front office sent him to IR resort because Gary doesn't trust rookiesSo many beastly rookie kickers this year, and we picked the chubby one that got a booboo in the preseason. :kubepalm:
What makes you say that? I never thought Kubiak was a coach afraid to play rookies.Or our pathetic front office sent him to IR resort because Gary doesn't trust rookies
There's a reason the Texans brought in Kickers last week for tryouts too .....There's a reason he was available. Still he wouldn't be the first kicker to ever get iced like that. Hopefully Bullock comes through for us next season and we can address the position on a more permanent basis.
I thought the whole point with stashing Bullock on IR with an "injury" was to go with the veteran. I'd rather have the stronger leg right now. Graham can't be used for anything over 50 based on us punting from the 36.That End of Regulation FG attempt was terrible. Not giving me much confidence heading into the final stretch of our season.
Bullock had a legit injury ... it wasnt an IR stash. A kicker with a bad groin cant kick ....I thought the whole point with stashing Bullock on IR with an "injury" was to go with the veteran.

Graham is accurate and he's got enough leg. The issue is he's like "anti-clutch". He's the kind of guy who will always look good in preseason. He'll always make the kicks and PAT's that are routine and have nothing riding on them. Game winners are his Kryptonite though.Bullock had a legit injury ... it wasnt an IR stash. A kicker with a bad groin cant kick ....
Whats weird is that Graham looked pretty solid in preseason and the first week or two of the season .... Other than a lack of depth on kickoffs but now he looks like he's got a case of the yips.
He's a liability .... needs to be upgraded ASAP!!
Isn't he like the 4th most accurate kicker ever?graham was in the bottom half of the league in terms of field goal percentage before today, i'm not sure why anyone thought he was good to begin with. as i said elsewhere - average kicker, weak leg, and has been mostly unemployed the last 2 years. we needed an upgrade before today, and shanking a potential game winner so badly just reinforces that.
Unfortunately, we found a kicker without a bad groin that can't kick.......Bullock had a legit injury ... it wasnt an IR stash. A kicker with a bad groin cant kick ....

Are you the Oracle?god help us if we need a 50 yarder in the playoffs :vincepalm:
Who would you replace him with? Who is available who can consistently kick 50 yarders?you have to make a roster move.. cut him, bring in someone else. graham is not the guy.. the texans have won back to back games that graham blew make-able kicks, what happens when the NEED a 50 yarder to tie and graham pulls it left.. if guys could keep their jobs because of what they did in the past then kris brown would still be our kicker..
I believe Ryan Longwell is still available. Apparently he was 2/3 from that distance last year, and was 10/11 the last four years.Who would you replace him with? Who is available who can consistently kick 50 yarders?
Basically for anyone other than Janikowski it is at best a 50/50 proposition.Who would you replace him with? Who is available who can consistently kick 50 yarders?
Agreed. My first mock had a kicker in the 6th. Perhaps an earlier round than 6th?Basically for anyone other than Janikowski it is at best a 50/50 proposition.
Having said that, looking to the next draft we are, absent trades. going to have 9-11 draft picks. Now is looking like a good time to spend a 4th or so on a young kicker if one is out there that looks like he could become your kicker for the next decade. Better a reliable starting kicker than someone to compete for 6th WR or another developmental QB.
Giving up on Randy Bullock already?Basically for anyone other than Janikowski it is at best a 50/50 proposition.

Wish we had Legatron.Giving up on Randy Bullock already?
Not really. Just didn't get to see much and leg injuries to kickers scare me. If the Texans are comfortable I am fine. I am just saying the Texans are well placed to spend a higher draft pick than you normally would on a kicker.Giving up on Randy Bullock already?
He doesn't have a cool kicker name. He must be a bum.Giving up on Randy Bullock already?
I have the texans taking a combo punter/kicker in the 5th or 6th in my upcoming mock.Not really. Just didn't get to see much and leg injuries to kickers scare me.

Worst transformers name ever. LOLWish we had Legatron.
