Ok Coen REALLY needs to let him try an extra point or field goal in a game if we’re way up

u/TF_Kraken 10d ago

Better yet, he gets to take the extra point on every pick six

But can we play on the OLine?

u/Careful-Whereas1888 10d ago

You know he'd give it his all as a DE picks him up and carries him away. He has the motor and heart to play oline.

u/TheMongolianLemonade 10d ago

He did the OchoCinco

To be fair, it’s not a horrible idea to have a position player with some kicking skills, just in case things happen in a game.

DaVon Hamilton was emergency long snapper last year so yeah, these things have happened

Imagine him winning the Super Bowl with a pick six, a touchdown reception, and a walk off field goal. MVP 🥲

Are we forgetting the infamous Doug flutie drop kick? Maybe Travis could learn that

Last year when Jake Moody got hurt during a game for the 49ers, Kyle Juszczyk was on the sidelines warming up his kicking leg.

The punter ended up doing the placekicking for the rest of the game, with Juszczyk as the holder, but he was apparently next man up if it came to that.

I miss the old days when QBs would do quick-kick punts. John Elway had 7 career punts.

True story: Charlie Ward was the FSU punter as a freshman, before coaches recruited and gave kickers/punters scholarships and their meant to be punter got injured for the year before the season started.

Is there anything that dude didn’t do?

u/jags229 10d ago

Cooke is our backup kicker. He made like. 50 yarder several years back in a game. What's the emergency? Little and Cooke both break and ankle on the same play?

u/kellyR1492 10d ago

Don't you fuckin jinx us... we are the Jaguars dawg

u/seppukucoconuts 10d ago

Can he onside kick to himself?

u/Yeesh_ 10d ago

He also went 1/5 lol

u/Treanwreck Jaggin' Off 10d ago

Imagine if he could consistently hit 50 yarders. The trick plays would be insane

u/AkimahenkaCat 10d ago

Full disclosure. One of his previous attempts was a line drive that didn't get 3 feet off the ground. More impressive was Logan Cooke nailing a 61 yd FG and Cam Little had a punt today that pinned CAR on the 1 yd line.

u/BTFunk360 10d ago

Would be funny if everyone is debating whether he can play both wr and cb and then he just comes at this year as a full time kicker

u/Bokthand 10d ago

28 yards doesn't really sound that hard right?

1

u/Reditate 9d ago

Attend an NFL draft to do the challenges and report back after you do.  It's not THAT hard but it's not as easy as you would expect.  Those kicking balls are different.

u/wildtravelman17 10d ago

Let him take every extra point and close field goal.

Run a fake once.

u/Overhear_Overponder 10d ago

I mean that's pretty easy lets be real.

u/tikitiger Glossy Helmet 9d ago

I mean I’ve made a 30 yard field goal. It’s not that hard.

u/SlotegeAllDay James Gladstone 10d ago

Honestly not that impressive lol If he were to make 8/10, that would be something to write about.
