The Chiefs need a new kicker.
 

Cairo Santos is not a reliable kicker.

I don't care about the 80-some percentage that Santos kicked on the year. He doesn't have a lot of leg, and the Chiefs don't trust him with anything other than short 20-to-40 yarders.

He's dogshit in coverage -- I've never seen a kicker stick his legs out to tackle a kick returner, but Santos is so small and slow that that's all he can do.

He doesn't have the confidence of the team. He doesn't have the confidence of the coaching staff. He doesn't have our confidence here, does he?

His missed kicks were huge momentum swingers in the 1st game of the year that we lost -- had we beat that shit-ass Titans team, we'd be in the playoffs right now.

His misses this year have been awful -- all misses are awful, but a good number of his misses have been knuckleballs that just flew off into oblivion. Even some of his connections have been awful -- his made kick in Denver this year was a low knuckler through the uprights.

I'm done with Cairo. I respect Dave Toub's ability to turn even circus clowns into competent special teams contributors, but it's time to bring in an actual kicker.

I vote Kyle Brindza out of Notre Dame, but I'm open to suggestions.

Wasn't he supposedly crushing the football in camp? I remember reading something to the tune of it sounded like gunshots when he hit the ball. Wonder what happened?

This thread sucks.

Justin Medlock in the 5th sounds good

The games got real.

I'm sure he's gifted enough to do everything you need him to do, physically.

Some people just lose it when shit gets real.

7-10 between 40-49 yards
1-2 50+ yards

Yup he sucks.

Justin Medlock is like the best kicker in the CFL right now.

The Chiefs quit on Medlock too soon.

Stupid thread. He'll be back.

I think the fact that after the more recent misses, we brought in a long snapper, spoke volumes.

I trust Toub more than anyone, and if he thinks the issues were on the snap location in the snap, hold, kick process.... then I do too.

In regards to the Titans game, it was his first game as a rookie. Not an excuse, but the fact that he overcame and didnt have a Medlock-meltdown showed me he's tough.

I don't have a problem with bringing in a kicker to compete, in fact I'd prefer it, but I'm not ready to write him off just yet.

We like our CFL guys. Bring him in.

Aren't you advocating we give up on Santos?

Well this is ironic, considering the original post for this thread.

Q! :)

New meme coming, one in the vein of Scumbag Stacy:

WANTS CHIEFS TO CUT A KICKER AFTER ROOKIE SEASON

I remember hearing that as well. His leg seemed stronger than Succops.

He's going to be solid. He can hit a 50-55 yarder he has the leg for that. Missed 5 kicks his whole rookie year. 2 in the first game and what 2 in game 15th or 16th game. the rest of the time he was $$$$.
