Title: Saw on another board that Broadus

Will replace Palardy. When have we sucked this bad at placekicking?!?

Yes, we have.  Palardy will handle kickoffs.

I like it, shows me Dooley knows the implications.

I think they are bracketed at co-starter.

Sounds like Palardy will do kickoffs but Brodus gets the start on placekicking duties. Should be interesting, and I understand why Dooley is ready to try Brodus. Good luck to him . . . he's worked hard but this is a tough game to come into.

I'm glad to see a new kicker,I can't remember one this bad. Greg Burke sucked in 1990

Just hope it doesn't come to that!

Me too. All the more reason to hope the offense is clicking so we don't have to kick many FGs. Then again, Brodus is 2-2 on FGs and 4-4 on XPs. There's at least some track record.

Also, Dooley mentioned he gets the ball up in the air, and that's something I thought was obvious Saturday. His trajectory is better than Palardy's. I just don't know what his range is like.

Estimates from watching warmups - at least 10 yards shorter range.  OTOH Palardy has increased his range from last year so the true delta is probably not as great.
