Thru the Uprights

[PoloPro]

I wanted to start a weekly update on Kickers, since you know they need love! Every week I am planing to go over ever kickers stats what they could improve on and a weekly ranking board. Mostly because I wanted to look at all of this in one place and I thought you all might enjoy it as well!

So lets get started Week 1 is underway here while we have only had one round of sims this week, its a good place to start.

B. Walsh
has been on fire since the preseason and won player of the game as the only Otter to score points. While he only as 50 TPE he has a particular build that has made him a consistent and long range kicker. With 72 Accuracy and 70 Power this is nothing to write home about and is one of the lowest in the league. What makes Walsh special is his brain with a whooping 65 intelligence this "Ryan Fitzpatrick of kicking" is changing the way kickers build. Check out his regular season stats so far! If this guy was active I am sure he would have broken the NFL record by now.

Walsh, B. 0 0 0/0 1/1 1/1 2/2 0/0

B Walsh also does the punting work for the Otters and is not bad. Hopefully he becomes active and adds some points in the power column to help with the punting.

Adrienne Nugent
has been queitly sucessful so far this season. He is proving that size doesn't matter with only 65 Power, it is all about the motion of the ocean with this guy. He knows exactly how to hit "that spot" with a league high 78 accuracy. He is 100% so far on the season. Check out his stats below!

XPM XPA FG < 20 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+
Nugent, A. 3 3 0/0 1/1 0/0 1/1 0/0

Nugent is also doing the punting work for the Outlaws and he was very busy in game one with 7 punts pinning one inside the 20. He might want to improve on his power if he is going to continue doing the punting work!

Archibald Booter
The Booter had some pre season concerns with accuracy after missing every field goal in the 40 and 50 yard range. "We all know he has the leg but being from Weed Springs CO might have killed a few brains cells" says Wraiths Coach. With a league low 50 intelligence coming out of the preseason this was The Booters focus. Now with 53.5 intellgence his studying has shown through going 2/3 from 40-49 including a league high 47 yarder. Hopefully Booter can continue to get smarter throughout the season and we can see his true potential!


XPM XPA FG < 20 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+
Booter, A. 3 3 0/0 0/0 0/0 2/3 0/0

The Booter was notified after game 1 that he would be taking over punting duties for the rest of the season. With 5 punts inside the 20 during the preseason watch out for this guy to be "putting them deeeep".

Kentillan Laces
has had a rough start to the season so far missing his only field goal try. Laces really took the Balanced archtype to heart with 71 points in both power and accuracy and with a 55 intelligence. He just isnt getting the job done. With only 50 TPE hopefully he becomes more active. The Sabercats have already added a season 2 prospect kicker. Laces is definitely on the hot seat going forward.

XPM XPA FG < 20 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+
Laces, K. 2 2 0/0 0/0 0/1 0/0 0/0

Laces is also doing the punt work for the Cats and it hasnt been bad but its not enough for him to keep his job if he doesnt become active soon.

Bojo Kicksit
is a firm believer in the size matters idea but sadly his stats seem to disagree, with 80 power this guy never skips leg day. Bojo touted as the best kicker in the league before it began will have to start rethinking his build even though he didn’t have any field goal tries I’m not sure he is even ready for that with only going making 1 of his two extra point tries.

XPM XPA FG < 20 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+
Kicksit, B. 1 2 0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0

The are one of two teams that have a designated punter that is active. Jimmy Darkapple might have had dreams of being a kicker but was put at punter behind the gym rat Kicksit. With 75 in power and accuracy the team might want to consider switching the two since power is the most important attribute for a punter and Kicksit seems to have plenty of it while Darkapple looks to have the accuracy for a Field Goal kicker.

Turk Turkleton
had a bit of a rough preseason coming in as what was thought to be one of the best kickers he missed a few extra points that most thought would be automatic for him. But with the week one update it seems he is back on track with over 100 TPE this guy is my number 1 ranked kicker. With 80 Power 72 Accuracy and 65 Intelligence I dont think this guy will be moving from number one for awhile. He hasnt gotten a chance to show off his leg yet but when the time comes I am sure he will prove himself.

Turkleton, T. 2 2 1/1 0/0 1/1 0/0 0/0

The Hawks also have a designated Punter Stephen Harris the Scottish monster has been the best punter preseason and in the first round of games with over 100 TPE this guys is the next Ray Guy who is the only punter to ever go in the first round ( I had to google for this) and his balls were consistently checked for helium.

I'm glad the kickers are getting some love. Wraiths game is proof that they're an important part of the team. Dick jokes throughout did not go unnoticed.
